The answer is 3: 3+5+8=5+8+3
Area of the figure
= (area of rectangle) + (area of triangle)
= (8 × 10) + (½ × 4 × 8)
= 80 + 16
= 96
Area = 96ft²
Quarts of paint needed
= 96/22
= 48/11
= 4.36
Mr. Chen will have to buy 5 quarts of paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ladder forms a triangle with the wall and ground.
The side of the triangle opposite of the 60° angle is 4 feet.
To find the length of the ladder (the hypotenuse), use sine.
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
sin 60° = 4 / L
L = 4 / sin 60°
L = 4 / (√3 / 2)
L = 8 / √3
L = 8√3 / 3
L ≈ 4.619 feet
To find the distance from the wall, use tangent.
tangent = opposite / adjacent
tan 60° = 4 / x
x = 4 / tan 60°
x = 4 / √3
x = 4√3 / 3
x ≈ 2.309 feet
Turn the fraction into an improper fraction.
4 13/25 -> 113/25
Divide both numbers.
113 / 25 = 4.52
Best of Luck!
