Answer:

Question 1 = c) Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2 = d) 46.7 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

We would be solving this question by finding the surface area of the tent. The shape of the tent is a square based pyramid.

The surface area of a square based pyramid(tent) =

a² + 2ah

Where in the diagram,

a = base length = 4 ft

h = height of the pyramid (tent ) = 9ft

Surface area = 4² + 2 × 4 × 9

= 16 + 72

= 88ft²

Therefore, the size tarp should she purchase is Medium: 88 ft²

Question 2

For question 2, from the attached diagram, we can see that the diagram is a square based pyramid.

To calculate the amount of water that would fill the square based pyramid, we would have to find the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid).

The formula for the Volume of the tent(square based pyramid) = 1/3(a²h)

Where a = base edge

h = height of the pyramid.

From the diagram,

a = base edge => 4ft.

From the question,

h = height of the tent is given as how tall the tent is = 8.75ft.

Therefore, 1/3(a²h)

1/3 × (4ft)²× 8.75ft

= 46.67ft³

Approximately = 46.7ft³

Therefore, the amount of water it would it take to fill the tent, if the tent is 8.75 ft tall is 46.7ft³

Sara has two puppies, Sonny & Cher. Every month she purchases enough food to feed her puppies for the month. Sonny eats 8.25

Ipatiy [6.2K]

The amount of Cute Puppy food needed for the year is 1140 cans.

<h3>Determining the total number of cans that the dogs eat in a year</h3>

The first step in determining the total number of cans needed in year is to calculate the sum of dog food consumed in a week.

8.25 + 15.5 = 23.75 cans

The second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a month

23.75 x 4 = 95

The third second step is to determine the total cans the dogs consume in a year:

95 x 12 = 1140 cans

<h3>Cost of cute puppy food needed in a year</h3>

1140 x ($21 /40) = $598.50

Theo earns a base salary plus commission. At the end of September, he was paid $3,835.25 based on his monthly sales of $12,850.

hodyreva [135]

Theo's base salary using a simultaneous equation approach is $2,996.22 .

In order to determine the base salary of Theo, we can express the two earnings and sales amounts using simultaneous equation, that we would solve to arrive at the base salary

Bear in mind that total earnings are determined as base salary plus commission

Let X be the base salary

Let R be the rate of commission

commission =sales*rate of commission

When earnings were $3,835.25 and sales is $12,850, we have the below equation:

X+(12,850*R)=3,835.25

X+12850R=3,835.25 .................... equation (1)

When earnings were $3,641 and sales is $9,875, we have the below equation:

X+(9,875*R)=3641

X+9875R=3641 ......................... equation (2)

subtract equation 2 from 1

2975R=194.25

R=194.25/2975

R=commission rate=6.52941176470588%

substitute for R in equation 1 to arrive at X(base salary)

X+(12850*6.52941176470588%)=3,835.25

X=3,835.25-(12850*6.52941176470588%)

X=base salary=$2,996.22

Question 7 PLEASE HELP Describe the transformation from the graph of f(x) =x to the graph of g(x)=1/5x+4 A: The transformations

Elis [28]

Answer:

A: The transformations are a rotation and a translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) is shown in the attachment as a dashed red line. The function g(x) is shown as the blue line.

The two lines have different slopes. The change in slope can be accomplished by horizontal or vertical scaling, or by rotation. The offered answer choices only include <em>rotation</em> as an option for changing the slope.

The two lines have different intercepts. To move the line from one intercept to another, generally translation is involved.

The simplest transformation is rotation and translation.

_____

<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>

If the reflection is done across a line other than an axis, or if the rotation is done about a point other than the origin, then <em>any combination of rotation, reflection, and translation can be used to make the transformation seen</em>. (Translation alone is not sufficient.)

For example, reflecting the line across the bisector of the angle between the lines (a line with a slope of (√13 -2)/3 through (5, 5)) will give the desired transformation in one step.

Similarly, a rotation of about 33.69° about the point (5, 5) will give the transformation in on step. (That angle is 45°-arctan(1/5).)

Which function is a quadratic function

Pavlova-9 [17]

A quadratic function is one of the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are numbers with a not equal to zero. The graph of a quadratic function is a curve called a parabola. ... A parabola intersects its axis of symmetry at a point called the vertex of the parabola. You know that two points determine a line.

Colton earns $35 per lawn he mows. In kne day he mows four lawns and he works five days a week for 20 weeks a year. His expenses

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) Consider that he makes $1189 every two weeks engaged with work

2) An estimate of the opportunity cost of going on the fishing trip is $1450 in two weeks

3). If he decides to buy the truck, he has to work for about 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data

Total revenue from lawn mowing per year = 35 × 4× 5×20 = $1400

Similarly total operating costs = $2110

Total profit per annum = $11890

However total revenue per every 2 weeks = $1189

To buy the truck, sell his and go on the fishing trip it will cost = 5200-1500+250 =$3950 hence he has to work for about 6.64 or approximately 7 weeks before going on the fishing trip

2) Opportunity cost will factor in the cost of having someone work for him while away

The cost is = $250 + $120/day

Hence in two weeks it will cost him $1450

3) He has to work for about 7 weeks to be able to afford the truck
