Answer:

The perimeter of rectangle is 18\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

x=y+5 ----> equation A

120=xy+2x^{2}+2y^{2} ---> equation B (area of the constructed figure)

substitute the equation A in equation B

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}

120=(y+5)y+2(y+5)^{2}+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2(y^{2}+10y+25)+2y^{2}\\ 120=y^{2}+5y+2y^{2}+20y+50+2y^{2}\\120=5y^{2}+25y+50\\5y^{2}+25y-70=0

using a graphing calculator -----> solve the quadratic equation

The solution is

y=2\ cm

Find the value of x

x=y+5 ----> x=2+5=7\ cm

Find the perimeter of rectangle

P=2(x+y)=2(7+2)=18\ cm

The question is, "Find the volume of the bodies given in the figures below, which have a hole along their entire length." How do
aniked [119]

Answer:

1782 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you measure the volume of the cuboid as a whole which is length x breadth x height, 9 x 12 x 18 = 1944 cm³. Then measure the volume occupied by the space, 3 x 3 x 18 since the hole runs along the entire length = 162 cm³.

Then you subtract the volume occupied by the hole from the volume of the cuboid in total, 1944 - 162 = 1782 cm³

The market sells 1 dozen bagels
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

market

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Market</u>

1 dozen bagels = 12 bagels

⇒ Cost per bagel = $7.00 ÷ 12 = $0.58 (nearest cent)

<u>Bagel shop</u>

Cost per bagel = $0.60

As  $0.58 < $0.60 the market is a better buy
