Need help with the following questions.
A Little League team is building a backstop for its practice field. It
is made up of two right angles as shown below. The backstop extends 24
feet 8 inches out in each direction and the center pole is 6.5 yards
high. All sides of the backstop including base and the center pole are
to be made of aluminum tubing. How many feet of tubing should the team
buy? How many square feet of the backstop must be covered by a screen?
An Indian sand painter begins his picture with a circle of dark sand. He
then inscribes a square with a side length of 1 foot inside the circle.
What is the area of the circle?
Three buildings abut as shown in the diagram below. What are the
dimensions of the courtyard and what is the perimeter of the building?
A cylindrical can is just big enough to hold three tennis balls. The
radius of a tennis ball is 5 cm. What is the volume of air that
surrounds the tennis balls?
