Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $314$ feet

Cevap

The total length of the cable is

314

feet.

The length of cable unwound in one rotation is exactly equal to the circumference of the drum. Using the formula

C = \pi \times d

, the circumference is

3.14 \times 2.5 = 7.85

feet. Since the drum rotates

40

times, the total cable length is

7.85 \text{ feet/rotation} \times 40 \text{ rotations} = 314

feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the circumference of the cylindrical drum.

C = \pi \times d = 3.14 \times 2.5 = 7.85

feet.

One full rotation of the drum unwinds an amount of cable equal to the drum's circumference.

2

Multiply the circumference by the number of rotations to find the total length.

7.85 \times 40 = 314

feet.

The drum completes

40

rotations, meaning

40

lengths of the circumference are unwound.

A machinist is fabricating a circular metal part with a diameter of $12$ inches. To allow for bolts, four identical circular holes, each with a radius of $2$ inches, are cut out of the part. What is the area of the remaining metal in square inches? (Use $\pi = 3.14$ )

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 62.8

Cevap

62.8

The remaining area is found by subtracting the total area of the four smaller circular holes from the area of the large circular part. The large part has a radius of 6 inches (half of the 12-inch diameter), giving an area of 113.04 square inches. Each of the four holes has a radius of 2 inches, yielding an area of 12.56 square inches per hole, or 50.24 square inches total. Subtracting 50.24 from 113.04 leaves 62.8 square inches.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the radius of the large circular part.

Radius = 12 / 2 = 6 inches.

The area formula for a circle requires the radius, but the diameter was given.

2

Calculate the total area of the large circular part.

Area = 3.14 * 6^2 = 113.04 square inches.

This represents the total amount of metal before any holes are cut.

3

Calculate the area of one small bolt hole.

Area = 3.14 * 2^2 = 12.56 square inches.

Each hole is a smaller circle removed from the part.

4

Find the total area of all four bolt holes.

Total hole area = 12.56 * 4 = 50.24 square inches.

There are four identical holes that need to be accounted for.

5

Subtract the total hole area from the large part's area.

Remaining area = 113.04 - 50.24 = 62.8 square inches.

Subtracting the removed material gives the final remaining area of the metal part.

The perimeter represents the total outline of the garden before accounting for the gate.

3

Subtract the width of the gate opening from the total perimeter.

46 \text{ feet} - 3 \text{ feet} = 43 \text{ feet}

.

Fencing material is not needed across the opening where the wooden gate will be installed.

4

Multiply the required length of fencing by the cost per linear foot.

The total cost of the concrete required for the new walkway is \$690.80.

The correct answer is found by calculating the area of the walkway and multiplying it by the cost per square foot. First, find the radius of the fountain by halving the diameter (

20 \div 2 = 10

feet). The outer radius includes both the fountain and the walkway (

10 + 2 = 12

feet). The area of the walkway is the outer area minus the inner area:

(3.14 \times 12^2) - (3.14 \times 10^2) = 452.16 - 314 = 138.16

square feet. Finally, multiplying this area by the cost of

\$5.00

per square foot gives

\$690.80

.

. To find the time required, we must determine the total volume of the bunker in cubic yards, since the removal rate is given in cubic yards per hour. First, convert the dimensions from feet to yards by dividing by

3

: the length is

40

yards, the width is

10

yards, and the depth is

5

yards. The volume is

40 \times 10 \times 5 = 2,000

cubic yards. Dividing the total volume of

2,000

cubic yards by the rate of

200

cubic yards per hour yields

10

hours.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the bunker dimensions from feet to yards.

Length =

40

yards, Width =

10

yards, Depth =

5

yards.

The removal rate is given in cubic yards, so calculating the volume directly in cubic yards simplifies the problem.

2

Calculate the total volume of the bunker.

40 \text{ yd} \times 10 \text{ yd} \times 5 \text{ yd} = 2,000

cubic yards.

The total volume represents the amount of soil that needs to be removed.

3

Calculate the time required by dividing the volume by the removal rate.

2,000 \text{ yd}^3 \div 200 \text{ yd}^3/\text{hr} = 10

hours.

Time is equal to the total volume divided by the rate of work.

Anahtar Kavram

Converting linear dimensions to calculate volume in a specific unit, and using rates to find time.

Alternatif Yöntem

Instead of converting the linear dimensions first, you can calculate the volume in cubic feet (

120 \times 30 \times 15 = 54,000 \text{ ft}^3

), convert the removal rate to cubic feet per hour (

200 \text{ yd}^3/\text{hr} \times 27 \text{ ft}^3/\text{yd}^3 = 5,400 \text{ ft}^3/\text{hr}

), and then divide:

54,000 \div 5,400 = 10

hours.

A school is installing a new fence around a square play area. Each side of the play area measures $5$ yards. If the fencing material costs $\$0.50$ per foot, what is the total cost of the fencing required?

