Answer:

Mr. Avery will need to buy 5.4 gallons of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Avery estimates that the area he needs to paint is about 1600 and  each gallon of paint will cover about 250 sq feet.

So to find the number of gallons of paint needed to paint the outside of house we will divide total area to be painted (1600 sq. ft) by area covered by gallon of paint.

\text{The number of gallon required to paint}=\frac{\text{Area of the house to be painted}}{\text{Area painted by 1 gallon of paint}}

Since Mr. Avery has 1 gallon of paint left over from the last time he painted that he can use this time, so Mr. Avery will need one gallon less. We can represent this information as:

\text{The number of gallon required to paint}=\frac{\text{Area of the house to be painted}}{\text{Area painted by 1 gallon of paint}}-1

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

\text{The number of gallon required to paint}=\frac{1600\text{square ft}}{\text{250 square ft}}-1

\text{The number of gallon required to paint}=6.4-1

\text{The number of gallon required to paint}=5.4

Therefore, Mr. Avery will need to buy 5.4 gallons of paint.

It look like that. 
Diameter = 2 so the radius = 1/2 * diameter = 1in

Volume of the cylinder =  pi r^2 h 

where h = height of the cylinder = 9 in

so volume = pi * 1^2 * 9  =  28.27 in^2  to nearest hundredth

One number is 8 greater than another. The product of the numbers is 84. Find the numbers.
mario62 [17]

Let x,y be the two numbers.

Given that one number is 8 greater than another.

Let x be the smaller number ans y be the greater number.

That is y=x+8. Let this be the first equation.

And also given that product of the two numbers is 84.

That is x × y = 84, let us plugin y=x+8 here.

x × (x+8) = 84

x²+ 8x -84 = 0.

x²+12x-4x-84 = 0

x(x+12)-4(x+12) =0

(x-4)(x+12)=0

That is x= 4 or -12.

<h3>If x=4 , y= 4+ 8 = 12</h3>

<h3>If x= -12, y= -12+8 = -4 </h3>

Hence two positive numbers corresponding to given conditions are 4,12.

And two negative numbers corresponding to given conditions are -12,-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it may help you!!
