Answer: 57.1 (rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle formula: 1/2 x base x height
Area of a semicircle: 1/2 x pi x r^2
(1/2 x 8 x 8) + (1/2 x pi x 4^2)
= 57.1 (rounded)
Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Abby's dog: 1.5 cups of food
- Braxton's dog: 4.5 cups of food
Looking at the information we got, we can say that Braxton's dog eats more. Let's put them into ratio form (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog)
- => (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog) = 4.5:1.5
<u>Now, put them into fractions.</u>
We can conclude that Braxton's dog eats 3 times more food.
