A deck company wants to build uniquely shaped decks. How many square feet of wood would the company need to cover the deck designed below shaped like a regular pentagon and a trapezoid? The height of the trapezoid is 4.5ft. Round your answer to one decimal place. Hint: To find the area of the pentagon, divide it into 5 similar triangles. Use the fact that the radius of the pentagon (the distance from each vertex to the center) is 4.25ft.

To find the amount of wood decking needed, we calculate the area of the pentagon and the trapezoid, and add the two areas together. The area of the pentagon can be broken up into 5 similar triangles. To find the area of each triangle, first find the apothem, or the distance from the center of the pentagon to the midpoint of each side. This is the height of each triangle. h2+2.52hh=4.252=4.252−2.52‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√≈3.44 The area of one triangle is, A=12×b×h=12×5×3.44=8.6 Now we will multiply the area of one triangle by 5 to calculate the total area of the pentagon. A=8.6×5=43 ft2 The area of the trapezoid is, A=a+b2×h=5+82×4.5=29.25 ft2 Adding the two areas together, A=43+29.25=72.25 ft2 Rounded to one decimal place, the total square feet of wood decking needed is 72.3.

The sides of the figure below measure 11, 22, and 27 meters. Find the perimeter. Do not include units in your answer.

Find the area of the shaded region in the figure below if the radius of the outer circle is 8 and the radius of the inner circle is 2. Keep your answer in terms of π. A diagram of two concentric circles. The outer circle has radius 8, and the inner circle has radius 2. The outer region of the circle is shaded.

We are asked to find the area of the shaded region which is an outer ring within two concentric circles. To find the area, we need to find the area of the larger circle then subtract the area of the smaller circle. Remember that the area of a circle is πr2. The area of the larger circle has a radius of 8. So it's area is A=π(8)2=64π. The smaller circle has a radius of 2. So it's area is A=π(2)2=4π. Subtracting the area of the smaller circle from the area of the larger circle, we get: 64π−4π=60π So the area of the shaded region is 60π.

Divide: (−48)÷(6)

Vicky works in retail. Her annual gross salary is $24,000. From this, she must pay 15% income tax. In addition, she must repay a loan at a rate of $120 per month. The loan amount is taken out of her post-tax pay (i.e. after the tax has been calculated). What is Vicky's take home pay per month? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$1,580. Vicky's monthly pay is $24,000/12=$2,000 per month. Her monthly income tax is Income Tax=$2,000×15%=$2,000×15/100=$300, so Vicky's post-tax salary is $2,000−$300=$1,700. From this amount, Vicky must repay the loan, and therefore her take home pay is Take Home Pay=$1,700−$120=$1,580.

Mary visits the local coffee shop to use the WiFi for school projects. Mary has an English book review to write, a social studies paper, and a science presentation to complete. She first arrives and orders a coffee at $2.15 and tips 5% at the counter. Two hours later, she finishes her English review and waitress stops by. Mary decides to order a latte at $4.50, but doesn't tip. Over the next hour, the waitress returns and Mary orders another coffee and leaves a 15% tip for both the latte and coffee. An hour later, Mary completes all of her projects and leaves. What is the total tip Mary left at the coffee shop? Round the price to the nearest hundredth. Do not include $ in your answer. For example, if the price is $19.546, enter 19.55.

$1.11 1. Following Polya's four-step procedure, we first identify the problem that needs to be solved. We are asked what is the total tip Mary left at the coffee shop. 2. Next, we plan how to solve this problem by picking out relevant information and deciding how to use it. To find what is the total tip Mary left at the coffee shop, all we need is the price of each item purchased, and the percent tip for each item amount purchased. We solve by multiplying each tip percent by the item purchased with that tip; coffee at the count was bought with a 5% tip, and a coffee and latte were later bought with a 15% tip. Then add each tip together. 3. Coffee at the counter: 2.15⋅0.05=0.1075 Latte and coffee later: (4.50+2.15)⋅0.15=6.65⋅0.15=0.9975 Tip total: 0.1075+0.9975=1.105=$1.11 4. We were asked what is the total tip Mary left at the coffee shop, which we did by picking out the relevant information and choosing an equation to use to solve.

In the image below, indicate if ∠GEI, ∠EBC, ∠GAF, and ∠BDH are either acute, obtuse, straight or right angles.

