Answer:

Minimum cost needed = $221

Remaining quart paint = 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of 1 gallon paints

y = number of 1 quart paints

1 gallon covers 320 square feet

1 quart covers 80 square feet

Number of gallons paint needed = Total siding of the house / 320 square feet

= 2250 / 320

= 7.0312

Approximately to the nearest whole number

Number of gallons paint needed = 7 gallons

Total siding of the house covered by gallons = 7 gallons × 320 square feet

= 2,240 square feet

Siding of the house remaining = Total siding - Siding covered

= 2,250 - 2,240

= 10 square feet

1 quart covers 80 feet

Therefore, 1 quart will cover the remaining 10 square feet

A. The minimum cost of the paint needed to complete the job

Total cost = (Price of gallons × Quantity of gallons needed) + (price of quart × Quantity of quart needed)

= (29 × 7) + (18 × 1)

= 203 + 18

= $221

Minimum cost needed = $221

B. How much paint is left over

Recall

1 quart covers 80 square feet

And remaining siding to be covered = 10 square feet

That is,

10/80 = 1/8 of a quart paint used

Remaining quart paint = 1 - 1/8

= 7/8 quart paint

How to do this question
slava [35]

Answer:

Length of the shorter diagonal is 8.68 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the side AB = 11 cm

Length of side BC = 5 cm

Angle between these sides, m∠ABC = 50°

By cosine rule in ΔABC,

AC² = AB² + BC² - 2AB.BC.cos B

AC² = (11)² + 5² - 2(11)(5)cos50°

AC² = 121 + 25 - 70.71

AC = √(75.29)

AC = 8.68 cm

By the property of parallelogram,

m∠B + m∠C = 180° [Interior consecutive angles]

50° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 130°

Similarly, In ΔBCD,

BD² = BC² + CD² - 2BC.CD.cos130°

BD² = (5)² + (11)² - 2(5)(11)cos130°

BD² = 25 + 121 + 70.71

BD² = 216.71

BD = 14.72 cm

Therefore, length of the shorter diagonal will be 14.72 cm.

What is the measure of angle x enter your answer is the box
evablogger [386]

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical degrees show that angles across from one another have the same value. All three angles will add up to 180 degrees. Subtract both 56 and 41 from 180 degrees to get a remainder of 83.
