Answer:

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08 ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a rectangle is A = L × W

The formula of the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(L + W)

where:

  • L is the length of the rectangle
  • W is the width of the rectangle

∵ The baby blanket shaped a rectangle

∵ The dimensions of the blanket are 3 feet and 5 feet

- Find the area of the blanket

∵ A = 3 × 5 = 15 feet²

- Change feet to yard because the cost is by square yard

∵ 1 foot = \frac{1}{3} yard

∴ 1 foot² = (\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{1}{9} yard²

∴ 15 feet² = 15 × (\frac{1}{9}) = \frac{5}{3} yards²

∴ The area of the blanket is  \frac{5}{3} yards²

∵ The fabric cost of the blanket is $1.25 per square yard

∴ The fabric cost =  \frac{5}{3} × 1.25

∴ The fabric cost = 2.08333 dollars

∵ Heather is going to put a ribbon border around it

- The length of the ribbon is equal to the perimeter of the blanket

∵ P = 2(3 + 5) = 16 feet

∴ The length of the ribbon is 16 feet

∵ The cost of the ribbon is $0.5 per foot

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 16 × 0.5

∴ The cost of the ribbon = 8 dollars

Now add the fabric cost to the ribbon cost to find the total cost of the blanket

∵ The total cost = 2.08333 + 8

∴ The total cost = 10.08333

- Round it to the nearest cent

∴ The total cost = 10.08 dollars

The approximate total cost for the blanket is $10.08

Answer:

  BC = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the segments is the overall length.

  AB +BC = AC

  (2x +6) + (6x +5) = 51 . . . . substitute given values

  8x +11 = 51 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  8x = 40 . . . . . . . subtract 11

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

  BC = 6x+5 = 6(5) +5 . . . . . . . . use the value of x to find BC

  BC = 35

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A function assigns exactly one output to each input of a specified type. It is common to name a function either f(x) or g(x) instead of y. f(2) means that we should find the value of our function when x equals 2. Example. f(x)=x+7.
