Answer:

4 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the formula for surface area of rectangular prism.

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where:

w = Width

h = Height

l = Length

The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 feet long, and 12 feet wide.

Hence,

=2 × (12 × 18 + 4 × 18 + 4 ×12)

=672 square feet

One gallon of paint covers 155 square feet.

Hence,

155 square feet = 1 gallon of paint

672 square feet = x

Cross Multiply

155 square feet × x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint

x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint/ 155 square feet

x = 4.335483871 gallons of paint

Therefore, based on the calculation above, approximately to the nearest whole number, Sierra uses 4 gallons of paint

X²- 6x = 7 FInd the soultion to the equation by completing the square
atroni [7]

Answer:

x = - 1, x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 6x = 7

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3) x + 9 = 7 + 9

(x - 3)² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 3 = ± \sqrt{16} = ± 4

Add 3 to both sides

x = 3 ± 4, that is

x = 3 + 4 = 7 or x = 3 - 4 = - 1

We have 50 video gamers who share information about their favorite games. 20 people say that Borderlands II is their favorite ga
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

2 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people (n) = 50

Borderlands II (B) = 20

Fortnite (F) = 33

Minecraft (M) = 19

Borderlands and Fortnite (B&F) = 15

Borderlands and Minecraft (B&M)= 10

All games (B&M&F) = 5

The number of people that claimed more than one game as their favorite (X) is given by:

X=M+B+F-n\\X=19+20+33-50\\X=22\ people

Those people can be divided in B&F only, B&M only, M&F only and B&M&F:

X=(B\&M-B\&M\&F)+(B\&F-B\&M\&F)+(M\&F-B\&M\&F)+B\&M\&F\\X=B\&M+B\&F+M\&F-2*B\&M\&F\\22=10+15+M\&F-2*5\\M\&F=7\ people

7 people claimed that Minecraft and Fortnite were their favorites however, 5 of those people claimed all of the games as their favorite. Therefore, only 2 people declared Minecraft and Fortnite (exclusively) as their favorites.
