Solutions to End-of-Chapter Questions and Problems 529<br />

10. Assuming the property is rectangular, the total area is 300 440 132,000<br />

square yards. The owner wants to keep a piece that measures 110 44 4,840 square<br />

yards. Therefore, the area he wants to sell is 132,000 4,840 127,160 square<br />

yards.<br />

11. Convert all lengths to inches. Then consider the outside rectangle that measures 207<br />

by 216 inches. Its area is 207 216 44,712 square inches. From this, subtract two<br />

rectangles, one measuring 81 by 84 inches and the other measuring 24 by 60 inches. The<br />

areas of these rectangles are, respectively, 6,804 and 1,440 inches. The floor area of the<br />

room is therefore 44,712 (6,804 1,440) 44,712 8,244 36,468 square inches.<br />

You might want to divide by 144 to obtain the answer as 253.25 square feet.<br />

12. Consider the walls as a set of rectangles, each of which is 7 feet (84 inches) high.<br />

Then starting at the upper left-hand corner and proceeding clockwise, the areas of the<br />

rectangles are<br />

84 84 7,056 square inches<br />

24 84 2,016 square inches<br />

60 84 5,040 square inches<br />

24 84 2,016 square inches<br />

63 84 5,292 square inches<br />

54 84 4,536 square inches<br />

Window 0 square inches<br />

54 84 4,536 square inches<br />

27 84 2,268 square inches<br />

Window 0 square inches<br />

27 84 2,268 square inches<br />

84 84 7,056 square inches<br />

81 84 6,804 square inches<br />

48 84 4,032 square inches<br />

Door 0 square inches<br />

48 84 4,032 square inches<br />

The surface area of the walls is the sum of all these areas, or 56,952 square inches. You<br />

might wish to divide this figure by 144 to obtain the answer as 395.5 square feet.<br />

1. In an hour, a car going 35 mph will go 35 miles, and 36 minutes is 3/5 of an hour.<br />

Therefore, in 36 minutes, if the car travels at a constant speed, it will go 35 3/5 <br />

21 miles.<br />

2. The answers are<br />

(a) Upstream speed is 10 2 8 mph.<br />
