Answer:

C. 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width

Let y = length

If the length is at least 10 feet longer than the width:

⇒ x + 10 ≤ y

⇒ x ≤ y - 10

If the perimeter is to be no more than 100 ft:

⇒ 2x + 2y ≤ 100

⇒ x + y ≤ 50

⇒ x ≤ 50 - y

Equate the equations for x and solve for y:

⇒ y - 10 = 50 - y

⇒ 2y = 60

⇒ y = 30

Substitute found value of y into one of the inequalities for x:

⇒ x ≤ 30 - 10

⇒ x ≤ 20

Therefore, the maximum possible width of the fence is 20 feet.

Tema [17]
<h3>Answer: choice B) 36</h3>

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

Explanation:

The vertical sides, when read from left to right, can be divided to get this fraction: 9/90

Following the same order and direction, we divide the slanting corresponding sides to get: b/360

The fractions we constructed are equal to one another, as the triangles are said to be proportional.

We have the fraction 9/90 = b/360

Lets cross multiply and solve for b

--------------------

9/90 = b/360

9*360 = 90*b

3240 = 90b

90b = 3240

90b/90 = 3240/90

<h3>b = 36</h3>

--------------------

A quick way to do this may be to notice how the jump from 9 to 90 is "times 10" so the jump from b to 360 is also "times 10". Think in reverse to divide 360 over 10 and we land on 36 as our answer. This line of thinking does not work as simple for all proportional problems.

Let \[f(x) = \frac{3x - 7}{x + 1}.\]find the range of $f$. give your answer as an interval.
ra1l [238]
Hello :
let : y=  \frac{3x-7}{x+1}
calculate : x ......x <span>≠ -1 
</span>y(x+1) = 3x-7
yx+y =3x-7
yx-3x = -y-7
x(y-3) = -7-y
x =  \frac{y+7}{3-y}
the inverse function is : g(x) =  \frac{x+7}{3-x}
domain of : g  is the range of : f
as an interval : ]-∞: 3 <span>[</span>U ]3;+∞[

Please help on question 12 or 13 as soon as possible
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

to know the summation of angles: (n-2)*180

here (n) represent numbers of sides

12)we have 5 sides (n=5)

(5-2)*180=540

x=540-(105+135+92+87)=121

13)we have 8 sides (n=8)

(8-2)*180=1080

x=1080-(116+158+141+124+136+132+129)=144

I hope it will help
