1. Employees of a landscaping company built a retaining wall with area 23(3/8) sq ft. They used brick to make the top portion of

the wall, which is 8(1/2) feet. What is the total height of the wall? Write an equation to represent the situation. Then solve. Part 2: If the area of the brick portion of the wall is 15(7/12), what fraction of the wall is brick? Write an equation to show your work.

Answer:

a. h = A/w = 2 ³/₄ ft

b. A'/A = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a. What is the total height of the wall? Write an equation to represent the situation. Then solve.

The wall is a rectangle and its area is A = wh where w = width and h = height of wall.

Making h subject of the formula,

h = A/w

Now, Since the area of the retaining wall, A is 23 ³/₈ ft² and its width is the length of the portion of the wall which is brick w is 8 ¹/₂ ft, then

h = A/w

= 23 ³/₈ ft² ÷ 8 ¹/₂ ft

= 187/8 ft² ÷ 17/2 ft

= 187/8 ft² × 2/17 ft

= 187/4 ft² × 1/17 ft

= 187/68 ft

= 2 ³/₄ ft

b. If the area of the brick portion of the wall is 15(7/12), what fraction of the wall is brick? Write an equation to show your work.

Since the area of the brick portion of the wall is A' = 15 ⁷/₁₂ ft²  and the total are of the retaining wall is A =  23 ³/₈ ft²

The fraction of the wall that is brick = A'/A

= 15 ⁷/₁₂ ft² ÷ 23 ³/₈ ft²

= 187/12 ÷ 187/8

= 187/12 × 8/187

= 8/12

= 2/3

Answer:

B. 225 π sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

the diameter of circle = √18²+24²

=√324+576=√900 = 30

the radius = ½×30=15

the area of circle =

π × 15² = π × 225 = 225 π sq. units

The length of a rectangle is 5 in longer than its width.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Length = 21

Width = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for perimeter is:

P=2W+2L

And we also know that:

L=W+5

So then we put all that we know in the formula:

74=2W+2(W+5)

Now we expand the brackets and do some algebra:

74=4W+10 (-10)

64=4W (÷4)

16=W

Now that we know the width we can pop that into the length equation:

L=16+5

L=21
