The floor of a canyon has an elevation of −14.5−14.5 feet. Erosion causes the elevation to change by −1.5−1.5 feet per year. How

many years will it take for the canyon floor to have an elevation of −31−31 feet?

<span>The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.</span>

The exclamation point (!) on a billboard consists of a circle sector and circle. The radius of the sector is 9 ft, and the radiu
harina [27]

Answer:

  24.0 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the sector is given by ...

  A = (1/2)r²θ . . . . . where θ is the angle in radians

The area of the circle is the same, with θ=2π, so is ...

  A = πr²

__

In this problem, the area of the sector is ...

  A = (1/2)(9 ft)²(24π/180) = 27π/5 ft² ≈ 16.9646 ft²

The area of the circle is ...

  A = π(1.5 ft)² = 9π/4 ft² ≈ 7.0686 ft²

Then the total area of the exclamation point is ...

  16.9646 +7.0686 ≈ 24.0 . . . ft²

The area is about 24.0 square feet.
