Answer:

A. Olivia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total amount of gravel stated is 689 pounds and you want to check your answer, you can subtract one of the two trucks from the total. Which would be either 689 - 231 or 689 - 458. Therefore, A is the correct answer.

Find the volume of the garden shed

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

47.3 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden shed is made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid.

<h3><u>Volume of a rectangular prism</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a rectangular prism}&=\sf width \times length \times height\\&=4 \times 4 \times 2\\&=16 \times 2\\&=32\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of a pyramid</u></h3>

<u />

From inspection of the given diagram, the slant height of the pyramid is 3.5 m.

Calculate the perpendicular height of the pyramid using Pythagoras Theorem:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a^2+b^2&=c^2\\2^2+h^2&=3.5^2\\h^2&=8.25\\h&=\sqrt{8.25}\;\; \sf m\end{aligned}$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a pyramid}&=\dfrac{\sf length \times width \times height}{3}\\\\&=\dfrac{\sf 4 \times 4 \times \sqrt{8.25}}{3}\\\\& = 15.31883372\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of the garden shed</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of shed}&=\textsf{Volume of rectangular prism}+\textsf{Volume of pyramid}\\&=32+15.31883372\\& = 47.3\;\; \sf m^3\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}$

I need someone to solve this problem for me please

Amiraneli [1.4K]

First, solve the area of the entire large rectangle (28)(45) = 1260
Next, find the area of the chunk that is cut out (11)(15) = 165
- we know the width is 15 because 45 - 6 - 24
Subtract the cut out piece from the overall rectangle 1260 - 165 = 1095
