Answer:

1.2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that each room is rectangular with four walls and no doors. If the dimensions are length l, by width w with height h, then there are two walls with area l*h and two walls with w*h.

The total area of the room is thus: 2lh + 2wh = 2h(l+w).

l = 12ft, w = 12ft, h = 10ft  (all given)

Area of walls = 2h(l+w) = 2*10(12+12)

Area = 2*10*24 = 480 square feet

Each gallon of paint covers 400 square feet. So, you will need to buy

480 / 400 = 1.2 gallons

You will need to buy 2 gallons

jasenka [17]

Answer:

In diffuse reflection, reflected rays move in different directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection refers to the bouncing off of light from a surface. Reflection can be regular or diffuse.

Regular reflection occurs when light bounces off a well polished surface while diffuse reflection occurs when light bounces off a rough surface.

During diffuse reflection, light is reflected in different directions.

What must be done to the wires used to make an electromagnet before they connect
CaHeK987 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a simple electromagnet, you'll need a source of electricity, a conductor, and metal. Wrap insulated copper wire tightly around an iron screw or nail before connecting the wire to a battery, and watch as your new electromagnet picks up small metal objects.

If there are approximately 1.8 million cars in Vancouver and if each car travels an average of 17,500 kilometres in a year, how
Goryan [66]

Rates are used to measure a quantity over another.

<em>The 1.8 million cars use </em>1.85 \times 10^{10}<em> liters each year</em>

Given

Cars = 1.8\ million

d = 17500km --- distance

r = 40miles/gallon

First, we calculate the number (n) of gallons used by each car

r = \frac{d}{n}

Solve for n

n = \frac{d}{r}

So, we have:

n = \frac{17500km}{40miles/gallon}

n = \frac{17500km}{40miles}gallon

Convert miles to kilometers

n = \frac{17500km}{40km \times 1.60934}gallon

n = \frac{17500km}{64.3738km}gallon

n = 271.85\ gallon

The number of gallons (N), used by all the cars is:

N = n \times cars

N = 271.85 \times 1.8\ million

N = 489330000

Convert to liters

N = 489330000 \times 3.78541L

N = 1852314675.3L

In scientific notation to 2 decimal places, we have:

N = 1.85 \times 10^{10}L

<em>Hence, the number of liters used is </em>1.85 \times 10^{10}<em />