\$10.00

\$30.00

\$112.50

\$300.00

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $\$30.00$

Cevap

\$30.00

The correct answer is found by first ensuring the units match. Since the cost is provided per foot, convert the

5

-yard sides into feet (

5 \times 3 = 15

feet). Next, find the perimeter of the square play area (

15 \times 4 = 60

feet). Finally, multiply the

60

-foot perimeter by the

\$0.50

per foot cost to determine a total fencing cost of

\$30.00

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the side length from yards to feet.

5 \text{ yards} \times 3 = 15 \text{ feet}

The cost of fencing is given per foot, so all geometric measurements must be converted to feet before calculating the total cost.

2

Calculate the perimeter of the square play area.

4 \times 15 \text{ feet} = 60 \text{ feet}

The fence goes around the outer boundary, which is the perimeter of the square.

3

Calculate the total cost by multiplying the perimeter by the cost per foot.

60 \text{ feet} \times \$0.50/\text{foot} = \$30.00

To find the total cost, multiply the total linear feet of fencing needed by the given price per foot.

A rancher is building a fence around a rectangular grazing pasture. The pasture is $140$ feet long and $70$ feet wide. If the rancher needs to leave a $10$ -foot wide opening for a gate, how many total feet of fencing material will be required?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 410

Cevap

410 feet

To find the total amount of fencing required, you first determine the perimeter of the rectangle, which is

140 + 140 + 70 + 70 = 420

feet. Because there is a

10

-foot gate that does not require fencing, you subtract

10

from the total perimeter, leaving

410

feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total perimeter of the rectangular pasture.

2 \times (140 + 70) = 420

feet.

The fence runs along the entire outer boundary of the pasture, which requires finding the perimeter of the rectangle.

2

Subtract the gate opening from the total perimeter.

420 - 10 = 410

feet.

The

10

-foot opening for the gate does not use fencing material, so it must be subtracted from the total.

Service members are constructing a rectangular wooden planter box for a community project. The interior dimensions of the planter are $16$ feet in length and $4$ feet in width. A delivery of $128$ cubic feet of potting soil fills the planter perfectly to a level exactly $6$ inches below its top edge. What is the total interior height of the planter, in feet?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $2.5$

Cevap

The total interior height of the planter is

2.5

feet.

To find the total height, first determine the height of the soil. Since Volume = Length × Width × Height, the soil height is

128 \div (16 \times 4) = 2

feet. The problem states there is a

6

-inch gap at the top. Converting

6

inches to feet gives

0.5

feet. Adding the soil height and the gap gives a total interior height of

2 + 0.5 = 2.5

feet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the area of the planter's rectangular base.

16 \times 4 = 64

square feet.

The base area is required to determine how deep the potting soil will sit.

2

Calculate the depth of the potting soil.

128 \div 64 = 2

feet.

Dividing the total volume of soil by the base area yields the height (or depth) of the soil layer.

3

Convert the remaining empty height from inches to feet.

6 \text{ inches} = 0.5 \text{ feet}

.

All measurements must be in the same unit (feet) before they can be added together.

4

Add the soil depth to the empty space depth.

2 + 0.5 = 2.5

feet.

The total interior height is the sum of the filled space and the empty space.

A city construction crew is installing a new cylindrical concrete drainage pipe. The interior of the pipe has a diameter of $10\text{ feet}$ and a length of $100\text{ feet}$ . Using $3.14$ for $\pi$ , what is the maximum volume of water the pipe can hold when completely full, in cubic feet?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7850

Cevap

The pipe can hold a maximum volume of 7,850 cubic feet.

The volume of a cylinder is found by multiplying the area of its circular base by its height or length (

V = \pi r^2 h

). First, convert the given diameter of

10\text{ feet}

to a radius by dividing by

2

, yielding a radius of

5\text{ feet}

. Next, square the radius to get

25

. Multiply this by the length (

100\text{ feet}

) and the approximate value of

\pi

(

3.14

).

3.14 \times 25 \times 100 = 7,850\text{ cubic feet}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the radius of the pipe.

r = 10 \div 2 = 5\text{ feet}

The volume formula for a cylinder requires the radius, which is half of the diameter.

2

Apply the volume formula for a cylinder.

V = \pi \times r^2 \times h

To find the capacity of the cylindrical pipe, we must calculate its three-dimensional space, which is volume.

3

Substitute the known values into the formula.

V = 3.14 \times 5^2 \times 100

We use the given values: radius

5\text{ feet}

, height (or length)

100\text{ feet}

, and

\pi \approx 3.14

.

4

Calculate the final volume.

V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 100 = 3.14 \times 2500 = 7850

Squaring the radius gives

25

. Multiplying by

100

and

3.14

gives the total volume in cubic feet.
