SInce you need 1.5 feet of overhang, add 3 feet to each axis dimension 1.5 on each side):

Minor Axis = 18 + 3 = 21 feet

Major axis = 25 + 3 = 28 feet


The area of an ellipse is found by multiplying half the minor axis by half the major axis by PI.


1/2 minor axis = 21 / 2 = 10.5

1/2 major axis = 28 / 2 = 14

Using 3.14 for PI

Area = 10.5 x 14 x 3.14 = 147 x 3.14 = 461.6 sq ft

This problem is not as simple as it may appear at first. The area of an ellipse is ...

... A = πab

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the semi-axes.

Here, it looks like you're expected to choose these to be 1.5 ft longer than half the given axes, so the area of the pool cover is about ...

... A = π(9 ft + 1.5 ft)(12.5 ft +1.5 ft)

... A = 147π ft² ≈ 461.8 ft²

_____

However, adding 1.5 ft of material to an ellipse results in a shape that is <em>not an ellipse</em>, but is slightly larger than the ellipse with the dimensions used above. The area of that may be about 462.5 ft² (found numerically).

What’s the equation for A slope =2 through the point (2,1)?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of line

Caroline is making some table decorations.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Caroline buys 3 packs of candles and 5 packs of holders.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You need to add numbers of candle packs together until they both reach the same number, for example, multiples of 30 are 30, 60, 90.

2.) Then you add multiples of the holders. 18, 36, 54, 72, 90.

3.) You find that Caroline buys 3 pakcs of candles and 5 packs of holders to have the same number of both.
