Charlotte is redecorating the master bedroom in her house. She has purchased a new bedroom set and also plans to paint the room

and put in new flooring. The room is rectangular, with dimensions of 16 feet (length) by 13 feet (width). The walls in the room are 9 feet tall, and the room contains two doors and two windows.
Charlotte has decided to put new carpet in the bedroom. The carpet she chose costs $1.85 per square foot, not including the cost of labor or other related materials. She was given the following information by the local flooring store where she is purchasing the carpet.

She is required to purchase a piece of carpet which includes a 3-inch overlap on all sides. Labor and material costs will relate to the area of this piece.
The labor costs are $23 per hour, per person.
A two-person carpet crew can lay 50 square feet of carpet each hour.
The crew that will complete the job at Charlotte's house will be a four-person crew.
There is an additional $75 fee to cover the cost of equipment, materials, and supplies.
questions:

1. What are the dimensions of the piece of carpet that Charlotte must purchase? Note: Express your answer as a decimal number and do not round.
length:____ feet width_____ feet
2. Recall that the area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length and width of the rectangle. What is the area of the piece of carpet that Charlotte must purchase? Note: Express your answer as a decimal number and do not round.
______ square feet
3. How many hours should it take for the four-person crew to lay the flooring in Charlotte's bedroom? Note: Express your answer as a decimal number and round to the nearest one-hundredths place.
_____ hours

Dimensions of the room------------------- >16*13
1 in---------------- >0.0833333 foot
3 in----------------- >x
x=3*.0833333=0.25 ft
Let
<span>C-------------- > dimensions of the piece of carpet that Charlotte must purchase
C-------------- > (16+2*0.25)*(13+2*0.25)---------- > (16.50)*(13.50)=222.75 ft</span>²
<span>
The answer a the question 1) is 16.50 feet X 13.50 feet</span>

The answer a the question 2) is 222.75 ft²

<span>3. How many hours should it take for the four-person crew to lay the flooring in Charlotte's bedroom?

if </span><span>two-person carpet crew can lay 50 square feet of carpet---------- > 1 hour</span><span>
four person </span>carpet crew can lay 100 square feet of carpet---------- > 1 hour

therefore

if  100 ft² carpet----------------------- > 1 hour
 222.75 ft² carpet--------------------- > x
x=222.75/100=2.2275 hours=2.23 hours

The answer is 2.23 hours

What is x2 – 6 = 16x + 30 rewritten in standard form, then factored?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The standard form of quadratic equation is x^2-16x-36=0

The factored form of x^2-16x-36=0 is (x+2)(x-18)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation x^2-6=16x+30

We have to write  in standard form and then factorize the given equation.

The standard form for a general quadratic equation is given as ax^2+bx+c=0

Consider x^2-6=16x+30

Taking all terms to left side, we have,

x^2-6-16x-30=0

Adding like terms, we have,

x^2-16x-36=0

Now we will factorize it.

We will solve the quadratic equation x^2-16x-36=0 using middle term splitting method,

-16x can be written as -18x+2x

x^2-16x-36=0  becomes

\Rightarrow x^2-18x+2x-36=0

Taking x common from first two terms  and 2 common from last two terms we have,

\Rightarrow x(x-18)+2(x-18)=0

\Rightarrow (x+2)(x-18)=0

Thus, the factored form of x^2-16x-36=0 is (x+2)(x-18)=0

A cone with volume 246 ft cubic if the height is 15 find the radius
Liula [17]

Answer:

r = 3.95 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = 246 ft³

246 = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * r^2 * 15

r² = \frac{246*3*7}{22*15*5}

r = \sqrt{15.65}

r = 3.95 ft

Which company’s tower holds the most water?
GuDViN [60]

Answer: First Option

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

V = \pi(\frac{d}{2})^2*h

Where d is the diameter of the cylinder and h is the height.

Notice that the term d is squared. This means that to increase the volume of a cylinder it is more efficient to increase its diameter as well. Therefore, look for the cylinder with the largest diameter among the options.

The first cylinder is 90 ft in diameter and 40 ft in height and its volume is

V = \pi(\frac{90}{2})^2*40

V=254469\ ft^3

You can verify that it is the tank that has the highest volume
