Answer:

84 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the wall.

The wall is 8 ft high and 16 ft wide

A = LW

A = (16)(8)

A = 128 ft²

Step 2: Find the area of the window, fireplace, and mirror.

Window: The window measures 18 in wide and 14 ft high

18 in = 1.5 ft

A = LW

A = (14)(1.5)

A = 21 ft²

Fireplace: The fireplace is 5 ft wide and 3 ft high

A = LW

A = (3)(5)

A = 15 ft²

Mirror: The mirror above the fireplace is 4 ft wide and 2 ft high

A = LW

A = (2)(4)

A = 8 ft²

Step 3: Add all the areas of the three objects (window, fireplace, and mirror)

A = 21 + 15 + 8

A = 36 + 8

A = 44 ft²

Step 4: Subtract the total area of the objects from the area of the wall.

A = 128 ft² - 44 ft²

A = 84 ft²

84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

= 128 - 44

= 84 ft²

The radius of a sphere is 3 inches. Which represents the volume of the sphere?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V = $\frac{4}{3}$ πr³ ( where r is the radius )

Here r = 3, thus

V = $\frac{4}{3}$ π × 3³

= $\frac{4}{3}$ π × 27 = 4π × 9 = 36π in³ → b

Regular triangular pyramid has 6 cm long base edge and slant height k=9 cm. Find the lateral area of the pyramid.

gregori [183]

Answer:

81 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the lateral face of a triangular pyramid is a triangle,

Given,

The base edge or the base of one lateral face of pyramid, a = 6 cm,

And, the slant height or the height of the face, k = 9 cm,

Thus, the area of one lateral face of the pyramid,

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times a\times k$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 9$

$=\frac{54}{2}$

$=27\text{ square cm}$

We know that, a Regular triangular pyramid has 3 lateral faces,

Hence, the total lateral area of the pyramid,

$L.A.=3\times\text{ The area of one lateral face}$

$=3\times 27$

$=81\text{ square cm}$

The bases in a major league diamond are locate at the corners of a 900 yd^2 square as pictures below. a player throws a baseball

Licemer1 [7]

To answer this, you will use the area of 900 square yards to determine the distances between the bases. Each side of the square is 30 yards, so it will be 30 yards from 1st to home and from 1st to 2nd.

The distance from home to 2nd is a diagonal in the square (the hypotenuse).

You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this distance.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 30 ^2 = c^2
900 + 900 + c^2
1800 = c^2

The square root of 1800 is approximately 42.4 yards.

The ball travels approximately 42.4 yards.
