Find the area and perimeter of each composite figure use 3.14 for pi round your answer to the nearest 10th
Ad libitum [116K]

1. Perimeter is 3 + 3 +3 +4 +5 = 18 feet

  Area = 3*3 = 9, 1/2*3*4 = 6, 9 + 6 =15 square feet

2. perimeter = 2.5 +2.5+ 2.5+2.5+0.5+0.5 = 11 meters

   Area = 3*.5 = 1.5, 3*2=6,  6+1.5 = 7.5 square meters

3. perimeter = 3.14*2*3 = 18.84 +8 = 26.8 inches

   Area = 6*4 = 24 + 3.14*3^2 = 28.26 = 28.26 +24 = 52.3 inches

4. surface area = 2*π*6*20+2*π*6^2= 980.2 yards

Volume = π*6^2*20 = 2261.9 cubic yards

5.surface area = 2*(9*7+2*2+2*9) = 190 cm

 Volume = 2*7*9 = 126 cubic cm

6. surface area = <span>2*(11*11+11*11+11*11) = 726 mm</span>

<span>  Volume = 11 *11*11 = 1331 cubic cm</span>

Eddi Din [679]

Answer: Choice C

0 \le d \le 2

Graph with filled in circles at d = 0 and d = 2, shading in between

==========================================

Explanation:

d = amount downloaded in gigabytes

The smallest amount is d = 0. We cannot download a negative amount of data, so this is why d = 0 is the smallest.

The largest amount allowed is d = 2. This is the cap that the ISP has set up.

So basically d can be anything between d = 0 and d = 2, including both endpoints. This means 0 \le d \le 2

We use filled in circles for both endpoints to show to the reader "include these endpoints". Shading is done in between to show the entire solution set of possible d values. For instance d = 1 is in that region so it is possible to have this solution. Something like d = 4 is outside the region and not possible.

A jar is filled up with buttons of various colors. Of the jar has a total of 875 buttons and 52% of buttons are green, how many
laiz [17]
Since 52% is the same as 52/100, we can multiply 875 by 52/100 in order to find the green buttons. 
52/100(875) = 455 
455 green marbles
