You are remodeling your bedroom. You will paint all 4 walls and the door. There are no windows in the room. The floor is 9' by 1

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Part 1) The area of the 4 walls is $368\ ft^2$

Part 2) You will have to buy 2 gallons

Part 3) You will have to buy 3 gallons

Part 4) $\$75$

Part 5) The area of the floor is $126\ ft^2$

Part 6) $\$850.5$

Part 7) $\$1,008$

Part 8) $\$472.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) What is the area of all 4 walls together?

we know that

The area of all 4 walls together is equal to the perimeter of the floor multiplied by the height of the wall (8 ft)

so

The perimeter of the floor is

$P=2(9+14)=46\ ft$

The area of the walls is

$46(8)=368\ ft^2$

Part 2) If a gallon of paint covers 350 sq. ft., How many gallons will you have to buy?

using proportion

$\frac{1}{350}\ \frac{gal}{ft^2}=\frac{x}{368}\ \frac{gal}{ft^2}\\\\x=368/350\\\\x=1.05\ gal$

Remember that you can't buy a fraction of gallon

so

You will have to buy 2 gallons

Part 3) How many gallons will it take to put on 2 coats of paint?

Now the area will be

$368(2)=736\ ft^2$

using proportion

$\frac{1}{350}\ \frac{gal}{ft^2}=\frac{x}{736}\ \frac{gal}{ft^2}\\\\x=736/350\\\\x=2.10\ gal$

Remember that you can't buy a fraction of gallon

so

You will have to buy 3 gallons

Part 4) If the paint costs $25 per gallon, and you are applying 2 coats of paint, how much will you spend on paint?

To find the cost multiply the number of gallons by $25 per gallon

so

$3(25)=\$75$

Part 5) What is the area of the floor?

The area of the floor (rectangle ) is equal to multiply the length of the floor by the width of the floor

$A=(9)(14)=126\ ft^2$

Part 6) What is the cost to redo the floor in oak?

To find the cost multiply the area of the floor by $6.75 per square foot

so

$126(6.75)=\$850.5$

Part 7) What is the cost to redo the floor in maple?

To find the cost multiply the area of the floor by $8.00 per square foot

so

$126(8.00)=\$1,008$

Part 8) What is the cost to redo the floor in carpet?

To find the cost multiply the area of the floor by $3.75 per square foot

so

$126(3.75)=\$472.5$

“IF YOU ARE GIVEN 2 SEGMENT LENGTHS, DESCRIBE HOW YOU WOULD FIND THE RANGE OF POSSIBLE LENGTHS OF THE THIRD SIDE?” (BEST ONE GET

Ainat [17]

Answer:

To find a range of values for the third side when given two lengths, write two inequalities: one inequality that assumes the larger value given is the longest side in the triangle and one inequality that assumes that the third side is the longest side in the triangle. Combine the two inequalities for the final answer.

Suppose John has a torn tendon and is facing surgery to repair it. The surgeon explains the risks to John: infection occurs in 2

serg [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of operations prepared by the surgeon is X.

The questions can be solved by set

For two sets A and B,

Where A= The surgery done with infections

B= Surgery done which failed

n(AᴜB) is the number of elements present in either of the sets A or B.

n(A∩B) is the number of elements present in both the sets A and B.

Y= number of surgery which succeed and are free from infection

n(AᴜB) = n(A) + (n(B) – n(A∩B) + Y

X= 2% of X + 12% of X -1.35% of x + Y

X=0.02X+0.12X-0.0135X+Y

X=0.1265X+Y

Y=X-0.1265X

Y=0.8735X

Therefore the operation s that succeed and are free from infections is 0.8735 or 87.35%
