This is because Andrea converted the Percentage wrong.
to Convert a Percent to a Decimal, she should have divided by 100
so 5 divided by 100 = 0.05 [not 0.5]
Andrea should have multiplied 300 by 0.05 instead to get the right answer
quickly finding 10% of a number means to simply move the decimal to the left one place
so 10% of 300 is 30
since 5% is half of 10%
half of 30 is 15
and so 5% of 300 is 15
Answer:
100 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use 3 for π, then the factors of 3 cancel in the formula for volume, and you have ...
V = r²h
The radius is half the diameter, so is (10 cm)/2 = 5 cm. Filling in the given values, you find the volume to be ...
V = (5 cm)²(4 cm) = 100 cm³
1)
Break up the irregular shape into two rectangles
12 * 4.5 = 54
2 * 5 = 10
54 + 10 = 64 cm^2
2)
Break up the irregular shape into a triangle and rectangle
24 * 8 = 192
To get the base of the triangle:
24 - 6 - 6 = 12
To get the height of the triangle:
16 - 8 = 8
1/2(12 * 8) = 48
192 + 48 = 240 yd^2
3)
Separate into triangle and semi circle
To get the base: 8 * 2 = 16
1/2(15 * 16) = 120
(pi (8)^2)/2 = 100.5
120 + 100.5 = 220.5 cm^2
4)
Separate half circle from rectangle
(pi (7.5)^2)/2 = 88.4
7 * 15 = 105
88.4 + 105 = 193.4 m^2
5)
Separate triangle from trapezoid
2.8 * 7 = 19.6
(7+9/2)(3.6) = 28.8
19.6 + 28.8 = 48.4 ft^2
6)
Separate semi circle from trapezoid
(pi(3)^2)/2 = 6.3
(6+10/2)(8) = 64
6.3 + 64 = 70.3 yd^2
