Let's find the perimeter of the yard first (amount that needs to be fenced):
72 + 102 + 72 + 102 = 348 ft. 

Now we can find the amount of fencing sections needed 
348 ft. ÷ 8 ft. sections = 43.5 sections

The answer is 43.5 sections (may need to round up to 44 sections if the sections need to be whole)

Estimate the perimeter and the area of the shaded figure to the nearest whole number.
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area and perimeter of the given shaded figure are respectively 33.12 unit² and 20.56 units.

Area and perimeter-based problem:

What information do we have?

Radius of semi-circle = 8 / 2 = 4 unit

Length of remain Rectangle = 8 unit

Width of remain Rectangle = 2 unit

Perimeter of shaded figure = πr + (l + 2b)

Perimeter of shaded figure = (3.14)(4) + [4 + (2)(2)]

Perimeter of shaded figure = 12.56 + 4 + 4

Perimeter of shaded figure = 20.56 units

Area of shaded figure = πr²/2 + lb/2

Area of shaded figure = (3.14)(4)²/2 + (8)(2)/2

Area of shaded figure = (3.14)(8) + 8

Area of shaded figure = 25.12 + 8

Area of shaded figure = 33.12 unit²

irina [24]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Points (2, 6) and (4, 2)

Slope formula:

  • m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Using the given points:

  • m = (2- 6)/(4 - 2) = -4/2 = -2

Mike and Teegan each measured the volume of the 16-ounce bottle three times. They recorded their measurements as shown. Mike: 16
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Mike's measurement are more precise and more accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The mass of the measured bottle = 16-ounce

The record of the measurements made by Mike are;

16.4 oz

15.2 oz

15.8 oz

The record of the measurements made by Teegan are;

16.34 oz

16.59 oz

15.13 oz

From the two measurements, we have;

The precision of a measurement depends on how close the values of the measurement are to one another, therefore, we have;

For Mike, the precision is given as follows

16.4 - 15.2 = 1.2

16.4 - 15.8 = 0.6

15.8 - 15.2 = 0.6

Total difference = 1.2 + 0.6 + 0.6 = 2.4

For Teegan , the precision is given as follows

16.59 - 16.34 = 0.25

16.59 - 15.13 = 1.46

16.34 - 15.13 = 1.21

Total difference = 0.25 + 1.46 + 1.21 = 2.92

Therefore, Mike's measurements are more precise than Teegan's measurements

The accuracy of the measurement is the amount of closeness the measurements are to a given value

In the question, the given value is 16-ounces of the volume of the bottle

Therefore, by the mean absolute deviation from the 16-ounce of the bottle, we have;

For Mike;

Mean \ absolute  \ deviation = \dfrac{\left | 16.4 - 16 \right | + \left | 15.2 - 16 \right | + \left | 15.8 - 16 \right | }{3} = 0.533

For Teegan, we have;

Mean \ absolute  \ deviation = \dfrac{\left | 16.34 - 16 \right | + \left | 16.59 - 16 \right | + \left | 15.13 - 16 \right | }{3} = 0.6

Therefore, Mike's measurement is more accurate than Teegan's measurement.

Which gives;

Mike's measurement are more precise and more accurate.

Answer:

684 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the area of the middle rectangle by using:

A=LW

A=18*20

A=360

You can find the area of a triangle by using:

A=\frac{BH}{2}

Triangle 1: A=90

Triangle 2: A=72

2(72+90)+360

324+360

684
