Answer: About 8.5 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the garden = 16 ft.

The width of the garden = 34 ft.

The depth of the thick layer of topsoil on the garden = 5 inch

=\dfrac{5}{12}\text{ ft.}               [Since 1 foot = 12 inches]

The volume of a rectangular prism :-

V=l*w*h, where l is length , w is width and h is height.

The number of cubic feet of topsoil required will be

V=16\times34\times\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{680}{3}\text{cubic feet}

Since 1 yard = 3 feet

1\text{ foot}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}

V=\dfrac{680}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=8.3950617284\approx8.50\text{cubic yards}

Find Sn for the given arithmetic series a1=-26 d=-9 n=24
ryzh [129]

Answer:

- 3108

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a_{1} + (n - 1)d ]

Substitute the given values into the formula

S_{24} = \frac{24}{2} [ (2 × - 26) + (23 × - 9) ]

                          = 12 ( - 52 - 207 )

                         = 12 × - 259 = - 3108

Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play.
Flauer [41]

Answer:the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or  6 1/4 feet wide

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Area of  a rectangular plywood = length x width

Area of Ist Plywood= 7 x w

Area of 2nd  Plywood= 61/2 x w=6.5 xw

But Total Arae of trhe two Plywoods are = 84 3/8 square feet.

Therefore Our equation to solve the problem becomes

Area of Ist Plywood + Area of 2nd  Plywood =84 3/8 square feet.

7w + 6.5w =  84 3/8

13.5w= 84 3/8

w =  84 3/8/13.5

675/8  / 13.5

w=6.25

Therefore the width of plywood = 6.25 feet wide or 6 1/4 feet.
