Answer:

Side of the square paper = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square paper is having measure of each side = a inches

Esther cut this square piece into two pieces.

Let the other side of one rectangle piece = x inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2(a + x) inches

Similarly dimensions of the other rectangular piece will be = a inches × (a - x) inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2[a + (a - x)]

Since both the rectangular pieces have the same perimeter = 63

So, 2(a + x) = 2[a + (a - x)] = 63

2(a + x) = 2(2x - x)

a + x = 2a - x

2a - a = 2x

a = 2x

x = \frac{a}{2}

Therefore, Perimeter = 2(a + x) = 2(a + \frac{a}{2}) = 63

2\times \frac{3a}{2} = 63

3a = 63

a = 21

Therefore, measure of the sides of the square is 21 inches.

How long will it take $5500 to grow to $7400 at an interest rate of 5% it the interest is compounded continuouslyRound the numbe
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

 5.93 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The continuous compounding formula tells you the amount after t years will be ...

  A = Pe^(rt) . . . . principal P compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years

  7400 = 5500e^(0.05t)

  ln(7400/5500) = 0.05t . . . . divide by 5500, take natural logs

  t = 20×ln(74/55) ≈ 5.93

It will take about 5.93 years for $5500 to grow to $7400.

From a hot-air balloon, Juan measures a 36° angle of depression to a landmark that's
Masja [62]

Using the slope concept, it is found that the balloon's vertical distance above the ground is of 437.4 feet.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

The slope is given by the <u>vertical change divided by the horizontal change</u>, and it's also the tangent of the angle of depression.

In this problem:

  • The vertical change is x.
  • The horizontal change is of 602 ft.
  • The angle is of 36º.

Hence, applying the concept:

tan (36º) = x/602

x = 602 x tan(36º)

x = 437.4.
