A rectangular wall is 16 feet wide by 24 feet long. A contractor is looking to tile the wall with square tiles with a side lengt

h of 2 feet. If there is no gap left between any of the tiles, how many tiles would the contractor use to completely cover the wall?

Answer:

96 square tiles are needed

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, the first thing we need to do is calculate the total area covered by the rectangular wall.

Mathematically, the area of the rectangle = 16 * 24 = 384 ft^2

The next thing we need to do is calculate the area of the square tiles = L^2 = 2^2 = 4 ft^2

the number of square tiles needed = Area of rectangular wall/Area of square tiles = 384/4 = 96

Which points lie on the line that passes through point P and is parallel to the given line? Select three options.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

So we have (-1,3), (-2,2) and (-5,-1).

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find the equation of the line that is parallel to the blue line going through point P.

The slope of the blue line (count the rise/run) is 1/1=1.

Parallel lines have the same slope.  

So y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So since the blue line has slope 1 and parallel lines have the same slope then the line going through point P will have slope 1 too.

Point P is actually the y-intercept of the line going through P.

So the equation that is parallel to the blue line going through point P is y=1x+4. b was 4 because it was the y-intercept.

You can also just write y=1x+4 as y=x+4.

Testing the points:

(-4,2)?

Does y=x+4 for this point?  2=-4+4 which gives us 2=0 so no for this point.

(-1,3)?

Does y=x+4 for this point?  3=-1+4 which gives us 3=3 so yes for this point.

(-2,2)?

Does y=x+4 for this point?  2=-2+4 which gives us 2=2 so yes for this point.

(4,2)?

Does y=x+4 for this point?  2=4+4 which gives us 2=8 so no for this point.

(-5,-1)?

Does y=x+4 for this point?  -1=-5+4 which gives -1=-1 so yes for this point.

So we have (-1,3), (-2,2) and (-5,-1).

There are 58 students in an art class. The day before class begins, 10.3 percent of the students cancel
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:10.3% is the percentage of students who cancelled, but the question is asking for the students who are attending, so let's use 89.7% to make it easier. The proportion would be x over 58 is equal to 89.7% over 100%. ... 52 students actually attend the art class, making this your final answer.

What is the area of this shape?
Hunter-Best [27]

Surface Area of the square = 8 x 8 = 64 cm²

Surface Area of the 4 triangle = 4 x [ 1/2 x 8 x 14] 
Surface Area of the 4 triangle = 4 x [ 56] 
Surface Area of the 4 triangle = 224 cm²

Total Surface Area = 64 + 224 = 288 cm²

Answer:  288 cm²

A fish take contains 16 goldfish and 24 guppies. If you randomly select 2 fish, what is the probability that they are both goldf
Nostrana [21]

The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.
