The plan for the Thorne’s backyard play area, shaped like a trapezoid, is shown. The area of the play area is 286.56 square feet

. A border is planned around the perimeter of the play area. How many feet of material are needed for the border?

The length of material needed for the border is the perimeter of the backyard play area

<h3>How to calculate the length of material needed </h3>

The area of the play area is given as:

Area = 286.56

The area of a trapezoid is calculated using:

Area = 0.5 * (L1 + L2) * H

Where L1 and L2, are the parallel sides of the trapezoid and H represents the height.

The given parameter is not enough to solve the length of material needed.

So, we make use of the following assumed values.

Assume that the parallel sides are: 25 feet and 31 feet long, respectively.

While the other sides are 10.2 feet and 8.2 feet

The length of material needed would be the sum of the above lengths.

So, we have:

Length = 25 + 31 + 10.2 + 8.2

Length = 74.4

Using the assumed values, the length of material needed for the border is 74.4 feet

Amanda leaned a 15-foot ladder against the top of her house so she could get on the roof, which is 12 feet from the ground.
valentinak56 [21]

If you're trying to find the missing side of the "triangle" (the distance from the house to where the ladder touches the ground), you would use the pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c². (c is always hypotenuse)

a²+b²=c²

12²+b²=15²

144+b²=225

b²=81

√b²=√81

b=9

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base
kaheart [24]

Answer:

  First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

  First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

  \left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

<u>Step 1</u>

  \text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 2</u>

  \text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}

<u>Step 3</u>

  \text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}

<u>Step 4</u>

  \text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

  \left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}

__

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles. What is the speed in centimeters/minute? You may use the (appr
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Speed = 23809.52 cm/min      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A car travels at constant speed for 7 days and covers 1500 miles.

To find : What is the speed in centimeters/minute

Solution : Formula to find speed is

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

Distance traveled = 1500 miles and time taken = 7 days

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}

Now, we have to convert miles into centimeter and days into minutes.

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour= 60 minute

24 hr= 24×60 minute

1 day =  24×60 minute

7 days = 7×24×60 minute = 10,080 minute

Now, 1 mile = 8/5 km = 1.6 km

1 km= 100000 cm

1.6 km = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1 mile = 1.6 × 100000 cm

1500 miles = 1500×1.6 × 100000 cm = 240,000,000 cm

Put back the values into speed

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{1500 miles}}{\text{7 days}}

\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{240,000,000 cm}}{\text{10,080 minute}}

\text{Speed}=\text{23809.523 cm/minute}

Therefore, speed = 23809.52 cm/min
