Pythagoras is planting a rose garden in the center of his rectangular yard, which is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. He wants to d

ig up an area in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides 5 feet each. After he digs up the rose-bed section, approximately how much grass will be left? Round to the nearest foot.

The remaining area that the grass will cover will be given by:
Area=[area of rectangle]-[area of the triangle]
area of rectangle will be:
A1=length*width
=20*8
=160 square feet

The area of the triangle will be:
A2=1/2absin theta
since the triangle is equilateral, all the angles are equal and the size of each angle is 60°. Thus the area will be:
A2=1/2*5*5sin 60
=18.3
thus the remaining area of the grass will be:
Area=160-18.3
=149.7 square feet

The measures of two complementary angles are m angle 1 = (10x+7) and m angle 2=(9x-12) find the measures of both angles
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

m<1 = 57°

m<2 = 33°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the numerical measure of both angles, let's come up with an equation to determine the value of x.

Given that m<1 = (10x +7)°, and m<2 = (9x - 12)°, where both are complementary angles, therefore, it means, both angles will add up to give us 90°.

Equation we can generate from this, is as follows:

(10x + 7)° + (9x - 12)° = 90°

Solve for x

10x + 7 + 9x - 12 = 90

Combine like terms

19x - 5 = 90

Add 5 to both sides

19x = 90 + 5 (addition property not equality)

19x = 95

Divide both sides by 19

x = 5

m<1 = (10x +7)°

Replace x with 5

m<1 = 10(5) + 7 = 50 + 7 = 57°

m<2 = (9x - 12)

Replace x with 5

m<2 = 9(5) - 12 = 45 - 12 = 33°

Every 2.5 hours, a machine produces 150 baskets.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

We use unit rate function,

Let h be hours

Let b be baskets

2.5h = 150b

We divide both sides by 2.5

2.5h/2.5 = 150b/2.5

Which will give us

h = 60
