Teachers often all this problem a donut problem because it’s like the donut hole getting cut out of the middle. The way that you solve this is to find the area of the whole yard and subtract the area of the fountain. Since they are rectangles we’re going to use A = LW
Area of yard - Area of fountain
A = (8x)(9x) - (2x)(5x)
A = 72 x^2. - 10 x^2
A 62 x^2
Answer:
13.5 in, or 34.3 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, use the formula volume = pi * r^2 * height- you have the volume, so just solve the equation 411pi = pi * 9 * r^2 for r, and you get that r = 6.75. Since diameter is equal to 2r, multiply 6.75 by 2 to get your answer of 13.5 inches. The questions asks for the diameter in centimeters though, which makes it 34.3 cm.
Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
Answer:
x = 4
y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution, elimination, or graphically.
Step 1: Rearrange first equation
2x + 4y = -4
2x = -4 - 4y
x = -2 - 2y
Step 2: Rewrite systems of equations
x = -2 - 2y
3x + 5y = -3
Step 3: Substitution
3(-2 - 2y) + 5y = -3
-6 - 6y + 5y = -3
-6 - y = -3
-y = 3
y = -3
Step 4: Find <em>x</em> using <em>y</em>
2x + 4(-3) = -4
2x - 12 = -4
2x = 8
x = 4
Graphically:
Use a graphing calc and analyze where the 2 lines intersect.
The model says a=.25t+29
a) since 1995 is 25 years after 1970 we have
a=.25*25+29=6.25+29=35.25 yrs old
b) since 2015 is 45 yrs since 1960 we have
a=.25*45+29=11.25+29=40.25, or 40.3 rounded to the nearest tenth
