She says that the coffee cup fountain actually holds about 400 gallons of coffee.
The newscaster claims that if the coffee fountain really broke, the 400 gallons of coffee would cover the
equivalent of half a city block.
You look up some information.
• One gallon of water covers about 13.8 square feet.
• Near the mall, an average city block is about 300 feet by 300 feet.
Assume the fountain holds 400 gallons of coffee. Using the information given, determine whether the

Answer 2

Since the area 400 gallons will cover, 5520 square feet is less than the area of half a city block which is 45000 square feet, the Newscasters claim is wrong.

What is the area of the city block?

The area of the city block is calculated from the product of the dimensions provided:

The city block is in form of a square, hence it's area = side × side

Dimension of city block = 300 feet by 300 feet.

Area of city block = 90000 square feet

Half of area of city block = 45000 square feet

1 gallon covers 13.8 square feet

400 gallons will cover = 400 × 13.8 = 5520 square feet

The area 400 gallons of coffee will cover is less than 45000 square feet.

Therefore, the news caster's claim is wrong.

B = 3x

A = 15 - 11

A = 4

Tri = (4 x 3x) / 2

Tri = 12x / 2

Tri = 6x

All = Rect + Tri

All = 6x + 60x

All = 66x

(I promise it's right this time)

Answer:

66x

Step-by-step explanation:

Separate the shape into a rectangle and a triangle.

Dimension of the rectangle:

length = 15width = 4x

Dimension of the triangle:

base = (15 - 11) = 4height = (7x - 4x) = 3x

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × width

Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

                 = (15 × 4x) + (1/2 × 4 × 3x)

                 = 60x + 6x

B. Price of Buying:

Answers

Using simple interest, it is found that the prices are as follows:

A. $10,200.

B. $12,614.58.

Simple Interest

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of money after t years in is modeled by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)[/tex]

In which:

A(0) is the initial amount.r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

Item a:

$850 for 12 months, hence the yearly cost is:

P = 850 x 12 = $10,200.

Item b:

The total cost is found using simple interest with A(0) = 175000, t = 30, r = 0.03875, hence:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + rt)

A(30) = 175000[1 + 0.03875(30)]

A(30) = 378437.5.

The yearly cost is given by:

378437.5/30 = $12,614.58.

Since g is 118 degrees we can find h. The angle of a line is 180 degrees. This means that we can do 180-118 to find h. h=62 degrees.
