(a) Write an expression for the length in terms of the width.
(b) Use these expressions to write an inequality based on the given information.
(c) Solve the inequality, clearly indicating the width of the rectangle
Mr. Jackson wants to build a pool in his backyard. He plans to put a safety fence around the rectangular pool area that has an area of 400 square feet. He wants to use as little fence material as possible.
What are the dimensions Mr. Jackson should use for his rectangular pool area?
A.
Make a list.
Create a list of all possible whole-number combinations of length and width that would equal an area of 400 square feet. Then start calculating the perimeter of each rectangle. Look for a pattern to decrease the number of calculations you have to make.
B.
Write a number sentence.
Use a number sentence to calculate the area of a rectangle. Use guess and check to find two numbers that when multiplied will give a product of 400.
C.
Use objects.
Arrange 400 square tiles in different patterns until you get a rectangular shape. Count the number of tiles on the perimeter of the shape.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is given by ...
V = Bh . . . . . where B is the base area and h is the height
The volume of a pyramid or cone is given by ...
V = (1/3)Bh . . . . . where B is the base area and h is the height
The area of a square of side length s is ...
A = s²
The area of a circle of radius r is ...
A = πr²
___
Using these formulas, the volumes of these objects are ...
cylinder: (9π in²)(10 in) = 90π in³
square pyramid: (1/3)(4 in)²(7 in) = 37 1/3 in³
cone: (1/3)(π(2.5 in)²)(6 in) = 12.5π in³ . . . . slightly larger than the pyramid
Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
450 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the shape as a complete rectangular
The area of the rectangular shape would be 25×30 = 750 square feet
Now find the area of the missing space and subtract it from 750
it would be 15×20 = 300 square feet
750 - 300 = 450 square feet
