Question

Herbert has three lawn-mowing jobs. One lawn is shaped like a trapezoid,

Answer 1

Answer:

4.125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Trapezoid shaped lawn :

Bases : 90 ; 126 ; height = 90

Area of trapezium = 1/2(a+b) h ; a and B are the bases and h = height

Area of trapezium = 1/2(90 + 126) * 75

Area = 108 * 90 = 8100 feets

Triangular lawn :

Height = 80 feets ; Base = 105 feets

Area of triangle = 1/2 base * height

Area = 1/2 * 80 * 105 = 4200 feets

Rectangular lawn :

Length = 120 feets ; width = 90 feets

Area of rectangle = Length * width

Area = 120 * 90 = 10800 feet²

Area of all 3 lawns = (8100 + 4200 + 10800) = 23100

In 2 hours ; Herbert can now (160 * 70) = 11200 feets

23100 / 11200 = 2.0625

Tine required to mow all three lawns :

2 hours * 2.0625 = 4.125 hours

= 4 hours, 7 minutes, 30 seconds
