Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

It s given that Sam is placing rope lights around the edge of a circular patio with a diameter of 18 feet, thus

radius of the circular patio=\frac{Diameter}{2}

⇒radius=\frac{18}{2}=9feet

Now, circumference of the circular patio is given as:

C=2{\pi}r

C=2(3.14)(9)

C=56.52 feet

Now, we know 1 ft=12 inches, therefore 56.52 feet=678.24 inches.

Number of strands of light will be equal to=\frac{Circumference}{Length}

=\frac{678.24}{54}

=12.56

≈13

Thus, 13 number of strands are needed to surround the patio edge.

You can find the circumference of the circle with the circumference equals 2pir.
circumference=2pi9
circumference=18pi
circumference=56.55 feet
you can then turn the feet into inches by multiplying by 12
(56.55 feet)x(12inches/foot)=678.58 inches
then divide 678.58 inches by 54 inches to find how many light strands are needed.
(678.58 inches)/(54 inches/strand)=12.57 strands

A parallelogram with a base of y units and a height of x units is changed to have a new base of 3y units and a height of 2x unit
nataly862011 [7]
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is

A=b*h    where b=base and h=height

if the base were to increase by 3times and the height were to increase by 2 times then
6A=b*h
The area of the parallelogram would be 6 times larger

So if the original area was 47units², then the new area would be

47*6=282units²

Answer=282units²
