To estimate the number of bricks needed to build a wall, first measure a single brick.
A wall built from brick not only adds security and strength to your property, it also provides a pleasing geometric backdrop for the landscaping. Because of the bricks' size and weight, homeowners generally arrange to have the amount needed for a large project delivered by the masonry company or lumberyard. Doing so requires that you estimate the number of bricks needed before placing the order.
Step 1
Measure the length and thickness of one of the bricks that will be used in the wall. A standard brick is 2-1/4 inches wide and 7-1/2 to 8 inches long. Add 1/2 inch to both the length and thickness to account for the mortar joint between adjacent bricks. For example, a brick that is 2-1/4 inches by 7-1/2 inches, plus mortar joints, will occupy 2 3/4 inches by 8 inches.
Step 2
Measure the length of the space for the wall and convert the number to inches. Divide the length in inches by the length of a brick plus mortar joint. For example, a wall 36 feet, 8 inches long is 440 inches long (36 X 12 = 432 + 8 = 440). Each course (single layer) of bricks will need 440 / 8 = 55 bricks.

Doing so requires that you estimate the number of bricks needed before placing the orderStep 3
Determine the desired height of the wall in inches, and divide the height by the thickness of a brick and mortar joint. For example, a wall 72 inches tall requires 26.18 courses of 2-3/4-inch-wide bricks; rounded up to 27 courses.
Step 4
Multiply the number of bricks per course (55) by the number of courses (27) to obtain the number of bricks in a single-thickness wall or veneer. For our example, the number is 1,485 bricks. Double that number for a double-thickness wall. Bricklayers generally add 5 percent to the estimate to cover broken or wasted bricks, for about 1,560 bricks in this case

the All-star appliance shop sold 10 refrigerators, 8 ranges, 12 freezers, 12 washing machines, and 8 clothes dryers during January. Freezers made up what part of the appliances sold in January?
Answer:
Freezers made up [tex]\frac{6}{25}[/tex] = 24% of the appliances sold in January.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:
10 + 8 + 12 + 12 + 8 = 50 parts were sold in January.
Freezers made up what part of the appliances sold in January?
12 of those were freezers, so:
[tex]\frac{12}{50} = \frac{6}{25} = 0.24[/tex]
Freezers made up [tex]\frac{6}{25}[/tex] = 24% of the appliances sold in January.

A. True
B. False
SUBMIT
Answer:
A. TRUE
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if two triangles are congruent, we need to establish the facts that the three angles and three side lengths of one is congruent to corresponding angles and side lengths of the other triangle.
The diagram given only tells us the angle measure of the two triangles which are congruent to each other. The side length wasn't given. Therefore, the triangles may not be congruent.
If the smallest angle of a triangle is 20° and it is included between sides of 4 and 7, then (to the nearest tenth) the smallest side of the triangle is _____.
Answer:
[tex]3.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The smallest side of a triangle is formed by the smallest angle in the triangle.
To find the side opposite (formed by) the 20 degree angle, we can use the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle, [tex]c^2=a^2+b^2-ab\cos \gamma[/tex], where [tex]a[/tex], [tex]b[/tex], and [tex]c[/tex] are the three sides of the triangle and [tex]\gamma[/tex] is the angle opposite to [tex]c[/tex].
Let [tex]c[/tex] be the side opposite to the 20 degree angle.
Assign variables:
[tex]a\implies 4[/tex] [tex]b\implies 7[/tex] [tex]\gamma \implies 20^{\circ}[/tex]Substituting these variables, we get:
[tex]c^2=4^2+7^2-2(4)(7)\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=16+49-56\cos 20^{\circ},\\c^2=12.377213236,\\c=\sqrt{12.377213236}=3.51812638147\approx \boxed{3.5}[/tex]
Therefore, the shortest side of this triangle is 3.5.
Decide which of the two given prices is the better deal and explain why.
You can buy shampoo in a 5-ounce bottle for 3,89$ or in a 14-ounce bottle for 11,99$.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A.The -ounce bottle is the better deal because the cost per ounce is $
nothing per ounce while the -ounce bottle is $
nothing per ounce.
B.The -ounce bottle is the better deal because the cost per ounce is $
nothing per ounce while the -ounce bottle is $
nothing per ounce.
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
Answer:
The 14-ounce bottle is the better deal
Step-by-step explanation:
I know this beause inorder to figure out which one is better you have to make them the same price and then see which bottle has more ounces. So I made each price 1$ so there is 1.58-ounces per dollar in the 5-ounce bottle and 1.17 -ounces per dollar in the 14-ounce bottle.

