Shown below is the birdseye view of a square gated chicken farm with four large congruent circular chicken coops inside it Each chicken requires an area of 15m2 class=

Respuesta :

The number of chickens in each coop is 42.

Since the length of the square gated chicken farm is L = 18 m, and the diameter of each chicken coop, D.

Diameter of each coop

From the diagram, we have that L = 2D

So, D = L/2

= 18 m/2

= 9 m

Area of each coop

Since each coop is a circle of diameter, D = 9 m, its area A = πD²/4

= π(9 m)²/4

= 81π/4 m²

= 254.47 m²/4

= 63.62 m².

Number of chickens in each coop

Since each chicken requires an area of 1.5 m², and the area of the coop is A = 63.62 m².

The number of chickens in each coop a = area of coop/area occupied by chicken = 63.62 m²/1.5 m²

= 42.4

≅ 42 chickens

So, the number of chickens in each coop is 42.
