15% = 0.15
15.50 * 0.15 = 2.325
15.50 + 2.325 = 17.825
17.825 rounded to $17.83
shorter side : longer side = 3 : 7
Equate 3 parts tp 9 inches:
3 parts = 9 inches
Find 1 part:
1 part = 9 ÷ 3 = 3 inches
Find 7 parts:
7 parts = 3 x 7 = 21 inches
Area = Length x Width = 21 x 9 = 189 in²
Answer: The longer side is 21in and the area is 189 in²
Answer: Where are the options?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The area of the building in terms of y in its simplest form is 12(y + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the area of a rectangle is A = LW where L = length and W = width. From our question, the width of the rectangular building is 3 feet. So, W = 3 feet and its length is 4y + 8 feet. So, L = 4y + 8 feet.
So, the area of the building in terms of y is A = LW
= (4y + 8) × 3
Factorizing out 4 from the expression, we have
= 4(y + 2) × 3
= 12(y + 2)
So, the area of the building in terms of y in its simplest form is 12(y + 2)
