**** query 9.3.12 area of parallelogram **** What is the area of the given parallelogram and how did you obtain it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

4*2.5 = 10 in.^2

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:16:25

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is

A = bh ( area = base times height)

From the figure the base is 4 and the altitude is 2.5 so we have

A = 4 * 2.5 = 10.

The area is 10 in.

ok

**** query 9.3.18 area of trapezoid **** What is the area of the given trapezoid and how did you obtain it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.5(3)(4+5) = 13.5 cm^2

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:17:07

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h ( b + B )

h = 3, b = 4, B = 5

A = 1/2 (3) (4 + 5)

A = 1/2 (3) (9)

A = 1/2 (27)

A = 13.5

The area is 13.5

**** query 9.3.24 dim of rect with lgth 20 more than wdth and perimeter 176 **** What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

176 = 2w + 2(w + 20)

176 = 4w + 40

136 = 4w

w = 34 in.

(34) + 20 = 54

l = 54 in.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:19:41

** The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where l and w are length and width.

From the given information

Length = 20 + w

Perimeter = 176

This gives us the equation

176 = 2 (20 + w) + 2w

which we proceed to solve for w:

176 = 40 + 2w + 2w by the Distributive Law. Simplifying we get

176 = 40 + 4w

Subtract 40 from both sides to get

136 = 4w

Divide both sides by 4 to get

w = 34

l = w + 20 so

l = 34 + 20 = 54

We have

Length = 54 and

Width = 34

Checking, we have perimeter = 2 * length + 2 * width so we should have

176 = 2(54) + 2(34).

The right-hand side does give us 176 so the solution checks out. **

**** query 9.3.48 trap bases x, x+4 alt 3 area 30 **** What is the value of x?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.5(3)[(x) + (x +4)]

.5*3(2x + 4)

1.5(2x + 4)

3x + 6 = 30

x = 8

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:22:53

The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2h ( b + B). We have

A = 30

h = 3

B = x + 4

b = x

30 = 1/2(3) ( x + x+4)

30 = 1.5 ( x+x+4)

30 = 1.5x + 1.5x + 6

30 = 3x + 6 Subtract 6 from both sides

24 = 3x Divide both sides by 3

x = 8

The answer is 8.

**** query 9.3.54 $60 to paint ceiling of 9 x 15 rm, how much to paint if dimensions 18 x 30 **** What is the cost for the second ceiling? **** How did you use the results of exercise 53 to obtain your result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

9*15 = 135

18*30 = 540

540/135 = 4

4*60 = $240

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:24:35

The sides doubled from 9 ft. to 18 ft. and from 15 ft. to 30 ft. When the sides are doubled the area increases by a factor of 4. So the cost is

$60 * 4 = $240

The cost for the second ceiling is $240

ok

**** query 9.3.60 triangle alt 9 on top of 10 x 4 rect; parallelogram alt 3 under **** What is the area of the given figure and how did you obtain your result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

** Here's a solution by a student from a previous semester:

I found the area of each figure and then added those three results together.

Area of Triangle = 1/2bh

A = 1/2 (10) (9)

A = 1/2 (90)

A = 45

Area of Rectangle = lw

A = (10) (4)

A = 40

Area of Parallelogram = bh

A = (10) (3)

A = 30

45 + 40 + 30 = 115

Area = 115 **

**** query 9.3.67 26 m diam circle inscribed in sq; area outside circle **** What is the area of the shaded region and how did you obtain it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

26^2 = 676

676 - (13^2*pi) = 145.34 m^2

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:28:47

** The circle has diameter 26 m so its radius is 13 m and its area is

A = pi r^2 = pi * (13 m)^2 = 169 pi m^2 = 531 m^2.

The area of the square is the square of its side

A = (26 m)^2 = 676 m^2.

The area of the shaded region is the difference

}

676 m^2 - 531 m^2 = 145 m^2. **

**** query 9.3.72 10, 12, 14 in pizzas for 11.99, 13.99, 14.99 **** Which pizza is the best buy and how did you

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

14-in. for 14.99

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:30:13

obtain your result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

ok

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:30:19

Student Solution: The thickness is about the same for all three pizzas so the amount of pizza can be measured by its area. I therefore found the area of each.

A = 3.14 * r^2 and radius is 1/2 the circumference. So we get areas

A = 3.14 (5)^2 = 78.5

A = 3.14 (6)^2 = 113.04

A = 3.14 (7)^2 = 153.86

I then divide the prices and these answers to get the price per square inch.

$11.99 / 78.5 = 15.3

$13.99 / 113.04 = 12.4

$14.99 / 153.86 = 9.7

Since 9.7 is the least, and since this is the result for the 14 inch pizza, the 14 in. pizza for $14.99 is the best buy.
