A rectangle is 7cm wide and 10cm long. find the length of a diagonal of the rectangle

1 answer:

6 0

This question requires you to use Pythagoras' Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the diagonal and a and b are the width and length of the rectangle

c^2 = 7^2 + 10^2
c^2 = 49 + 100
c^2 = 149
c = sq.root of 149 (as an exact answer) or 12.207 cm (to three decimal places)

Which value of x makes the open sentence true?

xeze [42]

Answer:

x=1/2 or 0.5

B. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add x to both sides

you then get the equation 7=4x+5

Step two: subtract 5 from both sides

you then get the equation 2=4x

Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.

2/4=4x/4x

you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.

An element with mass 490 grams decays by 28.6% per minute. How much of the element is remaining after 16 minutes, to the nearest

agasfer [191]

Answer:

2.2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the compound decay formula shown below to solve this:

$F=P(1-r)^t$

Where

F is the final amount (what we want to find)

P is the present amount (490 grams)

r is the rate of decay, in decimal (28.6% = 28.6/100 = 0.286)

t is the time in minutes (16)

Substituting, we get:

$F=P(1-r)^t\\F=490(1-0.286)^{16}\\F=490(0.714)^{16}\\F=2.2355$

So, after 16 minutes, 2.2355 grams will be remaining.

<em>Rounded to nearest tenth of a gram (1 decimal place) = </em><em>2.2 grams remaining</em>
