Mathematics

1 answer:

deff fn [24]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules for significant figures are:

Non-zero digits are always significant.
Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

In 13822, all of the digits are non-zero. So the first significant figure is 1.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 feet and an area of 50 square feet. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

REY [17]

Perimeter (p) = 2×length (l) + 2×width (w)
p = 2l+2w
area (a) = l×w, so solve for one (I'll use l):
$a = l \times w \\ l = a \div w \\ p = 2l + 2w = 2(l + w)$
since p = 30, and a = 50, substitute the "a÷w" in for l in the perimeter equation:
$p = 2(l + w) = 2((a \div w) + w) \\ = 2((a \div w) + ( {w}^{2} \div w)) \\ p= 2((a + {w}^{2}) \div w$
Now plug in p and a values:
$p= 2((a + {w}^{2}) \div w) \\ 30 = 2((50 + {w}^{2}) \div w) \\ 30 \div 2 = (50 + {w}^{2}) \div w \\ 15w = 50 + {w}^{2}$
$15w = 50 + {w}^{2} \\ {w}^{2} - 15w + 50 = 0 \\ (w - 5)(w - 10) = 0$
therefore width can be either 5 or 10 (but not both), so let's plug in:
l = a÷w = 50÷5 = 10
So if w = 5, then l = 10

D) 5 feet, and 10 feet
