Answer:

$145.36

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * (sum of bases) * height

In this case, the sum of the bases is 10 feet + 13 feet = 23 feet.

So the area of the trapezoid is:

Area = (1/2) * 23 feet * 8 feet = 92 square feet.

Given that the carpet costs $1.58 per square foot, Celeste will spend:

Cost = Area * Cost per square foot = 92 square feet * $1.58/square foot.

Calculating this, Celeste will spend $145.36 to carpet the area.

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180

F=ma

where F=force

m=mass

a=acceleration

Here,

F=4300

a=3.3m/s2

m=F/a

    =4300/3.3

    =1303.03kg

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km

Volume of rectangular prism=length * width * height

Given,

length=3/8cm

breadth=5/8cm

height=7/8cm

therefore volume=(3/8)*(5/8)*(7/8)

                           =105/512 cm3

Decrease in bikes sale = 650 - 572 = 78

%Decrease = (change)/old value * 100

%Decrease in sale = 78/650 * 100 = 12%

Decrease in sale = 12%

Volume of pool = 1472 m^3

Length = 36.8m

Breadth = 20m

We know,

Volume = l*b*h

1472 = 36.8 * 20 * h

h = 1472/736

h = 2m

Pool is 2m deep
