The area of a parallelogram is 60 feet the height 5 feet how long is the base

1 answer:

5 0

Hello!

We have to use a certain formula to find the area of a parallelogram. The formula is:

A = bh

Since we already have the area and the base of the parallelogram, we will be able to find the height!

Notice how we multiply the base by the height to find the area? Well, we'll have to do the opposite to find one of its dimensions.

What's the opposite of multiplication? Division!

Formula for base:

B = A ÷ h

Substitute:

B = 60 ÷ 5

B = 12

ANSWER:

The base is 12 feet long.

Good Day!

Bill can hit a bucket of 323 gold balls in 17 hours.

It is important to clearly understand all the important information's already given in the question. Based on those details the answer to the question can be easily determined.
In 17 hours the number of golf balls hit by Bill = 323
Then
In 1 hour the number of golf balls hit by Bill = (323/17) * 1
= 19
So
The number of golf balls hit by Bill in 23 hours = 23 * 19
= 437
So 437 balls will be hit by Bill in 23 hours. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. This procedure will help you to solve similar problems in future without requiring any outside help.

$\bf \left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\qquad \qquad 
a^{{{ n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{ n}}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\left( 2^8\cdot 3^{-5}\cdot 6^0 \right)^{-2}\left( \cfrac{3^{-2}}{2^3} \right)^4\cdot 2^{28}\impliedby \textit{let's do the first group}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
$

$\bf \left( 2^8\cdot \cfrac{1}{3^5}\cdot 1 \right)^{-2}\implies \left( \cfrac{2^8}{3^5} \right)^{-2}\implies \left( \cfrac{3^5}{2^8} \right)^{2}\implies \cfrac{3^{2\cdot 5}}{2^{2\cdot 8}}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{3^{10}}{2^{16}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{now the second group}\qquad \left( \cfrac{3^{-2}}{2^3} \right)^4\implies \left( \cfrac{\frac{1}{3^2}}{2^3} \right)^4\implies \left( \cfrac{1}{2^3\cdot 3^2} \right)^4$

$\bf \cfrac{1^4}{2^{4\cdot 3}\cdot 3^{4\cdot 2}}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{1}{2^{12}\cdot 3^8}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{so we end up with\qquad }\cfrac{3^{10}}{2^{16}}\cdot \cfrac{1}{2^{12}\cdot 3^8}\cdot 2^{28}\implies \cfrac{3^{10}\cdot 2^{28}}{2^{16}\cdot 2^{12}\cdot 3^8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3^{10}\cdot 2^{28}}{2^{16+12}\cdot 3^8}\implies \cfrac{3^{10}\cdot 2^{28}}{2^{28}\cdot 3^8}\implies 3^{10}\cdot 2^{28}\cdot 2^{-28}\cdot 3^{-8}$

$\bf 3^{10-8}\cdot 2^{28-28}\implies 3^2\cdot 1\implies 3^2\implies 9$

Answer:

11) to know the 20% of 70$ we need to 70÷100×20 = 14 now the sale price will ne 70-14$ = 56$

12) same 20% of 92= 92÷100×20= 18.4 $ so now original price= 92+18.4 = 110.4

13) same 40% of 30$ = 30÷100×40 = 12$ now selling price = 30-12$= 18$
