2\frac{3}{10} inches of snow is left

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

From given,

Original\ amount\ of\ snow = 5\frac{8}{10}\ inches = \frac{10 \times 5 + 8}{10} = \frac{58}{10}\ inches

Sun\ melted = 3\frac{1}{2}\ inches = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}\ inches

<em><u>how many inches of snow is left</u></em>

Snow left = original amount of snow - sun melted

Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{7}{2}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{7 \times 5}{2 \times 5}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58}{10} - \frac{35}{10}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{58 - 35}{10}\\\\Snow\ left = \frac{23}{10}\\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions\\\\Snow\ left = 2\frac{3}{10}

Thus 2\frac{3}{10} inches of snow is left

stepladder [879]

Answer:

8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First you must know that the diameter of the semi-circular patio is equal to the length of one side of the square

Area of a semi circle = πr²/2

25.12  = πr²

25.12 = 3.14r²/2

r² = 25.12(2)/3.14

r² = 16

r = √16

r = 4

Get the diameter

d = 2r

d =2(4)

d = 8cm

Hence the length of the side of the square is 8cm
