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

Divide 30 by it's half, add the half of 18 that has been divided by the half of the half of 12 after been divided by half.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

We want to divide 30 by it's half.

The half of 30 is 30/2 = 15

then we have: 30/15 = 2

Now we want to add the half of 18, that has ben divided by the half of the half of 12 hafter been divided by half.

The half of 12 is 12/2 =  6

the half of the half of 12 is 6/2 = 3

now, we wanto to divide the half of 18 by that number.

The half of 18 is 18/2 = 9

then we have 9/3 = 3

and we wanted to add this to the number previous found:

2 + 3 = 5

It takes 8 hours for 4 men to paint a room.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportion to solve the problem given, but first we need to determine whether it is a direct or indirect proportion.

If the number of men are increase, the time taken to do the work will decrease, If the number of men are decrease, the time taken to do the work will increase. Therefore, this is an indirect proportion.

We are going to arrange the data inversely.

Let x be the number of men needed to paint the room in two hours

8 hours =  2 hours

    x        = 4 men

Cross-multiply

2×x = 8×4

2x = 32

Divide both-side of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 32/2

x = 16 men

16 men would be needed to paint the room in 2 hours

Write two decimals one repeating and one terminating with the values between 0 and 1
weqwewe [10]

A repeating decimal is one that essentially goes on forever. A terminating decimal is one that has an end, therefore a definite value.

The fraction 1/3 is a repeating decimal, because when you divide 1 by 3, you get .333333 (to infinity). To show that something is repeating, draw a bar (or line) above the number that is repeating, in this case, 3.

The fraction 1/4 is a terminating decimal. Like the one above, when you divide 1 by 4, you get a fraction. In this case, it is .25, which does not repeat.

The fractions are there just to show you how you could get to either, but your terminating decimal is .25, and your repeating decimal is .3 (but with a line over the 3 if possible).

Question 2<br> What is the LATERAL SURFACE AREA of this cylinder?
erastova [34]

The lateral surface area is the area of the side thing, not the 2 circles.

If we imagine to stretch the side out, we can get a rectangle with base the circumference to the base circle, and height of 9 inches.

Therefore this area is pi*8*9=72π
