Answer:

The number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount. Therefore, we can have the following equation:

RC = 25 + 0.14x ....................... (1)

BC = 23 + 0.18x ...................... (2)

Where;

RC = Total cost of Rent-Me Rent-A-Car

BC = Total cost of Better Deal Rental Car

The the cost of the two companies equal where RC = BC. Therefore, we equate equations (1) and (2) and solve for x as follows:

25 + 0.14x = 23 + 0.18x

25 - 23 = 0.18x - 0.14x

2 = 0.04x

x = 2 / 0.04

x = 50

Therefore, the number of miles at which a car rented from either company cost the same amount is <u>50 miles</u>.

<u>Note:</u>

This can be confirmed for equations (1) and (2) individually by substituting for x = 50 as follows:

For equation (1):

RC = 25 + 0.14(50)

RC = 25 + 7

RC = 32

For equation (2):

BC = 23 + 0.18(50)

BC = 23 + 9

BC = 32

Therefore, RC = BC = 32 confirms the answer.

The perimeter of a square is 44 centimeters. what is its area?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Perimeter = 44cm

we know that square has 4 sides which are same

so perimeter means sum of all 4 sides

4 × s = 44cm

s = 11cm

Each side will be of 11cm.

Now area of square is Square of its side length.

so area = 11 × 11 = 121 cm^2

Quadrilateral LMNO is similar to quadrilateral PQRS. Find the measure of side QR.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The measure of the side QR is 8.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since LMNO \sim PQRS, then SP \propto OL, RS \propto ON, RQ \propto MN and QP \propto LM. From figure we have the following relationship:

k = \frac{OL}{SP} = \frac{ON}{RS} = \frac{MN}{QR} = \frac{ML}{QP} (1)

Where k is the proportionality ratio.

If we know that SP = 13, OL = 55, MN = 37, then the measure of side QR is:

k = \frac{OL}{SP} (1b)

k = \frac{55}{13}

k = \frac{MN}{QR}

QR = \frac{MN}{k} (1c)

QR = \frac{37}{\frac{55}{13} }

QR = 8.745

The measure of the side QR is 8.8.
