A levee protects a town in a low-lying area from flooding. According to geologists, the banks of the levee are eroding (wearing

away soil) at a rate of 3 feet per year. If something isn't done to correct the problem, what signed number indicates how much of the levee (in ft) will erode during the next decade?

Answer:

The signed number that indicates how much of the levee will erode during the next decade is:

-30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Erosion rate of the banks of the levee = 3 feet per year

For 10 years, if nothing is done to correct the problem, the eroded banks will be equal to 10 * 3 = 30 feet

Therefore, the signed erosion in the next decade is -30 feet.

b) The quantity of erosion can be given as the number of years involved without correction, multiplied by the rate of erosion per year.  This implies that the quantity of erosion depends on the number of years and the rate of erosion per year.

Match each circular flower bed on the left to its circumference and its area on the right. Some answer options on ti
user100 [1]

Answer:

Flower bed A has circumference = 31 feet, area = 79 feet²

Flower bed B has circumference = 38 feet, area = 113 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets revise the rules of the circumference and the area of the circle</em>

- The circumference of the circle = 2πr

- The Area of the circle = πr²

- r is the radius of the circle and it is half the diameter of the circle

# <em>Flower bed A has a diameter 10 feet</em>

∵ The radius = 1/2 the diameter

∴ The radius = 1/2 × 10 = 5 feet

∵ The circumference = 2πr

∴ The circumference = 2 × π × 5 = 31.42 ≅ 31 feet

∵ The area = πr²

∴ The area = π (5)² = 78.54 ≅ 79 feet²

* Flower bed A has circumference = 31 feet, area = 79 feet²

# <em>Flower bed B has a radius 6 feet</em>

∵ The circumference = 2πr

∴ The circumference = 2 × π × 6 = 37.70 ≅ 38 feet

∵ The area = πr²

∴ The area = π (6)² = 113.10 ≅ 113 feet²

* Flower bed B has circumference = 38 feet, area = 113 feet²

* These answers not in the choices
