Answer: he needs to buy 578.5 yard² of Sod.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the lawn is square shaped, the formula for determining the area of a square is

Area = length²

If the length of each side of the lawn is 24 1/2 = 24.5 ft

Area of the lawn = 24.5² = 600.25yard²

The area of the pool house is 16yard²

The area of the side walk is

3 × 1 = 3 yard²

The length of the pool is 7 1/2 = 7.5yards

The width of the pool is 2 1/2 = 2.5 yards. Therefore,

Area of pool = 7.5 × 2.5 = 18.75 yard²

Therefore, the amount of Sod that he needs to buy is

600.25 - (3 + 18.75) = 600.25 - 21.75

= 578.5 yard²

Flour : sugar = (1/3) : (1/5) = 5 : 3 . . . . . . . . multiply the first ratio by 15 to eliminate fractions

The total of ratio units in the last representation is 5+3=8, so for a recipe of 16 cups, each ratio unit will stand for 16/8 = 2 cups.

Multiplying the ratio by 2 cups, we find Amanda will need

... 10 cups flour : 6 cups sugar

for her recipe.

Answer:

x = 3

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is a 45°, 45°, 90° triangle. The longest side ( 6 $\sqrt{2}$ ) can be $x\sqrt{2}$ while AB and CB are x. Because 6 $\sqrt{2}$ is equal to $x\sqrt{2}$ , you can see that x is equal to 6. Both AB and CB are equal to 6. ΔBDC ( CDB ) is a right triangle ( 30°, 60°, 90° ) so, BD = x, CB = 2x, and CD = $x\sqrt{3}$ . CB is equal to 6 so 2x = 6, x = 3.
