Wally is rebuilding his fence. Each section of the fence will have 12 vertical boards that are each eight inches wide. He’s goin

g to attach them to two horizontal pieces of wood and add a diagonal piece to brace the fence section. The horizontal pieces will be five feet apart.
1.About how long should the diagonal piece of wood be?

2. If Wally plans on using 30 sections of fence, about how many feet of wood will he need for the horizontal and diagonal pieces?

Answer:

Part A)

Each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

In total, Wally needs about 736.02 feet of wood.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Since each vertical board has a width of 8 inches, for one section with 12 vertical boards, the total width will be 8(12) = 96 inches.

96 inches is the same as 96/12 = 8 feet.

We are also given that the horizontal pieces will be 5 feet apart.

To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The 8 is the base and 5 is the height. Therefore:

\displaystyle d^2=8^2+5^2

Compute:

d^2=89

Taking the square root, we acquire:

\displaystyle d=\sqrt{89}\approx9.43 \text{ feet}

So, each diagonal is about 9.43 feet.

Part B)

For each section, we have two horizontal pieces (each 8 feet) and one diagonal piece (each √89 feet).

Therefore, for one section, we will need a total of:

\displaystyle L=8+8+\sqrt{89}=16+\sqrt{89}

Then for 30 sections, we will need:

T=30(16+\sqrt{89})

Approximate:

T\approx 763. 02

Wally will need about 736.02 feet of wood in total.

If it takes 12 people 3 days to build 72 meters of fence, how many meters of fence can 15 people build in one day?
scoundrel [369]

72/3=24

24/12=2(2 meters a person a day)

2*15=30

15 people can build about 30 meters of fence a day.

A distance AB is observed repeatedly using the same equipment and procedures, and the results, in meters, are listed below: 67.4
skad [1K]

Answer:

a) \bar X =\frac{67.401+67.400+67.402+67.396+67.406+67.401+67.396+67.401+67.405+67.404}{10}=67.401

b) The sample deviation is calculated from the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And for this case after replace the values and with the sample mean already calculated we got:

s=0.0036

If we assume that the data represent a population then the standard deviation would be given by:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And then the deviation would be:

\sigma =0.00319

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset:

67.401, 67.400, 67.402, 67.396, 67.406, 67.401, 67.396, 67.401, 67.405, and 67.404

Part a: Determine the most probable value.

For this case the most probably value would be the sample mean given by this formula:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And if we replace we got:

\bar X =\frac{67.401+67.400+67.402+67.396+67.406+67.401+67.396+67.401+67.405+67.404}{10}=67.401

Part b: Determine the standard deviation

The sample deviation is calculated from the following formula:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}

And for this case after replace the values and with the sample mean already calculated we got:

s=0.0036

If we assume that the data represent a population then the standard deviation would be given by:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n}}

And then the deviation would be:

\sigma =0.00319

Solve this please with steps b^4-3b^3-10b^2
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There's no "solving" to be done because its an expression, but im assuming the question wants you to factor.

b^4-3b^3-10b^2

First, factor out a b^2

b^2(b^2-3b-10)

Factor the trinomial. What two numbers multiply to equal -10 but add to equal -3? They are -5 and +2

b^2((b-5)(b+2))
