Answer:
66.4 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area is defined as the area around the surface of a 3-dimensional solid. The shape we are given here is a triangular prism with a square base. This means it contains one square and 4 triangles on the surface. To find the surface area, we just need to find the areas of all 5 surface shapes and add them up. We have been given that the square has a side length of 4 inches, meaning the area is 4^2 or 16. The area of a triangle is (1/2)base*height. The base length is 4 inches and the height is 6.3, and (1/2)*4*6.3 is 12.6. Note that, since there are four triangles, we have to multiply this value by 4 (12.6*4 = 50.4). Now we have the area of the square and the area of all the triangles put together, so we can just add them up:
16 + 50.4 = 66.4
The one of the left isn't too tricky, in the bottom left of it you have 1/2 of 1/4 of the shape, and on the bottom right you have 1/4 of 1/4. Imagine the whole shape was cut up like that bottom right bit into 16 triangles, then you would have three of them shaded (see my diagram).
The one on the right seems like guesswork to me, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. It look like you just have to use your eyes to work out how much of the bottom half of the shape is shaded: looks like 1/16 to me (i.e. you can draw four of those along and four down, again, see my diagram.) So plus the top half, which is 8/16, you get 9/16.
Answers: left picture: 3/16.

Answer:
$2,700
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x
The area of a rectangle is L * B
Hence,
x * 2x = 18,000
2x^2 = 180,000
x^2 = 90000
x = 300 meters
This means the length is 600 metres
Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)
= 2 ( 300 + 600)
2 * 900 = 1,800 metres
The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700