We are throwing darts on a disk-shaped board of radius 5. We assume that the proposition of the dart is a uniformly chosen point in the disk. The board has a disk-shaped bullseye with radius 1. Suppose that we throw a dart 2000 times at the board. Estimate the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times.
Answer:
the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Binomial distribution
We find the probability of hitting the dart on the disk
⇒ Area of small disk / Area of bigger disk
⇒ πR₁² / πR₂²
given that; disk-shaped board of radius R² = 5, disk-shaped bullseye with radius R₁ = 1
so we substitute
⇒ π(1)² / π(5)² = π/π25 = 1/25 = 0.04
Since we have to hit the disk 2000 times, we represent the number of times the smaller disk ( BULLSEYE ) will be hit by X.
so
X ~ Bin( 2000, 0.04 )
n = 2000
p = 0.04
np = 2000 × 0.04 = 80
Using central limit theorem;
X ~ N( np, np( 1 - p ) )
we substitute
X ~ N( 80, 80( 1 - 0.04 ) )
X ~ N( 80, 80( 0.96 ) )
X ~ N( 80, 76.8 )
So, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times, P( X ≥ 100 ) will be;
we covert to standard normal variable
⇒ P( X ≥ [tex]\frac{100-80}{\sqrt{76.8} }[/tex] )
⇒ P( X ≥ 2.28217 )
From standard normal distribution table
P( X ≥ 2.28217 ) = 0.0113
Therefore, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113
A hypothesis will be used to test that a population mean equals 5 against the alternative that the population mean is less than 5 with known variance σ. What is the critical value for the test statistic for the significance level of 0.010
Answer:
The critical value is [tex]Z_c = -2.327[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
A hypothesis will be used to test that a population mean equals 5 against the alternative that the population mean is less than 5
Test if the mean is less than a value, so a one-tailed hypothesis test is used.
Known variance σ.
This means that the z-distribution is used to solve this question.
What is the critical value for the test statistic for the significance level of 0.010?
Z with a p-value of 0.01, so, looking at the z-table, [tex]Z_c = -2.327[/tex]
find all missing angles in the following diagram
Step-by-step explanation:
the item angle on the left line is also 130 degrees, as these 2 equally long lines create a triangle with 2 equal sides.
the two internal angles are the complement from 130 to 180 degrees, as every straight line stands for 180 degrees.
so, 180-130 = 50 degrees.
=> both internal angles are 50 degrees.
that makes the angle at the bottom tip of the triangle the complement of both 50 degree angle to 180, because the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
so, 180 - 50 - 50 = 80 degrees.
and the outside angles of that triangle tip angle are each half of the complement of these 80 degrees to 180 (resistive to the bottom horizontal line).
180 - 80 = 100
100/2 = 50
so, both outside bottom angles are again 50 degrees.
Given the function
Calculate the following values:
f( - 1) =
f(0)
f(2)=
-1 is less than 0, so you use the first equation:
3(-1) +2 = -3+2 = -1
f(-1) = -1
For 0 use the 2nd equation:
3(0) + 4 = 0+4 = 4
f(0) = 4
For 2 use the 2nd equation:
3(2) + 4 = 6+4 = 10
f(2) = 10
A large bottle of water is leaking. The amount of ounces left in the bottle is shown in the function [tex]O(s) = 72-3s[/tex] is the amount of ounces left, and s is the number of seconds that is the water is leaking out. What is a reasonable domain and range for this function?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
D: [0, 24]
R: [0, 72]
Step-by-step explanation:
The function only makes sense for non-negative values of time or water volume. The intercepts of the function are ...
y-intercept: 72
x-intercept: 72/3 = 24
so the reasonable domain is 0 ≤ s ≤ 24,
and the corresponding range is 0 ≤ O(x) ≤ 72.
for the function f(x)=5 evaluate and simplify the expression: f (a+h)-f(a)/h
Answer:
0 is the answer assuming the whole thing is a fraction where the numerator is f(a+h)-f(a) and the denominator is h.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the expression for f is really a constant, then the difference quotient will lead to an answer of 0.
If the extra for f is linear (including constant expressions), the difference quotient will be the slope of the expression.
However, let's go about it long way for fun.
If f(x)=5, then f(a)=5.
If f(x)=5, then f(a+h)=5.
If f(a)=5 and f(a+h)=5, then f(a+h)-f(a)=0.
If f(a+h)-f(a)=0, then [f(a+h)-f(a)]/h=0/h=0.

On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour. Let X be the number of arrivals per hour on a weekend night at this hospital. Assume that successive arrivals are random and independent. What is the probability P(X < 3)?
Answer:
P(X < 3) = 0.14254
Step-by-step explanation:
We have only the mean, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.
Poisson distribution:
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
On weekend nights, a large urban hospital has an average of 4.8 emergency arrivals per hour.
This means that [tex]\mu = 4.8[/tex]
What is the probability P(X < 3)?
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.00823[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.03950[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4.8}*4.8^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.09481[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.00823 + 0.03950 + 0.09481 = 0.14254[/tex]
P(X < 3) = 0.14254

angle P and angle Q are complementary. The measure of angle Q is 33.5°. What is the measure of angle P?
Answer:
56.5 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Because complementary angles are when their sum is 90, you get the equation:
P + Q = 90
Since Q is 33.5,
P + 33.5 = 90
Subtracting 33.5 from both sides,
P = 56.5
