12,900 BTU's are required to cool the room effectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

We must calculate the area of the entire shape to determine the minimum BTU's required to cool the room effectively.

It is made up of a semi-circle a rectangle, and a trapezoid.

Step 2:

The area of a semi-circle =\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} .

Here, the diameter is 20 feet so the radius is 10 feet.

The area of the semi-circle =\frac{ \pi r^{2} }{2} =\frac{ (\pi) (10^{2}) }{2} = 157.079 square feet.

The area of a rectangle = (l)(w).

The length of the rectangle is 22 feet and the width is 20 feet.

The area of a rectangle = (l)(w) =(22)(20) = 440 square feet.

The area of a trapezoid =\frac{a+b}{2} (h).

Here a=12, b= 20, h= 3.

The area of a trapezoid =\frac{12+20}{2} (3) = 48 square feet.

Step 3:

The total area of the floor plan =157.079+440+48 = 645.079 square feet.

If 20 BTU's are required for a single square foot,

The number of BTU's for 645.079 square feet = (645.079)(20)=12,901.58 BTU's.

Rounding this off, we get 12,900 BTU's required  to cool the room effectively.

sammy [17]

Answer:

To solve an exponential equation, take the log of both sides, and solve for the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Solve for x in the equation  tex2html_wrap_inline119 .

Solution:

Step 1: Take the natural log of both sides:

Step 2: Simplify the left side of the above equation using Logarithmic Rule 3:

displaymath123

Step 3: Simplify the left side of the above equation: Since Ln(e)=1, the equation reads

displaymath127

Ln(80) is the exact answer and x=4.38202663467 is an approximate answer because we have rounded the value of Ln(80)..

Check: Check your answer in the original equation.

HELP PLEASE ILL TRY TO MARK U BRAINLIEST
Anon25 [30]

Step-by-step explanation and answer:

For this you just need to plug in x for y = f(1/5x)

1/5(-4) = -4/5 or -0.8

1/5(-1) = -1/5 or -0.2

1/5(0) = 0

1/5(3) = 3/5 or 0.6

1/5(6) = 6/5 or 1.2 or 1 1/5
