Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The enormous sinkhole that appeared in the middle of Guatemalan neighborhood in the year 2010 swallowed a three story building above it and the sinkhole has an estimated depth of about 100 feet
How much material is needed to fill the sinkhole?
Then , the material needed to fill the sinkhole will be dependent on the volume of the sinkhole.
Determine what information is needed to answer the question.
The information that is needed to answer this question are:
the base area of the sinkhole will be required; &
the height should also be known
if the base area is determined then we can proceed to determine how much material is needed to be calculated.
Do you think your estimate is more likely to be too high or too low
No, the estimate is not likely to be too high or too low rather the estimate of the material required will be almost equal to the volume of the sinkhole, but that does not implies that it will be exactly the same since the sinkhole is not uniform and regular in shape.
Answer:
A = 81 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of the parallelogram is
A = LH where L is the length of the base, and H is the height
L is given as 9, and H is given as 5, so
A = (9)(5) = 45 m²
The are of the triangle is
A = (1/2)bh where b is the base and h is the height
b is given as 9. Its's 9 because that side of the parallelogram is parallel to the base of the parallelogram and is also equal in measure. The height of the triangle is give as 8, so the area is..
A = (1/2)(9)(8)
A = 36 m²
The total area is
45 m² + 36 m² = 81 m²
