Answer:

85.84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of the fabric would be the total net area of the shape of the tent covered.

Thus, surface area = area of the 3 rectangular faces + area of the 2 triangular faces

From the diagram given, the 3 rectangular faces have the same dimensions as follows:

L = 6ft

W = 4ft

Area of the 3 rectangular faces = 3(6*4) = 3(24) = 72ft²

The 2 triangular faces have the same dimensions as follows:

B = 4f

H = 3.46ft

Area of the 2 triangular faces = 2(½*B*H)

= 2(½*4*3.46)

= 2(2*3.46)

= 2(6.92)

= 13.84 ft²

Surface area of fabric used to cover the triangular tent = 72ft² + 13.84ft² = 85.84 ft²

Policeman A and Policeman B hand out 70 speeding tickets in a month.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Policeman A = 56 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Policemen A + B = 70

If Policeman B hands out x no of tickets...

Then Policeman A hands out 4x no of tickets

meaning...

x + 4x = 70

5x = 70

x = 70/5

x = 14

Therefore Policeman A hands out..

4x = 4 × 14 = 56 tickets

If 1 cm represents 30 km on a map and colorado is shown by a 20cm by 15 cm rectangle on the map, what is the approximate actual

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

20*30km = 600km

15*30km = 450km

600km * 450km = 270000 km^2

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming 1cm --- 30km causes that 2cm --- 60km, 3cm --- 90km, 4cm --- 120km etc. Notice that number of km's is 30 times greater than the number of cm's on a map

using this logic, you calculate both real dimensions of Colorado by multiplying 20*30 = 600 km and 15*30 = 450km

Then we use a formula of an area of a rectangle $A=a\cdot b$ assuming $a=600km, \ b=450km$ and get $A=600\cdot 450=270000km^2$ which is an actual area of Colorado
