Find the area.\nArea of a rectangle = length*width\n= 15*20\n= 300\n(2/3)(300) = 200\n300-200 = 100 square feet

let the sides of the squares be A yards .\nnow according to the pythagoras theorem we get\n             A^2 + A^2 = 38^2\n              2(A^2) = 1444\n                A^2 = 722\n                A = square root of 722\n                A = 26.8 yards\nmeans each side of square plot is 26.8 yards

Right.  I'm not sure what the question is, but let's assume that the space we are talking about is a rectangle, and you have to figure out what the dimensions are.  Well, the perimeter, 26, is the distance around the space which has the area of 36, which for the sake of argument, we will assume is square feet.  What times what equals 36?  9 x 4, right?  So, it's possible, but not certain that we are looking at a rectangle whose dimensions are 9 feet by 4 feet.  To prove this, remember that a rectangle has four sides.  If our assumptions are correct, it has two sides of 9 feet and two of 4 feet, right? So then,  9 + 9 + 4 + 4 = 26.  It would seem that this is the right answer.  \n\nOf course 12 times 3 also equals 36.  But this time, if we substitute the 12 and the 3 as the dimensions, we would get a perimeter of 30 feet, obviously the wrong answer.  Looks like you have a rectangular space that is 9 by 4 feet.\n\nI hope this helps and that I haven't just muddied the water further.

Organize a local garden to help encourage community,get small home gardens started to share with neighbors,the needy, community kitchens, the elderly +. I would call them Victory over hunger gardens. There is some space in most peoples homes or near their homes for a garden,like a patio,window sill,roof. I have been doing it in the small scale but I want to go larger and do more. I asked for input on answers just today. You can be the idea man in your area get people growing healthier lifestyles, and bringing their community closer together.\nJust a ruff idea best of luck in what ever you choose,I know it will be appreciated. ~A~

1.)The area of a carpet is 308sq.m. If its length is 2m less and its width 6m more, the carpetwill be square. Find the dimension of the carpet...\n\nSo we can see the length of the carpet is 8m longer than the width\n\nL B = Area\nL (L-8) = 308\nL^2 - 8L - 308 = 0\n(L-22)(L+14) = 0\n\ntherefore L=22m or L= -14m\n\nNow a carpet that was -14m long wouldn't be very useful, so we discard that result as not representing the real world.\n\nL = 22 ; B = 308/L = 14m\n\n2.) Gerry wants to fence a rectangular field whose area is 1200sq. m. He has only 100m of fencing so he decided to fence only the three sides of the rectangle letting the wall be the fourth side. How wide should the rectanglebe??? \n\nLet a and b  be the length of sides of the field\na.b = 1200       ------(1)\n2a+b = 100       ------(2)\nb = 100 - 2a     ------(2a)\n(100-2a)(a) = 1200     (substituting into eqn 1)\n2a^2-100a+1200 = 0     (expanding and collecting terms)\na^2-50a+600 = 0        (divide by 2)\n(a-20)(a-30) = 0\na = 20 or a =30\nb = 100-2a\nif a = 20, b = 60      (Check L=20+20+60,A=20*60 correct)\nif a = 30, b = 40      (Check L=30+30+40, A=30*40 correct)\n\nSo two feasible answers.

It is fairly easy to find out.  Decide about how many square feet you would like it to be.  Divide that out between the different uses.  I mean that there are different amounts for garages, patios, and living space.  So if you figure the total is going to be about 2500 square feet than an average two car garage is about 400 square feet and a decent sized patio on the house is about 300 square feet.  Subtract those amounts from the main number, 2500, and you have a breakdown of 1800 for living space, 300 for patio, and 400 for garage.  Take those numbers to the building department for your area and ask for a permit and valuation estimate.  Each portion has a different construction cost and they can add it all up with the different amounts and give you the estimate that will include the total cost of building the house.  That is not always perfect, but it is the best you can get without going through multiple construction companies.

Convert to sq.ft. first:\n\n132 yd * 132 yd = \n\n396 ft * 396 ft =\n\n156,816 ft ²\n\nNow divide by 43,560, since 1 acre = 43,560 ft ²\n\n156,816 ÷ 43,560 = 3.60\n\n(My answer is exactly half of yours)\n\n~ ♥ ~

since 24 inches equals 2 feet divide 44 by 2 which would give you 22 strawberry plants needed

I think you left out some info.  what is the area  of the pond?  you need to know this to find out how much water is in the pond.  then you calculate how much water the farmers will be using.\n\nOk basically you need to use the rule of one to convert here; if you don't know what this is learn it.  \n\n1= 4000L/1min = 30days/1month = 16hrs/1day = 60min/1hr\nnotice that 16hours equals one day because this is the amount of time per day that the farms are watered\n\n1.) 8sprinklers * 3 months= 24sprinkler months\nPretty cool sounding unit right.  Now what you need to do is convert 24 sprinkler months into a volume of water.  You do this by multiplying it by 1\n\n24sprinkler months * 4000L/min/1sprinkler * 30days/1month *16hrs/1day * 60min/1hr = 2764800000Liters  \nnow convert this to m^3 and compare to the volume of water in the resevoir.\n\n2.)In this part you need to convert the amount of water in that reservoir into days of water supply.\n\nPer day the farmers use \n8sprinklers * 4000L/min/sprinkler *16hours/1day * 60min/1hr = 30720000L/day\n\nSo now take volume of water in resevoir * 1day/30720000L = your answer in days\n\n3.)For this one just convert the volume of water in the resevoir into the amount of time it will take to completely drain.  Then take this number and divide by 90days.\n\nyaaaaaaaaaaawn. sorry it is my bedtime.  good luck

Your rectangle (in feet) comes out to 8.2' x 19.7'.  Each row needs 8 tiles plus one strip of 1x6 tiles (if your tile sheet is 2" tiles in a 6x6 configuration).  You will have 19 full rows of tile in the other direction, plus 1/2 sheets of 3x6 tiles.  All in all, you will use 152 FULL tiles, plus 1.3 sheets for the 1x6 strips and 9.5 sheets for the 3x6 sheets.  All in all, you will have 12 tiles left over (2 1x6 strips) if everything lays out properly.\n\nTotal number of tile sheets needed: 163\nTotal left over: 12 2" tiles.

You can do all these in google. For the first one, type in "4 square metres in square cm", and it tells you the exact answer. Do the same for the others. \nYou can then work out any others by yourself without needing to ask :)

ok...realize there are 12 inches in a foot and 3 feet in a yard\n\nso 1 yard * 3 feet/yard = 3feet\nso 3feet * 12 in/foot = 36 inches\n\npretty cool right!!\n\nhope this helped\n\nmatttlocke

square yards can be converted to square feet, but not just yards\n\nHe probably meant yards of carpet assuming a standard width of carpet.

1. no work really needed to show. whenever you've got a fraction to solve, just divide. 15.75 divided by 4.5 equals 3.5\n\n2. same. 59.52 divided by 0.96 equals 62\n\n3. 187 cds divided by 42 cds per shelf. \n   187/42 equals 4.45 shelves\n   since you can't have part of a shelf, you've got to add another shelf to cover all the cd's. so you need 5 shelves.\n\n4. 35 days divided by 3 days each\n   35/3 equals 11.67\n   since you need full projects, you can't count the .67 of a project. she can finish 11 projects\n\n5. you've got two different questions here :)\n\n6. e times 7? 5.6 times 7 equals 39.2\n\n7. \n44.5 - d = 16.9   subtract 44.5 from both sides\n- d = - 27.6         divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative on the d\nd = 27.6
