Since the base is 3 inches and the height is 4 inches, as well as the area of a triangle being base*height/2, we get 3*4/2=6 in. for each triangle. Since we need 20 pieces for each puzzle, we multiply 6 by 20 to get 120. In addition, since 80 puzzles are needed, with 20 pieces for each puzzle, we have 120 inches for each puzzle and 120*80 = 9600 square inches of wood used

Answer:

9600 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a puzzle contains a triangular piece with a base of 3 in. and a height of 4 in.

The would used for each triangular piece would be equal to area of triangle.

\frac{1}{2}\times 3\text{ in}\times 4\text{ in}=3\text{ in}\times 2\text{ in}=6\text{ in}^2

Each puzzle contains 20 triangular pieces, so wood used for each piece of puzzle would be 20 times 6 square inches.

\text{Wood used for each puzzle}=20\times 6\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for each puzzle}=120\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for 80 puzzles}=80\times 120\text{ in}^2

\text{Wood used for 80 puzzles}=9600\text{ in}^2

Therefore, 9600 square inches of wood is needed to make 80 puzzles.

Walter needs new grass in the circular pen for his chickens. The pen has 308 feet of fencing. What is the area of the pen?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 7546feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pen has 308 feet of fencing, this is the perimeter of the circular pen and we can get the raduus which goes thus:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

2πr = 308

2 × 22/7 × r = 308

44/7 × r = 308

r = 308 × 7/44

r = 49

Therefore, area of the circular pen will be:

= πr²

= 22/7 × 49 × 49

= 7546feet²

a washer and a dryer cost 659$ combined. The washer costs 91$ less than the dryer, how much was the dryer?  
Darina [25.2K]
W+D=659

W=D-91

---------------------------

(D-91)+D=659

D-91+D=659

2D=750

D=750/2=375

------------------------------

W+375=659

W=284

------------------------------

So the dryer had cost $375 and the washer had cost $284.
