The area of a fenced in back yard can be 144 square feet. The owners are trying to decide on the dimensions of the back yard, and have decided they want the length to be 10 feet more than its width. What will the dimensions of the back yard be?

Answers

Answer 1

A rectangle can be defined as a 4 sided geometric figure.  One side of a rectangle is longer than the other sides. A rectangle can also be referred to as a quadrilateral.

The dimensions of the background are given as Width: 8 feet and the  Length: 18 feet

The formula for the area of a rectangle is Length x Width.

The question says:

The owners want the length to be 10 feet more than its width. Hence:

L = W + 10

The area of the fenced backyard = 144 square feet.

Hence,

(W + 10) x W = 144

W² + 10W = 144

Rewriting the equation

W² + 10W - 144 = 0

We factorize the algebraic expression above

W² - 8W + 18W - 144 = 0

W(W - 8) + 18(W - 8) = 0

(W - 8) (W + 18) = 0

W - 8 = 0, W = 8

W + 18 = 0, W = -18

Since the width cannot be a negative value, the width of the backyard is 8 feet

Solving for the Length,

L = W + 10

L = 8 + 10

L = 18 feet

The length of the backyard is 18 feet.

Therefore, the dimensions of the backyard are Width: 8 feet and Length: 18 feet.

After 12 years, town will have 25,160 people.

x = 6

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 given angles and equate to 180

70 + 60 + 8x + 2 = 180 , collect like terms

132 + 8x = 180 ( subtract 132 from both sides )

8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )

О 4 times
O 5 times
O 2 times
O The average rate of change of Section B is not greater than the average rate of change of Section A.

Answers

Answer:  Choice A.   4 times

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

Explanation:

We'll be using this formula

[tex]m = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

to compute the average rate of change (AROC) from x = a to x = b. Note how this is effectively the slope formula because y = f(x).

To start things off, we'll compute the AROC from x = 1 to x = 2.

[tex]m = \frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}\\\\m = \frac{g(2)-g(1)}{2-1}\\\\m = \frac{5(2)^2-5(2)^1}{2-1}\\\\m = \frac{10}{1}\\\\m = 10\\\\[/tex]

Do the same for the AROC from x = 3 to x = 4.

[tex]m = \frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a}\\\\m = \frac{g(4)-g(3)}{4-3}\\\\m = \frac{5(2)^4-5(2)^3}{4-3}\\\\m = \frac{40}{1}\\\\m = 40\\\\[/tex]

The jump from m = 10 to m = 40 is "times 4", which is why choice A is the final answer.

A clothing business finds there is a linear relationship between the number of shirts, n ,it can sell and the price, p , it can charge per shirt. In particular, historical data shows that 1000 shirts can be sold at a price of $66, while 10000 shirts can be sold at a price of $48. Give a linear equation in the form p

Answers

Answer: p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500} +68[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number of shirts and p represent the price, the there is a linear relationship between n and p, then the model equation is given as:

p = mn + b, where

m = slope and b is the intercept

From the question, when n = 1000, p = $66

And, when n = 10,000 , p = $48

The formula for finding slope is given as:

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex]

[tex]y_{1} = 66[/tex]

[tex]y_{2} = 48[/tex]

[tex]x_{1} = 1000[/tex]

[tex]x_{2} = 10000[/tex]

substituting the values,

m = [tex]\frac{48-66}{10000-1000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-18}{9000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-2}{1000}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-1}{500}[/tex]

The linear equation thus becomes

p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500}+b[/tex]

To find the value of b, substitute  p = 66 and n =1000 into the equation

That is,

66 = [tex]\frac{-1000}{500}+b[/tex]

66 = -2 + b

68 = b

Therefore b = 68

The linear equation is therefore

p = [tex]\frac{-n}{500} +68[/tex]

The perimeter of a triangle is 65 cm. The
lengths of the sides are x cm, x+8 cm, and
X+ 12 cm.
What is the length, in cm, of the longest side of
the triangle?

Answers

[tex]▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪  {\huge\mathfrak{Answer}}▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪[/tex]

The longest side measures :

[tex]27\: \: cm[/tex]

[tex] \large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Explanation}}[/tex]

Perimeter of a triangle is equal to sum of measures of its all three sides, that is :

[tex]x + x + 8 + x + 12[/tex]

and according to the question, the perimeter of the triangle is = 65 cm

so, let's equate both the expressions to find value of x :

[tex]x + x + 8 + x + 12 = 65[/tex][tex]3x + 20 = 65[/tex][tex]3x = 65 - 20[/tex][tex]3x = 45[/tex][tex]x = 45 \div 3[/tex][tex]x = 15[/tex]

The longest side of the Triangle is :

[tex]x + 12[/tex][tex]15 + 12[/tex][tex]27 \: \: cm[/tex]

27cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(xcm) + (x+8cm) + ( x+ 12cm) = 65cm

Open Bracket

xcm + x+8cm + x+12cm = 65cm

3x+ 20cm = 65cm

Collect like terms

3x = 65cm - 20cm

3x = 45cm

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 45cm/3

x = 15cm

The longest side of the triangle =( x+12cm)

= (15+12)cm= 27cm
