150 cm
He needs to build a wooden frame in the shape of the decking.
Calculate the perimeter of the decking area.

Answers

Answer 1

The perimeter of the decking area is 800cm.

How to determine the perimeter

It is important to note that the decking area takes the shape of a rectangle

The formula for determining the perimeter of the decking area is given as;

Perimeter = 2 multiplied by the sum of the length and width of the rectangle

It is mathematically written as;

Perimeter = 2 ( length + width)

Where;

length = 250cmwidth = 150 cm

Now, let's substitute the values into the formula

Perimeter = 2 ( 150 + 250)

Sum the bracket

Perimeter = 2 ( 400 )

Perimeter = 2 × 400

Perimeter = 800 cm

Thus, the perimeter of the decking area is 800cm

A car’s purchase for $27,000 after each year the resale value decreases by 35% what will the resale be after four years

Answers

The resale value of the car after four years is $4820

How to determine the resale value?

The given parameters are:

initial value, a = $27,000

Rate, r = 35%

The value of the car each year is represented as:

Value = a *(1 - r)^t

So, we have:

Value = 27000 *(1 - 35%)^t

After four years, we have:

Value = 27000 *(1 - 35%)^4

Evaluate

Value = 4820

Hence, the resale value of the car after four years is $4820

To fight a fire breathing dragon, a knight needs a sword made of Dragon Alloy #13, which contains 7% gold, 3% silver, and 90% magic steel. The dwarves promised to forge such a sword for the knight. At the moment, they have an alloy that contains magic steel, 21% gold, and 9% silver. How much of that alloy and how much magic steel do the dwarves have to combine to get 2.7 kg of Dragon Alloy #13?

Answers

Let [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] be the amounts of available alloy (AA) and pure magic steel that are used, so we also have

[tex]x + y = 2.7[/tex]

DA13 is supposed to contain 7% gold, 3% silver, and 90% steel, so that 2.7 kg of it is made up of

[tex]0.07 \times 2.7 \,\mathrm{kg} = 0.189 \,\mathrm{kg} \text{ gold}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 \times 2.7 \,\mathrm{kg} = 0.081 \,\mathrm{kg} \text{ silver}[/tex]

[tex]0.90 \times 2.7 \,\mathrm{kg} = 2.43 \,\mathrm{kg} \text{ magic steel}[/tex]

For each kg of the available alloy (AA), there is a contribution of 0.21 kg of gold, 0.09 kg of silver, and therefore 0.70 kg of steel; [tex]x[/tex] kg of it will contain [tex]0.21x[/tex] kg of gold, [tex]0.09x[/tex] kg of silver, and [tex]0.70x[/tex] kg of steel. Each kg of magic steel of course contributes 1 kg of steel; [tex]y[/tex] kg of it will contribute [tex]y[/tex] kg of steel.

Then the dwarves need

• total gold: [tex]0.21x = 0.189[/tex]

• total silver: [tex]0.09x = 0.081[/tex]

• total steel: [tex]0.70x + y = 2.43[/tex]

Solve for [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex]. The first two equations are consistent and give [tex]x = 0.90[/tex], and substituting this into the third we find [tex]y = 1.80[/tex]. So the dwarves must combine 0.90 kg of AA and 1.80 kg of magic steel.

What is the standard form equation of an ellipse that has vertices (−2,14) and (−2,−12) and co-vertices (9,1) and (−13,1)?

Answers

Answer:

 [tex]\frac{(x+2)^2}{121} + \frac{(y-1)^2}{169} = 1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we identify that the vertices are vertical.
(an image below is attached if you want to see a visualization)
Therefore, the equation is such:

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2} = 1[/tex]

(h,k) is the center of the ellipse, which we could easily calculate by finding the midpoint between any pair of vertices.

This gets us (-2, 1)

Therefore, h = -2, k = 1

Now we want to find a,

we know the length of the major axis is 2a, and in this case, our length of the major axis is 26. So a = 13

Now we want to find b,

We know the length of the minor axis is 2b, and in this case, our length is 22, so b = 11

Now we will just plug in all the values and simplify to get our answer! B)

How much wrapping paper will Olivia need to cover the pyramid?
OA. 178 square centimeters
OB. 89 square centimeters
OC. 456 square centimeters
OD. 278 square centimeters

Answers

Answer:

278 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the Pythagorean Theorm. If you're pyramid is a perfect square, then to the middle the length is 5. Because 10/2 is 5. You then use the Pythagorean Theorm  (a^2 + b^2 =c^2) to find the side length of the traingle. When you square the hypotenuse and subtract the bottom leg sqaured, you are left with 3.46274054 after square rooting it. (c^2-a^2=b^2) Plug these into the equation for a right, rectangluar pyramid. You then get 277.9, rounded, is 278.

H&S = 1,014 M; and S&B = 854m. This is resolved using the Sine Theorem.

What is the calculation backing the above solution?

Notice that the Angles of a Triangle add up to 180° That is

∠A + ∠B  + ∠C = 180°

Thus,

∠C = 180° - 32° - 109°

= 39°

Recall the Sine Theorem which indicates;

a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC

thus given that

AC = 1,523m

We have

AC/SinB = BC/SinA


BC = AC/SinB * SinA

= 1523/Sin109° * Sin32°

BC =854m

Therefore

AC/SinB = AB/SinC
Thus,

AB = AC/SinB * SinC

= 1523/Sin109° * Sin39°
AB ≈ 1,014m

2) When two dice are rolled then there will be totally 36 outcomes. Of those the outcomes with sum 8 are (2,6),(3,5),(4,4),(5,3),(6,2).

These are 5 in number.

So,P( sum =8)= 5/36.

3)This is a true statement.

4) Here win, lose, or tie is just the outcomes where their probabilities are different from each other and those values depend upon different situations.

5) Tossing a coin is a random experiment which means that the result of the experiment (ie head or tail) cannot be predicted.

Answer:

x = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that a triangle has a total angle of 180. If we look at the image closely, triangle GEH can be found, and since we know two angles, which are 40 and 80, we can find the other angle. 180 - (40+80) = 60. Angle GEH is 60 degrees.

2. If angle GEH is 60 degrees, angle EFD will also be 60 degrees, since they have the same angle side. To prove this, we can use alternate interior angles. This means that if a line crosses two parallel lines, the inner angles made have the same size.

3. Since angle EFD is x, we can find that x is equal to 60 degrees.
