A bag of sand holds 1 cubic foot of sand. How many bags of sand are needed to fill a square sandbox measuring 5 feet long and 1 foot high?

To find the volume of sand needed to fill the sandbox, we need to calculate the volume of the sandbox. The sandbox is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a length of 5 feet, a width (or depth) unknown, and height 1 foot. Since the sandbox is square, we can assume that the width is also 5 feet. Therefore, the volume of the sandbox is:
 
 Volume = length x width x height
 Volume = 5 feet x 5 feet x 1 foot
 Volume = 25 cubic feet
 
 Since each bag of sand holds 1 cubic foot of sand, we need to divide the volume of the sandbox by the volume of each bag to find the number of bags needed:
 
 Number of bags = Volume of sandbox / Volume of each bag
 Number of bags = 25 cubic feet / 1 cubic foot/bag
 Number of bags = 25 bags
 
Therefore, we need 25 bags of sand to fill the square sandbox measuring 5 feet long and 1 foot high.

Aisha wants to paint the walls of a room. She knows that each can of paint contains one gallon. A half gallon will completely cover a 55 square feet of wall. Each of the four walls of the room is 10 feet high. Two of the walls are 10 feet wide and two of the walls are 15 feet wide. How many 1-gallon buckets of paint does Aisha need to buy in order to fully paint the room?

The total number of buckets necessary will be the total area of the walls divided by the total area covered by each bucket. First, calculate the area of the walls Aisha wants to paint. Two of the walls are 10 × 10 and two of the walls are 10 × 15: 2 (10 × 10) = 200 sq. ft. 2 (10 × 15) = 300 sq. ft. So the total square footage of the walls is 500. If a half gallon of paint will cover 55 square feet, then each gallon will cover 2 × 55 = 110 square feet. Four gallons can only cover 440 square feet. Five gallons will cover 550 square feet, which will be enough for the entire area of the walls.

A rectangle is one inch longer than it is wide. Its diagonal is five inches. What’s the width of the rectangle?

The diagonal formula for a rectangle is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. In this case, D = 5, and L = W + 1. Substituting the known values into the formula results in @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

How many square feet of carpeting are needed to carpet a 12-foot x 12-foot room?

Square footage is determined by multiplying length by width, or 12 × 12 = 144.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 36 inches. Its length is 3 inches greater than twice the width. What’s the rectangle’s length?

A rectangle’s perimeter is determined by the formula P = 2(l + w). The length of this rectangle is 3 + 2w. Substituting the known values into the formula results in 36 = 2(w + 3 + 2w). 36 = 2(3w + 3) 18 = 3w + 3 15 = 3w w = 5 As the length is 3 + 2w, then l = 3 + 2(5), or l = 13.

A cylinder's height is 8 cm and its volume is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. If its radius is doubled and its height is cut in half, the volume of the resulting cylinder is <code>_________</code>.

The volume of a cylinder is @@@@@@@@@@@. 

In the original cylinder, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ so @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 

And the radius, r, equals √16 = 4. In the new cylinder, the radius is doubled to 8 and the height is cut in half to 4. 

The resulting volume is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.

A right triangle has an area of 24 square feet. If one leg is 3 times as long as the other, what is the length of the longest side?

The area of a triangle is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@bh. 

Let b represent the length of one leg. 

Then h = 3b so the area is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@bh =  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@2 × b × 3b =  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ = 24, so @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ and @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. 

b = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@ = 4 and h = 3 × 4 = 12. 

The longest side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse. 

Using the Pythagorean theorem, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@, so @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ and @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. 

Therefore, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ and c = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ = 12.6.

Fred wishes to enclose a square garden with wire whose sides measure 20 feet. If he decides to have the wire go around the garden five times, how much will the wire cost him if wire costs 40 cents for a spool of 50 feet?

The perimeter of the garden is 20 × 4 = 80 feet, so you would need 5 × 80 = 400 feet to go around it five times. Now, divide 400 feet by 50 feet and you get 8, which means that you need to buy 8 spools. Finally, 8 spools at 40 cents a spool would cost $3.20.

How many yards of fencing do you need to enclose a rectangular yard that is 42 feet long and 84 feet wide?

You need to find the perimeter of the rectangle. P = 2 × 42 + 2 × 84 = 84 + 168 = 252 feet (84 yards.)

A bricklayer charges $8 per square foot to lay a patio. How much would it cost for the bricklayer to lay a 12-foot-x-16-foot patio?

First determine the square footage of the patio: 12 feet × 16 feet = 192 square feet. Then multiply this number by the cost per square foot to determine what the brick layer charges: 192 × $8 = $1,536.

How many feet of baseboard would you need to go around a rectangular room if the room has a length of 12 feet and a width of  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  feet, and you must deduct 4 feet for a doorway?

The perimeter of the room is 2 × 12 + 2 × 7.5 = 24 + 15 = 39 feet. Subtracting 4 feet for the doorway leaves you needing 35 feet of baseboard.

What is the area, in square inches, of a square piece of carpet that measures 6 feet 2 inches on a side?

Since the problem asks for the area in square inches, you need to express the length of the side in inches. 
 A length of 6 feet 2 inches is 6 × 12 + 2 = 72 + 2 = 74 inches. 
 The area, then, is 74 × 74 inches = 5,476 square inches.

A lumberjack wishes to drive a spike through the center of a tree with a circumference of 43.96 feet. What’s the minimum length of the spike needed to go completely through the tree, passing through the center?

The minimum length of spike is equal to the diameter of the tree. To find the diameter of the tree, use the formula, C = πd, where C = 43.96, and π = 3.14. 43.96 = 3.14 × d. d = 43.96 ÷ 3.14. d = 14. (remember pi=3.14)

The area of one circle is four times as large as a smaller circle with a radius of 3 inches. The radius of the larger circle is <code>_________</code>.

The area of the circle with a radius of 3 is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. The area of the larger circle is 4 × 9π = 36π. Therefore, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@, so r = 6. The radius of the larger circle is 6.

Tom is flying a kite at the end of a 500-foot string. His friend Kathy is standing directly under the kite 300 feet away from Tom. How high is the kite flying?

Visualize a triangle, where the string represents the hypotenuse and the line between Tom and Kathy represents one of the legs. The Pythagorean theorem states that if one knows the length of two sides of a triangle, the length of the third side can be determined, using the formula @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. In this case, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A house contains one 12-foot-x-14-foot bedroom, one 12-foot-x-10-foot bedroom, and one 8-foot-x-12-foot bedroom. What’s the total amount of carpet needed to carpet all three bedrooms, given that one carpet = 1 yard?

Find the area of each bedroom and add them together: 

12 × 14 = 168; 

12 × 10 = 120; 

8 × 12 = 96. 168 + 120 + 96 = 384 square feet. 

Then, because 9 square feet make up a square yard, divide the total area in square feet by 9 to determine the number of square yards needed: 

384 ÷ 9 = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ square yards.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ square yards.

The volume of a cube is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. The surface area of the cube is <code>_________</code>.

The volume of a cube is @@@@@@@, where s represents the length of an edge. Surface area is @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@. 

If the volume = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ then s = 7. 

So the surface area is = @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.