∠GEI is straight. ∠EBC is obtuse. ∠BDH is acute. ∠GAF is a right angle. ∠GEI is a straight angle because the two line segments that make up the angle sides are straight lines. Straight angles always measure 180 degrees. ∠EBC is obtuse because it is larger than a right angle. Remember, obtuse angles are angles which have measurements >90 degrees. ∠GAF is a right angle because it has a square box at its vertex. The square box indicates a right angle. ∠BDH is acute because it is smaller than a right angle. Recall that acute angles have measurements <90 degrees.

In rectangle ABCD, point E lies half way between sides AB and CD and halfway between sides AD and BC. If AB=10 and BC=5, what is the area of the shaded region? Write your answer as a decimal if necessary.

25 The shaded region is comprised of two triangles inside a rectange. By finding the area of the two triangles, we can find the area of the shaded region. We already know the base of each triangle is equal to 10, the length of sides AB and DC of the rectangle. Since point E is halfway between sides AB and DC, the height of each shaded triangle is half of the height of the rectangle: 2.50. Now we can find the area of one of the shaded triangles: A=1/2⋅b⋅h A=1/2⋅10⋅2.50 A=12.50 Now that we know the area of one triangle, we can multiply by two to get the total area of the shaded region. 12.50∗2=25.00 So the area of the shaded region is 25.00.

In the following scenario, which of Polya's four steps, if any, were not performed correctly? Select all that apply. On his algebra exam, Thomas needed to solve a word problem where he was given a map that showed the lengths of several streets and needed to find the distance between two houses on the map. He wrote down all of the information provided in the word problem and decided to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the houses. After using the Pythagorean theorem, Thomas found that the distance between the houses was 150 meters. Then he looked at the map and determined that 150 meters was a reasonable distance between the two houses, so his answer was probably correct.

All of Polya's four steps were used correctly. The first step, understand the problem, was completed when Tom wrote down the information to the problem. Devise a plan was completed when he decided to use the Pythagorean theorem. Tom completed the step entitled, carry out the plan, by finding the answer using the method from the previous step. Finally, look back was completed when Tom checked his work by confirming that his answer from the previous step was reasonable.

Rowena's monthly gasoline bill dropped from $83.75 last month to $56.95 this month. Find the percent decrease.Round your answer to the nearest percent.Do NOT round until you have calculated the final answer.

It follows that the percent decrease in Rowena's monthly gasoline bill was 32%. We are asked to find the percent decrease in Rowena's monthly gasoline bill. The amount of decrease is given by initial amount−final amount=decrease 83.75−56.95=26.8. 26.8=p*83.75 p=.32

Kathy wants to buy a camera with an original price of $389. The camera is on sale with a 33% discount. What is the amount of discount?

We are asked to find the amount of discount on Cathy's camera. The amount of discount is given by discount rate×original price=amount of discount. The discount rate is in decimal form. Since the original price was $389, and it was on sale at 33%=0.33 off, we have 0.33×389=128.37. Thus, the amount of discount on Cathy's camera was $128.37.

Sue's paycheck is $1,040 for 40 hours of work. If she works 30 hours next week, what will her paycheck be?

Find the cross products, set them equal, and simplify. 1040/40=x/30 40⋅x=1040⋅30 40x=31200 Divide both sides by 40 to isolate the variable x. x=780

One angle of a right triangle measures 25∘. What is the measure of the other acute angle? Give your answer without units.

65* We're told that the triangle is a right triangle, which means one of the angles measures 90∘. We are also told that another angle measures 25∘. To find the third angle, we can set up an equation. Since we know all angles of a triangle must add up to 180 we can write the equation as follows: 90+25+xx=180=65 So the third angle measures 65∘. We can check by making sure our three angles add up to 180. 90+25+65=180

In a local boutique, you intend to buy a handbag with original price $38, a jacket with original price $189, and a scarf with original price $23. Currently, the store is running a promotion for 30% off the entire store. In addition, as a store loyalty card member, you are entitled to an extra 10% off all sale prices. The state charges a 5% sales tax on all purchases. What is the final purchase price of the items, including all discounts and sales tax? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

First we must find the total purchase price before any discounts or sales tax is applied. The total is $38+$189+$23=$250. Next, we find the amount of the 30% discount and subtract it from our total. Discount=(30/100)×$250=$75 Sale Price=$250−$75=$175 We must now apply the additional 10% off discount. 10% Discount=(10/100)×$175=$17.50 Subtract the second discount amount from the total after the 30% discount. Total Sale Price=$175−$17.50=$157.50 Now that we have the sale price we can calculate the sales tax. Sales Tax = % Tax×Sale Price=(5/100)×$157.50=$7.88. Finally, we add the sales tax to the sale price to find the final price, Final Price = Sale Price + Sales Tax=$157.50+$7.88=$165.38

Kenneth loaned $1,200 to his niece to buy a computer. Two years later, she paid him back the $1,200 along with an interest of $96. If the interest that was collected was simple interest, what was the annual interest rate?

