Soil in a raised bed |
2018-06-24 |

Georgia pose la question : Good Afternoon,
I'm planning on building a raised bed garden measuring
6 feet long x 4 feet wide x 12 inches deep.
I'm not sure how to calculate the amount of soil to fill it up. I will have to
purchase the soil in 2 cubic feet bags.
I've read several articles about this topic on various gardening websites,
and one of them stated it would take a ton of soil to fill up an 8 foot long x
4 foot wide x 12 inch deep raised bed garden.
I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me out with this quandary.
Thank you for your prompt and courteous response.
Kind Regards,

A raised bed in the shape of an octagon |
2012-11-22 |
|
pat pose la question : I want to make raised-bed gardens - usually 4' square, but want to be more creative by creating octagonal boxes. The ideal size for square beds is 4'x4'. The boards are 8' long, so I want to get as much out of a board as I can. If I want an octagon with a diameter of 4', I think the sides would be (rounded off) about 1.5' each using 2 full boards with a little waste and the growing space would be less than a 4' square (16 square feet). If I want to increase the length of each side to 2' each (getting the max from a board), what will the diameter of this octagon be so I can determine the growing space of the box. (The reason a 4' square is important in gardening, besides maximizing the wood, is that a person can reach into the center to plant and pick veggies without stepping on the soil, so diameter is important). My math days are long over and I'm having trouble working with octagons! Thank you! Harley Weston lui répond. |

Two congruent circles in a rectangle |

BEDMAS solving for X |
2007-02-07 |
|
damian pose la question : Hi, I am having a problem understanding why when using BEDMAS the text book example of the following question has used bedmas and reduced the calculation to 4/3.
Text book formula: X/200,000 = (X - 90,000) / 150,000 X = 4/3 * (X - 90,000) X = 360,000
My solution: I always thought that when you do something to one side you do the same to the other. Why would the equation bring the 200,000 / 150,000 down to 4 / 3 I would think it would look something like this. X/200,000 = (X - 90,000) / 150,000 X = 200,000*((X - 90,000) / 150,000) Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

I fear they want me to answer the question left to right as the answer is 4 if I use BEDMAS I get 98.6 (which clearly sounds wrong for what they want) any thoughts? Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle. |
2004-12-08 |

Abraham pose la question : A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle. What is the ratio of the length of a side of the hexagon to the minor arc that it intercepts?
(1) pi/6
(2) 3/6
(3) 3/pi (This is the correct answer.)
(4) 6/pi
I found the length of the minor arc to be (pi)(r)/3 by doing a sixth of the circumference(2pi r).But I can't find the length of the radius to finish off the problem. If I knew the radius I would then plug it into the above and then use the radius again to be the length of the side because the triangle(one of the six of a hexagon) is equilateral. But can you show me how to get the radius to be 3? Thank you so much.

A polygon inscribed within an ellipse - Part 2 |
2002-07-08 |
|
Steven pose la question : I recently sought your advice about a problem that I have been working on for eight years or so concerning a polygon inscribed within an ellipse. I think that I may have confused matters by the way in which I put the question and hope that the enclosed diagram will clear matters up. In the ellipse below I have drawn three chords inscribed within one quadrant ( this would pertain to a twelve sided figure within the whole ellipse). These chords are exactly the same length as each other, for example if the major axis of the ellipse was 360 and the minor axis 240 I have worked out that a twelve sided figure would have sides of 78.2487. However I worked this out empirically with a method that could only be described as gruelling I would be most grateful if you could tell me of a method that would work for any ellipse and any number of sides.
