The area of a square carpet tile is 900 square centimeters. What is the length of one edge of the tile in centimeters

1 answer:

8 0

Let the side of one edge of tile = a cm.

So area of tile = (side)^2 = $a^2$

But area of tiles = 900 square centimeter.

So $a^2 = 900$

$a = \sqrt{900}$
$= 30$

So side of one edge of tile is = 30 cm

Last year the depth of the river was 4.2 feet deep. This year it dropped 25%. Find the depth of the river this year to cross it.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's recognize what we need to find: the depth of the river

We know last year the river was 4.2 feet deep, but it dropped 25%. This means we also need to find how much it dropped. To find this, we need to know what 25% of 4.2 is. Write an equation for this.

y = 25% of 4.2

y = 0.25 • 4.2

y = 1.05

This means that the river dropped 1.05 feet. To know its depth now, we need to subtract 1.05 from 4.2. Write an equation for this.

d = 4.2 - 1.05

d = 3.15

The river is 3.15 feet deep.

Hope this helps!

Brad has eight more nickels than quarters. Altogether he has $6.10. how many of each does he have

wlad13 [49]

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610 Eqn 1

y = x+8 Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

$25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570$

Dividing both sides by 30

$\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19$

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

$y=19+8\\y=27$

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

State whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular,or neither.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal.

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1

We also know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

$y=mx+b$

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the lines

y = 6х - 3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 6х - 3:

m₁=6

y = - 1/6x + 7

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = - 1/6x + 7:

m₂=-1/6

m₁ × m₂ = -1

6 × - 1/6 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines y = 6х - 3 and y = - 1/6x + 7 are perpendicular.

y = 3x + 2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3x + 2:

m₁=3

2y = 6x - 6

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=3x-3

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=3x-3:

m₂=3

As the slopes of y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 3 = 3

Thus, the lines y = 3x + 2 and 2y = 6x - 6 are paralle.

8x - 2y = 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = 4x - 3/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 4x - 3/2:

m₁=4

x + 4y = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=-1/4x-1/4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=-1/4x-1/4:

m₂=-1/4

m₁ × m₂ = -1

4 × - 1/4 = -1

-1 = -1

Thus, the lines 8x - 2y = 3 and x + 4y = - 1 are perpendicular.

3x+2y = 5

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -3/2x + 5/2

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -3/2x + 5/2:

m₁=-3/2

3y + 2x = - 3

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y = -2/3x - 1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = -2/3x - 1:

m₂=-2/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.

y - 5 = 6x

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x+5

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x+5:

m₁=6

y - 6x = - 1

simplifying to write in slope-intercept form

y=6x-1

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y=6x-1:

m₂=6

As the slopes of y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are equal.

i.e. m₁ = m₂ → 6 = 6

Thus, the lines y - 5 = 6x and y - 6x = -1 are paralle.

y = 3х + 9

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 3х + 9:

m₁=3

y = -1/3x - 4

Comparing with y=mx+b, the slope of y = 1/3x - 4:

m₂=1/3

As m₁ and m₂ are neither equal nor their product is -1, hence the lines neither perpendicular nor parallel.
