You want to put a 4 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 28 ft by 14 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How ma

ny cubic yards will you need to order? The store only sells in increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

topsoil : 4 inch
28 ft by 14 ft garden
increments of 1/4 cubic yards

We need to convert all the units into yards. to find out the number of cubic yards you need to buy

As we know:

1 yard = 3 feet or 1 yard = 36 inches

=> 1 inch = 1/36 yard.

=> 1 feet = 1/3 yard

So the volume of the topsoil is:

= $4(1/36)(28)(1/3)(14)(1/3)$

= 4.839 cubic yard

So the number of cubic yards you need to buy :

4.839 : 1/4 ≈ 19

Hope it will find you well.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 in

so 1 in = 1/36 yard, 1 ft = 1/3 yard.

The volume of the layer of the topsoil, is:

4 in * 28 ft * 14 ft = 4 *(1/36)*23*(1/3)*17*(1/3) yard cubed =

(4*28*14)/(36*3*3)= 1955/324=

The store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

we need 6.034/0.25=

So we need to buy 25 (24 will not be enough) increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

The coordinates of point P on a coordinate grid are (−5, −6). Point P is reflected across the y-axis to obtain point Q and acros

Llana [10]

Hey friend!
Let's figure this out!

P(−5, −6)
reflect about y axis
Q(5, -6)
reflect about x axis
R(5,6)

So that gives you the answer!
3. Q(−5, 6) and R(5, −6)

Hope this helped!

If 5 + 20 times 2 Superscript 2 minus 3 x Baseline = 10 times 2 Superscript negative 2 x Baseline + 5, what is the value of x? –

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3><h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

<h3>To find the value of x :</h3>

First solving the given equation we have,

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}-5=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5-5$

$20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times (2)^2.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times 4.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$80(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{80}{10}(2)^{-3x}=\frac{10\times (2)^{-2x}}{10}$

$8(2)^{-3x}=(2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{(2)^{-3x}}{(2)^{-2x}}=\frac{1}{8}$

$(2)^{-3x}.(2)^{2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $\frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m$ )

$2^{-3x+2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$2^{-x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$

$\frac{1}{2^x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

Since bases are same so powers are same

Therefore we can equate the powers we get x=3

<h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3><h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3>

The area of the square is 100 square centimeters. What is the area of the circle?

swat32

Answer:

Since the question is incomplete, see the figure attached and the explanation below.

Explanation:

Since the figure is missing, I enclose the figure of a square inscribed in a circle.

Since the <em>area of a square</em> is the side length squared, you can determine the side length:

Area = (side length)²

100 cm² = (side lenght)²

$side\text{ }length=\sqrt{100cm^2}=10cm$

From the side length, you can find the diagonal of the square, which is equal to the diameter of the circle, using the Pythagorean theorem:

diagonal² = (10cm)² + (10cm)² = 2 × (10cm)²

$diagonal=\sqrt{2\times (10cm)^2}\\ \\ diagonal=10\sqrt{2} cm$

The area of the circle is π (radius)².

radius = diameter/2 = diagonal/2

$area= \pi \times (5\sqrt{2}cm)^2=50\pi cm^2$
