By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.

<h3>How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>

For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(x + y).

Here we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft

p = 890ft = 2(x + y)

So we have a system of equations.

To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:

890ft = 2(x + y)

890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)

Now we can solve this for y.

890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y

890ft + 130ft = 6y

1020ft/6 = y = 170ft

So the width is 170ft, and we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft

So the length is 275 ft.

the soccer league needs to transport all 133 players to the tournament. If 4 players can ride in one car, how many cars are need
LenKa [72]

Take the 133 players and divide by 4.

         (133 / 4) = 33.25

33 cars can carry   (33 x 4) = 132 players.
But that leaves one player out in the cold with no ride.
You need one more car ... 34 cars all together.

a person invest in 9000 in a bank. the bank pays 5% interest compounded semi annually. to the nearest tenth of a year, how long
QveST [7]

Answer:

10.1 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Principal = 9000

Rate of interest = 5%

No. of times interest compounded = 2 times in an year

Amount after certain time = 14800

The formula for amount:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest, n is no. of times interest compounded in an year and t is time in years.

Substitute the given values in the above formula.

14800=9000(1+\frac{0.05}{2})^{2t}

\frac{14800}{9000}=(1+0.025)^{2t}

1.644=(1.025)^{2t}

Taking log both sides.

\log(1.644)=\log(1.025)^{2t}

\log(1.644)=2t\log(1.025)    [\because \log a^b=b\log a]

\frac{\log(1.644)}{2\log(1.025)}=t

t=10.066

t=10.1

Therefore, the required time is 10.1 years.

Answer:

6/8, 9/12, 12/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same amount to maintain the same ration.

\frac{3}{4} =\frac{6}{8} = \frac{9}{12} =\frac{12}{16}
