Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256

"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W

we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W

distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256

add like terms
16 + 4W = 256

subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240

divide both sides by 4
W = 60

plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now

L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68

therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60

The volumes of two similar square pyramids is 128 and 250 meters respectively. The side length of the smaller pyramid is 8 meter
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Height of bigger square pyramid = 3.072 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equivalent ratios to find the side of the bigger square prism

128:8 = 250:X

X = (250 x 8) ÷ 128 = 15.625

Volume of a square pyramid = a x a x h/3

Hence to evaluate the height

250 = 15.625 x 15.625 x h/3

H = 3.072 meters

You are having a conference call with the CEO of a paper company. You have interpreted the number of trees cut down versus profi
loris [4]
You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order  -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
