Answer:

option B

$28.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question,

side length of one square tile = 9 inches

area of square tile = l² = 9² = 81 inches²

<h3>Step1</h3>

There are 48(96) = 4608 carpet tiles, so the company was making 4608($.05) = $230.40.

<h3>Step2 </h3>

Now, the company countered with square feet. We have a total of 4608(81) = 373,248 square inches.

1 square foot = 144 square inches.

373,248/144 = 2592 square ft.

2592($.10) = $259.20

$259.20 - $230.40 = $28.80

A rain gutter is made from sheets of aluminum that are 16 inches wide by turning up the edges to form right angles. Determine th
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Depth of the rain gutter is 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s assume ‘x’ is the depth of the rain gutter

Then the width of the rain gutter can be written as 16 - 2x

Cross sectional area

A = depth x width

Substitute values

A = x*(16 - 2x)

A = 16x – 2x^2

Now according to axis of symmetry for maximum area x = -b/2a

x = -16/2*(-2)

x = 4 inches depth of rain gutter, substitute the value of x to get

Width of rain gutter 16 – 2(4) = 8 inches

Area of the rain gutter for maximum water flow

A = 4 * 8

A = 32 square inch.

Vesnalui [34]
I think that the best visual representation that the marine biologist would use is utilising a bar graph. A bar graph is composed of bars residing in a coordinate plane. In addition to that, the visual representation would most likely be used since the average weight and length of each trout coming from 5 different locations is compared.
