Drawing this on a paper, will give you 5280 west, then 2460 north and then straight back to the start.This will give you a triangle. The way to answer this is to first compute the total square footage of the area in problem, then divide by 43,560 which is the square footage in an acre.
So putting this mathematically: 5280 x 2460 = 12988800 (total sq footage in the box) / 2 (cut it in half to get the square footage of the triangle)
= 6494400 (total square footage of triangle) /43560 (square footage in an acre
= 160 acres.
Answer:
3 < x < 7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram; |AB| = |AC|
The length AB is calculated as;
The length CD is calculated as;
|CD| = 2x - 6
2x - 6 = 7.84
2x = 7.84 + 6
2x = 13.84
x = 13.84 / 2
x = 6.92
x ≅ 7
Thus, 3 < x < 7
Answer:
The number is 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be y
1 is subtracted from the number. This can be written as:
y – 1
The difference is tripled. This can be written as:
3(y – 1)
The result of the difference tripled is 23 more than the number. This can be written as:
3(y – 1) = 23 + y
Thus, we can obtain the value of y as follow:
3(y – 1) = 23 + y
Clear bracket
3y – 3 = 23 + y
Collect like terms
3y – y = 23 + 3
2y = 26
Divide both side by 2
y = 26 / 2
y = 13
Thus, the number is 13.
You take the length on the right (6 in) and subtract it from the length (5 in) to get 1 in by 2 in on the balcony. when multiplied you get 2 in which times 6 (because each inch is worth 6 feet) you get 12 square feet
