Answer:

width is 6 ft, length is 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up 2 equations to help us solve this.  

Equation 1:  "The area is 144 square feet"  gives us

                 LW = 144  (area of a rectangle)

Equation 2:  "the width is 1\4 of the length" give us

                 W = L/4            

We can plug the second equation into the first equation...

  Since W = L/4, we get

     L(L/4) = 144      (W becomes L/4)

 

Now solve for L

 L²/4 = 144

 

     L² = 624    (multiply both sides by 4)

        L = 24 ft    (take the square root of each side)

Since L = 24, and W = L/4,

  W = 24/6,    so W = 6 ft

The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?
Mkey [24]

<em>Question:</em>

The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3 : 2. What is the measure of the larger angle?

—————

<em>Solution:</em>

Call those two angles  x  and  y, where  x  is the larger one.

If they are complementary, then their sum equals  90°:

x + y = 90°      (i)


Also, the ratio between  x  and  y  is  3 : 2, so

  x           3
——  =  ——
  y           2


Product of the extremes = product of the means:

2x = 3y

2x – 3y = 0        (ii)


Now, just solve this system of equations:

  x  +  y = 90°         (i)
2x – 3y =   0          (ii)


Solve it with elimination. Since you want to know the value of the larger angle, which is  x, then eliminate the variable  y  by doing the following:

Multiply the equation  (i)  by  3,

3x + 3y = 270°        (iii)
2x – 3y =     0          (ii)


then add both equations, so you cancel out the variable  y:

3x + 2x + 3y – 3y = 270° + 0

3x + 2x = 270°

5x = 270°

         270°
x  =  ———
           5

x = 54°    <———  this is the measure of the larger angle.


I hope this helps. =)

The radius, R, of a sphere, is 6.3cm. Calculate the sphere's volume, V.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

V = 1046.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for volume is (4/3)pi r^3

substitute 3.14 in for pi and 6.3 in for r so (4/3)*3.14*6.3^3
