Answer:

140 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

let s == small box

m = medium box

= large box

the following 3 equations can be derived from the question

s + m = 20 equation 1

m + l = 28  equation 2

l + s = 24  equation 3

make m the subject of the formula in equation 1 and 2

m = 20 - s  equation 4

m = 28 - l  equation 5

equate equation 4 and 5

20 - s = 28 - l

l - s = 8  equation 6

solve equation 3 and 6 using simultaneous equation

l + s = 24  equation 3

l - s = 8  equation 6

subtract equation 6 from 3

2s = 16

s = 8

substitute for s in equation 1

8 + m = 20

m = 12

substitute for m in equation 2

12 + l = 28

l = 16

total weight = (4 x 8) + (5 x 12) + (16 x 3) = 140 pounds

The field inside a running track is made up of a rectangle that is 84.39 m long and 73 m wide, together with a half-circle at ea
ioda

Answer:

The distance around the inside is 199.44 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length = 84.39 m

Width = 9.76 m

Suppose, all the way around and 73 m wide.

We know that,

Perimeter of half circle is

perimeter = \pi r

We need to calculate the inner radius of the circle

Using formula of radius

r=\dfrac{D}{2}

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{9.76}{2}

r=4.88\ m

We need to calculate the distance around the inside

Using formula of distance

Distance around the inside= two inner perimeter of the circle+two length of rectangle

D=2\pi r+2l

Put the value into the formula

D=2\pi\times4.88+2\times84.39

D=199.44\ m

Hence, The distance around the inside is 199.44 m.
