Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 7.3</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to the area to get the side length. This only applies to areas that are squares (hence the name).
==================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: C) 1.3</h3>
Explanation: Use your calculator to find that choices A,B,D plugged into the square root function yield terminating decimal values. "Terminating" means "stop". This implies that they are perfect squares (though not perfect squares in the sense of whole number perfect squares which you may be used to). Choice C is the only value that has a square root that leads to a non-terminating decimal. The digits of this decimal go on forever without any pattern. The value is irrational.
- sqrt(5.29) = 2.3 terminating decimal
- sqrt(13.69) = 3.7 terminating decimal
- sqrt(1.3) = 1.140175425 keeps going forever without any pattern
- sqrt(0.09) = 0.3 terminating decimal
==================================================
Problem 3
<h3>Answer: 23.6 feet approximately</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to 15.5 to get roughly 3.937; this is the approximate side length of one square. Six of these tiles placed together will lead to a total length of roughly 6*3.937 = 23.622 which rounds to 23.6 feet. Like with problem 1, the square root being used like this only works for square areas.
Step-by-step explanation:
it is solved directly by using the formula
Let x be the number of pens in a box.
Jill : three full boxes of pen and 2 loose pens. 3x + 2
Ben: two full boxes of pen and 14 loose pens. 2x + 14
Jill and Ben have the same pens.
Jill = Ben
3x+2 = 2x + 14
3x - 2x = 14 - 2
1x = 12
x = 12
To check:
Jill = Ben
3x + 2 = 2(x) + 14
3(12) + 2 = 2(12) + 14
36 + 2 = 24 + 14
38 = 38
There are 12 pens or a dozen of pens in a full box.
B
the volume (V) of a sphere =
πr³
We require to know the radius r to calculate the volume
using surface area of a sphere = 4πr² = 615.752
divide both sides by 4π
r² =
= 49.0248...
take the square root of both sides
r =
≈ 7, hence
V=
× π × 7³ = 1436.76 m³ → B
Answer:
X = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in problem
- x -4x - 7 = 5 -2x
Or, -5x - 7 = 5- 2x
Or, -5x + 2x = 5 + 7
Or, -3x = 12
Or, x = - 
∴ X = - 4 Answer
