The length of a rectangle is twice its width. the perimeter is 60 ft. find its area.

1 answer:

5 0

I hope this helps you

width w

lenght 2w

perimeter =2 (width +length )

60=2 (w+2w)

30=3w

w=10

Area= 2w.w

Area = 2.10.10

Area =200

if an amount of $100 in a savings account increases by 10% , then increases by 10% again, is that the same as increasing by 20%

Elina [12.6K]

100 + 100 * 10/100 = 110

NOW 110 INCREASES BY 10 %, 110 + 110*10/100 = 110+ 11 = 121

INCREASE OF 20 % = 100 + 100*20/100= 100+20 = 120

SO IT IS NOT SAME

Answer:

$30,000\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the population of the city

we know that

using proportion

$\frac{5,400}{18\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}\\ \\x=5,400*100/18\\ \\x=30,000\ people$

What is the direct linear variation equation for the relationship?

defon

$\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ K}}&\cdot&x
\\ \\
&& y={{ K }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{cases}
y=4\\
x=12
\end{cases}\implies y=Kx\implies 4=K\cdot 12$

solve for "K", to see what "K" is, or the "constant of variation",
once you found K, plug it back in y=Kx, and that's the equation

A sound wave enters a new medium where sound travles faster. How does this affect the frequency and wavelength of the sound?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The frequency doesn't change. If the wavespeed increases, then the wavelength must also increase ... It's just the distance the wave travels during each complete wiggle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound waves are a type of mechanical wave which requires a material medium for transmission. The transmission of such waves occurs as a result of vibration of particles in the material medium. The faster the vibration of the particles the higher the speed of the sound waves.

When a sound enters a new medium where the sound travels faster, it means the vibration of particles is high, and the wavelength of the waves increases which means the speed of the wave has increased. The frequency on the other hand will remain constant.

X/3+10=15 I don't know how to solve this I'm confused and don't know where to start

NARA [144]

X/3 +10=15
-10 -10
x/3 =5

so the x will be 15 because if you multiply 3x5 = 15
