Answer:

2187\text{ ft}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length and w be the width of yard behind Cindy's house.

We have been given that the length of the yard is 18 feet longer than the width of the yard. We can represent this information in an equation as:

l=w+18...(1)

We have been also given that the perimeter of the yard is 72 feet. Since perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the sum of its length and width, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

2(l+w)=72...(2)

Dividing both sides of equation (2) by 2 we will get,

l+w=36...(2)

Substituting equation (1) in equation (2) we will get,

w+18+w=36

2w+18=36

2w+18-18=36-18

2w=18

\frac{2w}{2}=\frac{18}{2}

w=9

Upon substituting w=9 in equation (1) we will get,

l=9+18

l=27

\text{Area of rectangle}=l\cdot w

\text{Area of rectangle}=27\text{ yards}\cdot 9\text{ yards}

\text{Area of rectangle}=243\text{ yards}^2

Now, we need to convert the area of rectangle form square yards to square feet.

1\text{ yards}^2=\text{9 foot}^2

243\text{ yards}^2=243\times \text{9 foot}^2

243\text{ yards}^2=2187\text{ foot}^2

Therefore, the area of yard behind Cindy's house is 2187 square feet.

Let
L----------> <span>the length of the yard
W--------> </span><span>the width l of the yard

we know that
the perimeter is equal to
</span>P=2*[W+L]
72=2*[W+L] \\ 36=W+L  --------> equation 1
L=W+18  ------> equation 2
<span>substitute equation 2 in equation 1
</span>36=W+18+W \\ 36=2W+18 \\ W=(36-18)/2
W=9 ft
L=W+18 \\ L=9+18 \\ L=27 ft
<span>
we know that
Area of the rectangular yard is equal to
</span>A=L*W \\ A=27*9 \\ A=243  ft^{2}<span>


</span>

Answer:

Part A:

The surface area of a cylinder is given by

A=  6πr² if h= 2r

Part B:

Total Cost of covering the cylinder = Rate *2πrh + rate*2πr²

Cost of covering only the side = Rate *2πrh

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The surface area of a cylinder is given by

A= 2πrh + 2πr²

Where h= height and radius = r

But we have the height twice as radius so h= 2r

So putting h= 2r we get

A= 2πr(2r) + 2πr²

A= 4πr² + 2πr²= 2πr²(2+1) = 2πr²(3)= 6πr²

Part B:

Cost = Rate * area of the wall + rate * area of the top and bottom

Cost = Rate *2πrh + rate*2πr²

Where area of the top and bottom= πr² +πr² =2 πr²

and area of the side = 2πrh

Multiplying both with the rate and then adding would give the total cost of materials needed to cover the outside of the cylinder and from top and bottom as well.

If  you do not need to cover top and bottom then the expression would be

Cost of covering only the side = Rate *2πrh

Part C:

Already done above.

PLZ HELP STUCK ON THIS QUESTION 4a + 6b = 24 6a - 12b = -6 Given the equations what is the value of a+b? PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAI
Paul [167]

Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5
