Answer:

390 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The longer base of a trapezoid is 8 ft. The longer base of a similar trapezoid is 13 ft. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 240 ft² What is the area of the larger trapezoid?

We solve the above question using proportion

(Longer base/Area of trapezoid) smaller trapezoid = (Longer base/Area of trapezoid) bigger trapezoid

Let the the Area of the bigger trapezoid = x

Hence,

= 8ft/240ft = 13ft/x ft

Cross Multiply

8ft × x = 240ft × 13ft

x = 240ft² × 12 ft/8 ft

x = 390 ft²

Use the information provided to calculate the different parts of the proposal: The lazy river is basically a large circle that w
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

10,995.6 ft^3.

2300.3 gallons.

(both to the nearest tenth).

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the surface of the river =  area of the  outer circle - area of the inner circle.

Radius of the outer circle  = 30 *3 = 90 feet.

So the surface area of the river = π(90)^2 - π(85)^2

= 875π ft^2

Also the volume of the river = surface area * depth = 875π*4 = 3500π ft^3

= 10,995.6 ft^3.

Number of gallons of water it will hold = 10,995.6 /  4.78

= 2300.3 gallons.

(05.01)A scale drawing of a living room is shown below. The scale is 1 : 40.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

A=266\frac{2}{3}\ ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is \frac{1}{40}

That means

1 unit in the drawing represent 40 units in the actual

or

1 inch in the drawing represent 40 inches in the actual

step 1

Find the actual dimensions of the living room

Multiply the dimensions of the living room in the drawing by 40

Length:\ 6(40)=240\ in

Width:\ 4(40)=160\ in

step 2

Convert inches to feet

Remember that

1\ ft=12\ in

To convert inches to feet , divide by 12

so

Length:\ 240\ in=240/12=20\ ft

Width:\ 160\ in=160/12=\frac{40}{3}\ ft

step 3

Find the area in square feet

Multiply the length by the width

A=(20)(\frac{40}{3})=\frac{800}{3}\ ft^2

Convert to mixed number

A=\frac{800}{3}\ ft^2=\frac{798}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=266\frac{2}{3}\ ft^2

Combine like terms to simplify the expression:<br><br> -7x + 3y - 2 + 6x - 1 - y2
diamong [38]
It seems that the expression is - 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x -1 - y^2

like terms:

-7x + 6x = - x

3y stands alone

-2 - 1 = -3

- y^2 stands alone

Answer: - x + 3y - 3 - y^2

[note: if the last term is not y^2 but 2y, then you have to combine +3y - 2y = y and the answer would be - x + y - 3]
