Answer:

  • area: 240 ft^2
  • bases: 20 ft, 10 ft
  • height: 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, 4/5 of a gallon is used, so covers ...

  (4/5)(300 ft^2) = 240 ft^2

The area of the trapezoid is 240 square feet.

__

The short base of the trapezoid is half the length of the longer base, so is ...

  (1/2)(20 ft) = 10 ft

The lengths of the bases are 20 ft and 10 ft.

__

The area formula for the trapezoid is ...

  A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the numbers we know, we can find h.

  240 = (1/2)(20 +10)h

  240 = 15h . . . . . simplify

  16 = h . . . . . . . . . divide by 15

The height of the trapezoid is 16 feet.

Answer:

95π

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a circle=πr²

radius of the big circle = 24/2=12

area of big circle = π(12)² = 144π

are of small circle = π(7)² = 49π

shaded area = area of big circle - area of small circle

= 144π-49π

= 95π

ms. van rock's favourite part of pizza is the crust. which size pizza should she get to get 37.68 inches of crust?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The 12'' one.

Step-by-step explanation:

The crust is at the perimeter of the pizza, and the pizza is a circle, so we just need to calculate the perimeter of the different pizza sizes, and see which one has a perimeter of 37.68 in.

First, you should remember that for a circle of radius R, the perimeter is:

P = 2*3.14*R

(notice that the measures in the image are the diameters of the pizzas, and the radius is half of the diameter)

The radius that we need to have if we want a perimeter of 37.68 in is given by:

P = 37.68 in = 2*3.14*R

   (37.68 in)/(2*3.14) = R = 6 inches.

Then we need a pizza of 6 inches (or a diameter of 2*6 inches = 12 inches)

Then the pizza that Ms. Van Rock should get is the 12 inch one.
