Alex wants to sew a pillow in the shape below. How many square yards of fabric are needed to sew the pillow? Fabric is only sold
in increments of ¼ yard.
1 answer:
The shape is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
2.6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, the diameter of the inner semi - circle is 0.5 yards while the length of each side of the pillow is 0.2 yards.
Thus, for us to find the length of the seam which is along the edges of the pillow, we will calculate the perimeter of the outer semicircle, then add the perimeter of the inner semicircle and also add the sides too.
Now, due to the fact that the length of the sides of the pillow are 0.2 yards each, the diameter of the outer circle would be;
0.5 + 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.9 yards. So, the perimeter of the outer semicircle is,
P0 = πd/2 = π × 0.9/2 =0.45π yds
The perimeter of the inner semicircle would be given as;
PI = πd/2 = π × 0.5/2 =0.25π yds.
Thus, we can calculate the total perimeter of the pillow as;
PT = P0 + PI + 0.2 + 0.2
PT = 0.45π + 0.25π + 0.2 + 0.2
PT ≈ 2.6 yards
Alex will need 2.6 yds

Answer:
sin 50°
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(a). 2.251 cm , 2.349 cm, 2.295 cm
(b). 0.023 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). We are asked to to choose the options that shows the actual measurement of the rainfall.
Since the rounded figure is 2.3 cm, this means that either the tenths digit is 3 with hundredths digit less than 5, or tenths digit is 2 with hundredths digit greater than or equal to 5.
Let us check our given choices one by one.
Therefore, the correct choices are 2.251 cm , 2.349 cm and 2.295 cm.
(b) We know that 1 cm equals 0.01 meters.
To convert 2.3 cm to meters, we will multiply 2.3 by 0.01.
Therefore, the rounded measurement of rain would be 0.023 meters.
