Answer:  B) 4 BTUs/ft^3

Step-by-step:

For a cuboid of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:

V = L*W*H

In this case, we have:

L = 20ft

W = 15ft

H = 10ft

Then the volume of the room is:

V = 20ft*15ft*10ft = 3000 ft^3

Now we have 6 people, and each generate 400 BTUs per hour.

Then in total, they generate:

6*400 BTUs per hour

2400 BTUs per hour.

Now we want to find the BTUs per ft^3 produced in 5 hours.

Then if they generate 2400 BTUs per hour, in 5 hours they generate a total of:

5*2400 BTUs = 12000 BTUs

Now we take the quotient between the total BTUs and the volume of the room:

Q = (12000 BTUs)/(3000 ft^3) = 4 BTUs/ft^3

The correct option is B.

Find the area created by the overlapping circles given the following information.
lara31 [8.8K]

The area of a circular sector of central angle α (in radians) in a circle of radius r is given by

... A = (1/2)r²×(α - sin(α))


Your area is expected to be computed as the sum of the areas of a sector with angle π/3 in a circle of radius 8 and a sector with angle π/2 in a circle of radius 6.


... A = (1/2)8²×(π/3 - sin(π/3)) + (1/2)6²×(π/2 - sin(π/2))

... A ≈ 16.07


Radii are in inches so the units of area will be in². The appropriate choice is

... 16.10 in²


_____

It should be noted that the geometry described is impossible. Chord CD of circle A will have length 6√2 ≈ 8.4853 inches. Chord CD of circle B will have length 8 inches. They cannot both be the same chord.
