Answer:

17.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the outer square(the whole garden) is 20 feet and the area of a square is length squared.

20² = 400

For the first question, the area of the inner square will be

X = Length × Width

The area of the entire garden which is also the area of the outer square is

Length × width

= 20 × 20

= 400 feet

For the third question,we were asked to find 75% of the area of the entire garden which is

75/100 × 400

=300 feet

For the fourth question, we are now asked to write an equation of the area of the inner square using steps 1 and 3

x² = 0.75(20²)

x² = 300

For the fifth question

x² = 0.75(20)²

x² = 300

x = √300

x = (+ or-)17.32 feet

And for the last queston

x = +17.32 feet since the length shouldn't be a negative

Answer:

x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The side length of inner square = x ft

- The side length of outer square = 20 ft

Find:-

Find the side length of the inner square that would make the area of the inner square equal to 75% of the total area of the garden.

Solution:-

- Compute the area of the inner square (A_i) using side length (x):

                                 A_i = side length ^2

                                A_i = x^2 ft^2

- The area of the entire garden is the area (A_o) of the outer square with side length equal to 20 ft.

                                 A_o = side length ^2

                                 A_o = 20^2

                                A_o = 400 ft^2

- The 75% of the entire garden is :

                                 (75 / 100)*A_o

                                 (75 / 100)*400

                                 300 ft^2

- The area of the inner square is 75% of the entire garden the mathematical expression for it is:

                                 A_i = 300 ft^2

                                 x^2 = 300 ft^2

- The side length required for the inner square is the solution to the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = √300

                                 x = 17.320508ft.

                                 x = 17 ft ... ( nearest 10th of a foot )

The Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China, is a 468-meter high tower with 11 spheres along the tower. Two spheres are larger t
Alexeev081 [22]

The approximate total volume of the two largest spheres on the Oriental Pearl Tower 113105.45 m³.

<h3 /><h3>How to find the volume of a sphere</h3>

The volume of the sphere is calculated as follows:

volume = 4 / 3 πr³

where

  • r = radius

The lower two larger spheres in the tower has a radius of 25 meters and 22.5 meters. Therefore, the total volume of the two largest sphere is as follows:

volume of lower sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 25³

volume of lower sphere = 196250 / 3

volume of lower sphere = 65416.6666667

volume of lower sphere = 65416.7 m³

volume of higher sphere = 4 / 3 × 3.14 × 22.5³

volume of higher sphere = 143066.25 / 3

volume of higher sphere = 47688.75

volume of higher sphere = 47688.8 m³

The approximate total volume = 65416.7 + 47688.8  = 113105.45 m³

A group of 8 people are picking up litter along a 4 over 5 km length of road. Each person is assigned an equal section of the ro
zepelin [54]

You know that 1 km=1000 m, then the length of the road \dfrac{4}{5} km is \dfrac{1000}{5} \cdot 4=200\cdot 4=800 metres.

A group of 8 people are picking up litter along the road and each person is assigned an equal section of the road. The whole road has length 800 m, then for each person will be assigned 800:8=100 m of the road.

If you want to know the length of each part in km, then 1 m=0.001 km and 100 m =1 m·100=0.001 km ·100=0.1 km.

Solve the following System of Equations<br> 5x+4y-z=1<br> 2x-2y+z=1<br> -x-y+z=2
podryga [215]

Answer:

x = 0 , y = 1 , z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

2 x - 2 y + z = 1 | (equation 2)

-x - y + z = 2 | (equation 3)

Subtract 2/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - (18 y)/5 + (7 z)/5 = 3/5 | (equation 2)

-x - y + z = 2 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 2 by 5:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y + 7 z = 3 | (equation 2)

-x - y + z = 2 | (equation 3)

Add 1/5 × (equation 1) to equation 3:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y + 7 z = 3 | (equation 2)

0 x - y/5 + (4 z)/5 = 11/5 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 5:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y + 7 z = 3 | (equation 2)

0 x - y + 4 z = 11 | (equation 3)

Subtract 1/18 × (equation 2) from equation 3:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y + 7 z = 3 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+(65 z)/18 = 65/6 | (equation 3)

Multiply equation 3 by 18/65:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y + 7 z = 3 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Subtract 7 × (equation 3) from equation 2:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x - 18 y+0 z = -18 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 2 by -18:

{5 x + 4 y - z = 1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Subtract 4 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x + 0 y - z = -3 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Add equation 3 to equation 1:

{5 x+0 y+0 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y+0 z = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+y+0 z = 1 | (equation 2)

0 x+0 y+z = 3 | (equation 3)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 0 , y = 1 , z = 3
