The width of a rectangle is 7ft less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 228 square feet. Find the length and width

Answers

Answer 1

Set up figure, side length x, and width x-7. Set equation up

[tex]228 = (x)(x - 7) \\ 228 = {x}^{2} - 7x \\ {x}^{2} - 7x - 228 = 0 \\ (x - 19)(x + 12) = 0 \\ x = - 12 \\ x = 19[/tex]

Since the value x, cannot be negative, x is equal to 19. Therefore the length is 19, width 12 (19-7)

Answers

11 feet 1 inches high. Add up all the feet, 4 + 3 + 2 = 9 feet. Add up all the inches 8 + 10 + 7= 25. If 12 inches are in a foot, there’s 2 feet in 25 with a remainder of 1 inch. Add 9 feet + 2 feet= 11 feet and 1” which is the remainder of the 25”.

The position of a large fish relative to the water surface was −17 1/3 feet. It suddenly dove straight down and increased its depth by 6 1/2 feet. What is the position of the fish now relative to the water surface? Enter your answer as a mixed number, in simplified form, in the box.

Answers

So let’s imagine this on a number line…so we know that the fish starts at -17 1/3 on the number line but he dives (that means go lower in our number line) 6 1/2 feet downward so let’s set up an equation:

-17 1/3 - 6 1/2
Now, let’s subtract the two integers by finding the least common denominator of 2 and 3 so it can be easier to solve in this case it’s 6…then let’s set up our new equation:

-17 2/6 - 6 3/6
We know it’s a negative number since we are subtracting a negative number and our final answer is -23 5/6

when the height of a rectangular prism was halved, the volume was 168 cubic cm. if the original prism had a length, width, and height of consecutive integers, increasing in that order,

(a) write and equation to solve for the length, x, of the original figure,
(b) solve length, x,
(c) show that the equation is unique
show all work.​

Answers

a) The equation is therefore; x³ + 3x² + 2x = 336

b) Solving for the length, we get the length to be; x = 6.

c) All workings are as shown below;

According to the question;

When the height of a rectangular prism was halved, the volume was 168 cubic cm.

In essence, the volume of the original prism is;

Volume = 168 × 2.

Volume = 336cm³

Since, the original prism had a length, width, and height of consecutive integers, increasing in that order.

Therefore, length = x

width = (x +1)

height = (x +2)

Volume = x (x+1) (x+2) = 336

a) The equation is therefore;

x³ + 3x² + 2x = 336

b) Solving for the length, x is as follows;

(x-6) (x² + 9x + 56) = 0

By testing values and checking;

Upon solving the polynomial, x = 6.

c) All workings are as shown above.

Slope is 2/-1 or -2. Because you go up twice and then you go left once.

Answer:

y = -2x - 1

See image

Step-by-step explanation:

The "slope-intercept" form of the equation is the

y = mx + b form

So you need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b), which you are able to find on the image in the question.

Slope (m) tells how steep a line is and whether it goes up or down from left to right. It also works just like directions, from any point on the line to any other point on the line.

The y-intercept (b) is the point on the line where the line crosses the y-axis.

The slope is -2 and the y-intercept is -1

So the equation is

y = -2x - 1

The diagonal of an isosceles trapezoid with angle to the base is equal to 30. Find the length of the height of the trapezoid if it is known that the midline of this trapezoid is equal to 8 cm.

Answers

Answer:

4.62 cm to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides are x and y then:

x + y = 2*8 = 16

x + y = 16

If we drop a perpendicular line from one of the upper points on the trapezoid we have the height.  Let the upper point be C and the point on the base be A. Let the point on right of the base be B.

AC is the height of the trapezoid.  AB is the baseline of the triangle CAB.

In triangle CAB the angle B is 30 degrees.

As this is a 30-60-90 degree triangle

AC/AB = 1/√3 so AC = AB/ √3.

As the trapezoid is isosceles:

AB = x + 0.5(y - x)

AB = 0.5x + 0.5y

So AC = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5y)

           = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 0.5(16 - x))   (Substituting for x)

            = 1 /√3 (0.5x + 8 - 0.5x)

             =8 / √3    

.              = 4.6188 cm

Marcus is buying 10 gift bags for his birthday party. He will choose items to put in the bags and then pay an additional charge of $0.75 for the actual bag. Marcus cannot spend more than $50. Write and solve an inequality to find the most Marcus can spend on the items for each bag.

Starting inequality:

Ending inequality:

Answers

Answers:

Starting inequality: [tex]10(x+0.75) \le 50[/tex]

Ending inequality:  [tex]x \le 4.25[/tex]

==================================================

Work Shown:

x = amount spent per bag, ignoring the bag fee

x+0.75 = amount per bag including bag fee

10(x+0.75) = total amount spent on the ten bags

This amount cannot be more than $50. This means 50 dollars is the highest we can go, aka the ceiling value.

That means we'd write [tex]10(x+0.75) \le 50[/tex] as one possible starting inequality.

Let's solve for x

[tex]10(x+0.75) \le 50\\\\10x+7.5 \le 50\\\\10x \le 50-7.5\\\\10x \le 42.5\\\\x \le 42.5/10\\\\x \le 4.25[/tex]

The most he can spend on the items for any single bag is $4.25, which is ignoring the $0.75 fee

If we tack that fee on, then he spends 4.25+0.75 = 5 dollars per bag and ten of such bags leads to 5*10 = 50 dollars total. The answer is confirmed.

factorize completly Mn + np + or + rt​

Answers

Answer:

n (m + p) + r (o + t)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to split the expression in half.

First, focus on mn + np, the common factor would be n.

So the first part of the answer would be mn ÷ n and np ÷ n.

Leading to it being n(m + p).

Then you focus on the second half or + rt.

You find the common factor, which is r.

You divide both sides by r.

Hence why you get r(o + t).

Lastly, you put them together, n(m + p) + r(o + t).

From the picture, we see that there are two congruent sides. Therefore, following the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, if two sides in a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. So, we know that the angles opposite of the congruent sides have an angle measure of x°. We are given the measure of the angle at the top vertex of 100°. Following the Triangle Sum Theorem, the three interior angles in a triangle must sum up to 180°. Therefore, we can create an Algebraic equation to solve for the two base angles that measure x°.

x+100+x=180

x=the base angle measures since they are congruent.

100+x+x=180

Community Property of Addition

100+2x=180.

Added x+x as like terms to = 2x.

100-100+2x=180-100

Subtraction of 100 from both sides to cancel it out and move it.

2x=80

Subtraction operation

2x/2=80/2

Divided by 2 to cancel it out on both sides and move it.

x=40°.

Therefore, the two base angles (angles opposite of the two congruent sides) are 40°.

2(40)+100=80+100=180.

So x=40

Answers

Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The two marked angles are supplementary:

  (7x -2) +(4x +6) = 180

  11x +4 = 180

  11x = 176

  x = 176/11 = 16

The value of x is 16.

_____

Additional comment

The angle on the left is 110°; the one on the right is 70°, so that answer checks.

These marked angles are called "consecutive exterior" angles. Just as "consecutive interior" angles are supplementary, so are consecutive exterior angles.

Essentially, all of the obtuse angles are congruent, as are all of the acute angles. The obtuse angles are supplementary to the acute angles.
