For every meter there are 3.281 feet. The perimeter of the yard is 188ft. Divide 188 by 3.281 and you get 57.3 (rounded to 1dp). Round that<em> up</em> to the nearest meter and you get 58. So, Mr Smith needs 58 meters of fencing for his yard.
Answer:
Square
Step-by-step explanation:
The only possible cross section of the cylinder is a circle or a rectangle. I mean, depending on how tall it is.
The answer comes out to be X= -2
This whole problem rests on one thing:
Do you know the formula for the volume of this kind of shape ?
If you do, then the problem is easy. If you don't, then it's impossible.
This is the shape of a book, an ice cube, a brick, or a slab.
The volume is always
(length) x (width) x (height) (in any order) .
They all have to be in the same unit, and then the volume
is in the cubic-(...) of that unit.
In this picture, there's a tiny hiccup with the units ... the length and
the width are in meters, but the height is in centimeters, so you need
to change that one to meters before you can multiply them.
Notice right above the picture, it reminds you that
(1 meter = 100 centimeters) .
So the height of the slab (10 cm) is the same as 0.1 meter.
Now you have all 3 of the dimensions in meters, so you're
ready to multiply them and get the volume.
Volume = (length) x (width) x (height)
= ( 8 m ) x ( 6 m ) x ( 0.1 m )
= 4.8 cubic meters .
Question:
Does Meg have enough concrete to make the slab
with the dimensions shown ?
Answer: Yes .
Explanation:
Meg mixed 5 cubic meters of concrete.
She needs 4.8 cubic meters to pour the floor with those dimensions.
She has enough concrete to do the job.
All she needs is the whole football team to come over and help her
pour, smooth, and finish it. Concrete is hard hard work !
