Answer:
Check below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Check the rectangle below with a line k, the axis of rotation in the center of the figure.
2) Since it has a perimeter of 32 units and it is to be rotated about the line, the solid to be created it is a cylinder. As you can see below.
3) Let's calculate its radius, based on the information given, i.e. the perimeter:
Since the line of rotation is the center, and the radius is half the line segment of the basis, then the radius is 5.
Answer:
The rug should be 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached a figure that represents the situation.
The the rug is by
, the width of the strip of floor is
.
We are told that Cynthia can only afford 420 square feet of carpeting; therefore, it must be that
<em>(this says the area of the rug must be 420 square feet)</em>
From the figure we see that
Therefore,
We expand this equation and get:
using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:
since the second solution, namely , is larger than one of the dimensions of the room (is greater than 19 ft) it cannot be the width of the strip; therefore, we take
to be our solution.
Now we find the dimensions of the rug:
The rug is 15 ft wide and 28 ft long.
