The cost of painting the circular traffic sign shown below is $3.50 per square foot. How much, to the nearest dollar, will it cost to paint the sign if its diameter measures 36 inches?

The cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

Explanation:

The cost of painting the circular traffic sign is given as 3.50 dollar per square feet. The diameter of the traffic sign is 36 inch, then its radius will be inches.

But as the cost is given in unit of feet, we have to convert the radius from inches to feet.

1 inches = 0.0833 feet

18 inches = 18 × 0.0833 feet

So, the radius of the traffic sign will be approximately equal to 1.5 feet.

The area of the traffic sign will be square feet.

So, if the cost of painting 1 square feet of traffic sign is 3.50 dollar, then

cost of painting 7.065 square feet of traffic sign =  3.50 × 7.065 = 24.7 dollar.

Thus, the cost of painting the traffic sign of 7.065 square feet is approximately equal to 25 dollar.

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
