If there are 15 boards there are 14 gaps in-between. 
But first, 15 boards each 9 and 1/4th inches so you get  a total of 138 inches and 3/4th
If you subtract that from 144 you get 5 inches and 1/4th. The remaining amount is the total of all of the distance from the spacing.
Then you divide that by 14 (number of gaps/spacing in-between.)
So you get .375 inches. (3/8)
So width of the spacing between each board is 3/8ths of a inch

Find the area of the figure. Use 3.14 for A.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

38.13 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle =b*h/2

b=base

h=height

area triangle=(4m*3m)/2=(12m^2)/2=6m^2

the area of a rectangle =b*h

b=base

h=height

area of a rectangle=6m*3m=18m^2

area of a semi circle=(pi*r^2)/2

r=radius

area of a semi circle==(3.14*(3m)^2)/2=14.13m^2

area of the figure=6m^2+18m^2+14.13m^2=38.13m^2

the answer is 38.13m^2

Use a net to find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below: Three rectangles next to each other with a width o
kifflom [539]

Area tells us the size of a shape or figure. It tells us the size of squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, other polygons, or any enclosed figure.

In the real world it tells us the size of pieces of paper, computer screens, rooms in houses, baseball fields, towns, cities, countries, and so on. Knowing the area can be very important. Think of getting a new carpet fitted in a room in your home. Knowing the area of the room will help make sure that the carpet you buy is big enough without having too much left over.

Calculating Area

Area is measured in squares (or square units).

How many squares are in this rectangle?

example of rectangle with area of 15 square units

We can count the squares or we can take the length and width and use multiplication. The rectangle above has an area of 15 square units.
