Answer: length of the drive way = 56 feet

Width of the driveway = 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular driveway has two equal lengths and two equal widths. The area of the driveway is expressed as

length,l × width,w

The area is 672 feet squared. It means that

L×W = 672

The length of the rectangular driveway is four feet less than five times the width. It means that

L = 5W - 4

Substituting L = 5W - 4 into LW = 672

W(5W - 4) = 672

5W^2 - 4W - 672 = 0

5W^2 + 56W - 60W - 672 = 0

W(5W + 56) - 12(5W + 56) = 0

(W - 12)(5W + 56) = 0

W - 12 = 0 or 5W + 56 = 0

W = 12 or 5W = -56

W= 12 or W = - 56/5

The Width cannot be negative , so

W = 12

LW = 672

12L = 672

L = 672/12 = 56

A right triangle ABC is shown. Leg AC has length 18, leg BC has length 24, and hypotenuse AB has length 30. Find the exact value
Tresset [83]
Although there i no triangle given as the question requires, I am still going to answer because I understand it.

ABC is a right angled triangle. The triangle is 90° at C.

The trigonometric ratio sine is given by, sine = opposite/hypotenuse .
Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
 
So therefore, Sin A = 24/30
                               = 4/5

                     Cos A = 18/30
                               = 3/5

Given that CD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ is a perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, where D is on AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, how can you use the Pythagorean Theor
Liula [17]

Answer:

(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2 and (CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bisector: CD

of Line AB

Required

Apply Pythagoras Theorem

From the question, CD bisects AB and it bisects it at D.

The relationship between AB and CD is given by the attachment

Considering ACD

From the attachment, we have that:

Hypothenuse = CA

Opposite = CD

Adjacent = AD

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have

(AD)^2 + (CD)^2 = (CA)^2

Considering CBD

From the attachment, we have that:

Hypothenuse = CB

Opposite = CD

Adjacent = BD

By Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

(CD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (CB)^2

In the theory of learning, the rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to
fiasKO [112]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement:

M: is total to be memorized

A(t): the amount memorized.

The key issue is translate this statement as equation "rate at which a subject is memorized is assumed to be proportional to the amount that is left to be memorized"

memorizing rate is \frac{dA(t)}{dt}.

the amount that is left to be memorized can be expressed as the total minus the amount memorized, that is M-A(t).

So we can write

\frac{dA(t)}{dt}=k(M-A(t))

And that would be the differential equation for A(t).