If an amount of money, P, called the principal, is borrowed for a period of t years at an annual interest rate r, the amount of interest, I, is given by I=PrtwhereIPrt=interest=principal=rate=time The following information is given. IPt=$96=$1,200=2 years Substituting the given information into the simple interest formula and solving for r gives I9696=Prt=(1,200)(r)(2)=2,400r Dividing both sides by 2,400 and then converting to a percent, we have r=96/2,400=0.04=4% Thus, Kenneth's annual interest rate was 4%.

While playing golf, Maurice hits the golf ball and it travels 361.87 feet. Assume the golf ball travels the same distance every time he hits it. Estimate the total amount of distance the ball will travel after 15 hits. Round the distance traveled each time the golf ball was hit to the nearest ten feet before calculating.

5400 feet Step 1. Round to numbers that are easier to calculate with. For this problem, round the amount to the nearest ten feet. The digit in the tens place in 361.87 is 6, and the digit to the right is 1. Since 1 is less than 5, do not add to the 6, and replace the digits to the right with 0. The rounded distance is 360.00 feet. Step 2. Now perform the operations. 15×360.00=5,400 The estimated distance is 5,400 feet. Since the original distance was rounded down, the estimated distance is less than the actual distance.

George paid $179.76 for a new lawn mower, after tax, and the tax rate is 7%. What was the original price of the lawn mower?

First, change the percentage to a decimal and write the equivalence of the sales tax amount. Let x be the original cost of the item. Sales tax amount =x⋅0.07 Next, substitute the value into the equation: Original Cost + Sales Tax Amount = Total Cost x+0.07x=179.76 Add like terms. 1.07x=179.76 Divide both sides by 1.07 to isolate the unknown value. x=$168 The original cost of the lawn mower was $168.

The sale price of a drum kit in the UK is 950 Pounds + VAT (Value Added Tax), where VAT is a sales tax of 20%. After some negotiation, the owner of the store agrees to give Bob a 12% discount on the drum kit. What is the total price that Bob pays, including VAT? Answer in Pounds and round your answer to the nearest pence (1 pence=1100Pound). Note: VAT is a sales tax that gets calculated before a discount is applied.

First, we calculate the original price of the kit including VAT. This is equivalent to increasing the price by 20%, or 100%+20%=120%. So the initial price of the kit including VAT is 950×120%=950×120/100=950×1.2=1,140. We now apply the discount of 12%, which is the same as 100%−12%=88%. So to get the final price, we take the price with VAT, and multiply by 88%, i.e. 1,140×88%=1,140×88/100=1140×0.88=1,003.2 which is 1,003.20, expressed in Pounds.

A financial instrument pays 8% simple interest (based on the purchase value) and matures after 3 years. The instrument can be purchased at any price. An investor purchases the instrument for P dollars, and calculated that the total value of the investment (i.e. P plus interest earned) will be $2,000 at maturity. Calculate P.Round your answer to the nearest cent.Do NOT round until you have calculated your final answer.

For this, we can use the formula A=P(1+rt). We know that A=2,000, r=8%=0.08 and t=3, so we can rearrange the formula for A to give P=A/1+rt, and substituting the known quantities gives P=2,000/1+(0.08)(3)=2,000/1.24≈$1,612.903 which is $1,612.90 to the nearest cent.

Stacy is calculating the inflation rate between 2004 and 2005. The price index in 2004 is 90. The price index in 2005 is 87. She calculates the inflation rate as 87/90∗100%. Is Stacy's calculation of the inflation rate correct?

No, the numerator should be (87 - 90). The numerator should be (Final Index - Initial Index), so here it should be (87 - 90). The denominator should be (Initial Index), so here it should be 90. To calculate the inflation rate the equation should read 87−90/90∗100%
