Answer:

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width ( in inches ) of the border,

Given,

The length of the picture = 43 inches,

And, width of the picture = 27 inches,

So, the length of whole frame ( picture with border ) = 43 + 2x,

Its width = 27 + 2x

Thus, the area of the whole frame,

A=(43+2x)(27+2x)-----(1)

Now, the area of the picture,

A_1=43\times 27=1161\text{ square inches}----(2)

We have, the area of the border,

A_2=800\text{ square inches}----(3)

Thus,

A=A_1+A_2

Equation (1) (2) and (3),

(43+2x)(27+2x) = 1161+800

1161 + 86x+54x+4x^2=1161+800

4x^2+140x-800=0

x^2+35x-200=0

x^2+40x-5x-200=0

x(x+40)-5(x+40)=0

(x-5)(x+40)=0

\implies x=5\text{ or }x=-40

∵ Width can not be negative,

Hence, the width of the border is 5 inches.

Answer:

The border will be 18.6 inches wide

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the width be w</em>

<em>The length = 43 inches</em>

<em>Total wood = 800 square inches</em>

Formula for area of rectangle = length x width

<em>800 = 43 x w</em>

<em>w = 800/43</em>

w = 18.6 inches

Therefore, the border will be 18.6 inches wide.

What is the measure of x, in degrees
Stells [14]

Answer: B is correct, 40 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

70 is the given angle, z is equivalent to that angle, so z is 70. So add those together, and you have 140. According to the rule, a triangle will always add up to 180. So 180-140=40 and there's your answer. Hope this helps!

Answer:

  process: substitute the given point values into the 2-point form of the equation for a line

Step-by-step explanation:

There are more than a half-dozen different forms of the equation for a line. They are useful for different purposes. One of them is the "two-point form".

Using x as the independent variable, and y as the dependent variable, the equation can be written as ...

  y -y1 = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.

__

Here, your two points are ...

  (t, s) = (10, 337) and (30, 349)

Using s in place of y, and t in place of x, these two points go into the formula like this:

  s -337 = (349 -337)/(30 -10)(t -10)

Simplifying the fraction, this is ...

  s -337 = (12/20)(t -10)

And writing it as a decimal, we get ...

  s -337 = 0.6(t -10)

_____

<em>Additional comments</em>

Adding y1 to both sides of the above form gives you ...

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)/(x -x1) +y1

This is the form I usually prefer to use, because it can lead directly to slope-intercept form. For this problem, the form shown above gets you to the answer you're looking for.

__

This "two-point form" is an expansion of the "point-slope form", which is ...

  y - k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

where the equation for slope is ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

and (x1, y1) is used instead of (h, k).

All the given quadrilaterals in the picture on the right are squares and #1 ≅ #3, #2 ≅ # 4. find the area of the shaded region,
Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a square of side l, its diagonal would be l\sqrt{2}, and its area l^2

If the big square has a area of 900, this implies that its side is \sqrt{900}, so the two diagonal of squares 2 and 4 added together would be \sqrt{900}, therefore one diagonal wold be \frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}. and its side \frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. The area (of one square) is (\frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2=\frac{225}{2}

finally the two areas combined (squares 2 and 4) would be 225

Fill in the table using this function rule<br><br> y=2x+2<br><br> Photo ⬇️
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values of x to the equation y = 2x + 2 and calculate the value of y:

x = 2

y = 2 · 2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

x = 5

y = 2 · 5 + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12

x = 6

y = 2 · 6 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

x = 8

y = 2 · 8 + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

Point C has the coordinates (–1, 4) and point D has the coordinates (2, 0). What is the distance between points C and D? units
maw [93]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation;

We can use the formula for finding the length or magnitude of line joining two points.

Length = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

The points joining the line are C (-1,4) and D (2,0)

Length = √((2+1)² + (0-4)²)

            = √((3²) + (-4)²)

            = √ (9+16)

            = √25

            = 5 units
