Po The diameter of a circular fountain in a city park is 28 feet. A sidewalk that is 3.5 feet will be built around the fountain.

Find the area of the sidewalk rounded to the tenths place. 0.8 bag of concrete will be needed for every square foot of the new sidewalk. What is the minimum number of bags needed?

Answer:

Area of sidewalk = 346.5 ft^2

Bags of concrete = 277

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circular fountain is 28 ft. Radius = 28 / 2 = 14 ft

The thickness of the sidewalk is 3.5 ft. This means they want to add 3.5 ft to each radius of the fountain.

To find the area of the sidewalk alone, we have to find the area of the sidewalk alone and then subtract it from the area of the sidewalk and fountain.

That is:

A_s = A_{s+f} - A_f

The fountain is circular and its radius is 14 ft. Hence, its area will be:

A_f = \pi r^2

A_f = \pi *14^2 = 616 ft^2

The sidewalk and fountain together also form a circular shape. Their joint radius will be:

R = 14 + 3.5 = 17.5 ft

Hence, the area will be:

A_{s + f} = \pi R^2 \\A_{s + f} = \pi * 17.5 * 17.5 = 962.5 ft^2

Hence, the area of the sidewalk alone will be:

A_s = 962.5 - 616 = 346.5 ft^2

This is the area of the sidewalk.

For every square foot (ft^2), 0.8 bag of concrete will be used. This means that for 346.5 ft^2:

Bags of concrete = 0.8 * 346.5 = 277.2 ≅ 277

At least 277 bags of concrete will be used for the new sidewalk.

Given that the measure of angle GHJ = 154 degrees find the angle of HIJ
vichka [17]

Answer:

the correct answer is 77°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle GHJ and IHJ form supplementary angles which add up to 180°

therefore angle IHJ=180-154

angle IHJ=26°

Triangle IHJ is an isosceles triangle whose base angles HIJand IJH are equal. Lets assign them the same value, x° each

since the sum of all interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°, then x°+x°+26°=180°

2x+26=180

2x=154°

x=77°

Therefore both HIJ and IJH measure 77°

Please Help! I need help to my math question
dem82 [27]
First you need to get rid of the parenthesis by distributing the 0.6 to each term inside.
(0.6)(10n) + (0.6)(25) =10+5n
6n +15 = 10+5n subtract the 5n on both sides and subtract 15 from both sides
6n-5n = 10-15 
n=-5

Samuel deposits $1,800 in an account that earns 12% simple annual interest. How many months will it take for Samuel's account ba
Artemon [7]
In order to use the simple interest formula, we first define the variables. The interest would be equal to Samuel's desired amount $ 2,488 minus the principal amount of $ 1,800 which is then equal to $ 688. The rate must be in decimal form which is equal to 0.12 while t is expressed in years. Substituting the values, t is equal to 3. Thus, it will take 36 <span>months for Samuel's account balance to reach $2,448. </span>

A supervisor finds the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work. He finds x=29 and s=3.6 . Which s
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Option 3 is right

z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable which represents the mean number of miles that the employees in a department live from work

X is normal (N(29,3.6)

WE have to find Z score for X

Z =\frac{x-29}{3.6}

=2.22

i.e. 37 is 2.22 std deviations from the mean.

In other words, z37 is between 2 and 3 standard deviations of the mean.
