Estimate the area of Alberta in square miles. Show your reasoning

Mathematics
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:  About 278,250\ mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

Notice in the first picture that Alberta has a complex shape.

You can calculate the area of a complex shape by decomposing it into polygons whose areas can be calculated easily.

Observe the second picture. Notice that it can be descompose into two polygons: A trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of the trapezoid  can be calcualted with the formula:

A_t=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)

Where "h" is the height, "B" is the long base and "b" is short base.

And the area of the rectangle can be found with the formula:

 A_r=lw

Wkere "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, the apprximate area of Alberta is:

A=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)+lw

Substituting vallues, you get:

A=(\frac{(410\ mi-180\ mi)}{2})(760\ mi+470\ mi)+(180\ mi)(760\ im)\\\\A=141,450\ mi^2+136,800\ mi^2\\\\A=278,250\ mi^2

Therefore, the area of of Alberta is about 278,250\ mi^2.

27 1/5 over 4/5 as a unit rate
REY [17]

Answer:

\frac{34}{1}  or 34

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit rate divide 27 1/5 by 4/5

but first

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

27\frac{1}{5}=27+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{27*5+1}{5} =\frac{136}{5}

so

\frac{136}{5}:\frac{4}{5}=\frac{136}{4}=\frac{34}{1}

A used car dealership buys a car for $2800 and then sells it for $4500 what is the percent increase?
Murljashka [212]
Alright, so we have the difference = 4500-2800=1700. To find the percent increase, we do 1700/2800=around 0.61 = around 61% percent

Find the area of a triangle whose sides are 3cm,6cm and 7cm
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is NOT  a RIGHT triangle so you <u>cannot use</u>   1/2 b * h

 but you can use Heron's Formula

Area = sqrt( s (s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )

s = semi- perimeter =   (3+6+7)/2 = 8

Area = sqrt ( 8 ( 8-3)(8-6)(8-7) )   = sqrt ( 80) = 8.9 cm^2
