Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l -> length

b -> width

h -> height

Find the area of four walls and ceiling. then subtract the area of four windows and a door form that area.

Area of four walls + <u>ceiling</u> = 2( lh + bh) +<u>lb</u>

= 2*(20*5 + 15*5) + 20*15

= 2( 100 + 75) + 300

= 2* 175 + 300

= 350 +300

= 650 sq m

Area of window = 2 *3 = 6 sq.m

Area of four windows = 4*6 = 24 sq.m

Area of door = 2 * 1 = 2 sq.m

Area of four walls excluding 4 windows and door = 650 - 24 - 2 = 624 sq.m

Cost of painting = 624 * 6.50

= $ 4056

Find the coordinates of the vertex of the following parabola algebraically. Write your answer as an (x,y)(x,y) point.

Serga [27]

Answer:

(8,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parabola is

$y = - 3 {x}^{2} + 48x - 195$

We factor -3 from the first two terms to get:

$y = - 3( {x}^{2} - 16x) - 195$

Add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of x

$y = - 3( {x}^{2} - 16x + 64) + 3 \times 64- 195$

$y = - 3 {(x - 8)}^{2} + 192 - 195$

We simplify to get:

$y = - 3 {(x - 8)}^{2} - 3$

We compare this to y=a(x-h)²+k,

The vertex is (h,k)=(8,-3)

What is the standard form of the equation of a circle whose diameter is 20 units and whose center is (−1,7)?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$(x + 1)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 100$

Step-by-sep explanation:

Given:

Diameter of circle = 20 units

Center of circle = (-1, 7)

Standard form of the equation of a circle is expressed in the center-radius form as:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$ ,

Where,

h = -1

k = 7

r = ½ of diameter = ½(20) = 10 units

Plug in the values into the equation

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

$(x - (-1))^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 10^2$

$(x + 1)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 100$
