<h2>Answer with Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 180 square feet.

Its length is 8 feet longer than the width.

Let  w be the width of wall of barn

then, Length of wall of barn=w+8

we know that area of rectangle=Length×width

so, (w+8)w=180

w²+8w=180

w²+8w-180=0

w²+18w-10w-180=0

w(w+18)-10(w+18)=0

(w-10)(w+18)=0

either w-10=0  or w+18=0

w=10 or w= -18

w= -18 not possible

so, w=10

w+8=18

So, Length of wall of barn= 18 feet

and Width of wall of barn= 10 feet

Mark earned $240 in the first week and earns $680 in the fifth week. How much will he earn in the 20th week (suppose his earning
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

$ 2330

Step-by-step explanation:

a = $240

Earning at the end of fifth week = $ 680

increase in earnings per weak = ( 680 -240)/2     = 440/2 =110

d =110

l = a + (n-1)d

a20 = 240 + (19 * 110 ) = 240 + 2090 =   2330

The parabolic arch of a bridge over a one-way road can be described by the equation y = -x^2 + 6, where x and y ar emeasured in
Vladimir [108]
So check the picture below

if we check the solutions or zeros for the equation, we get \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 0=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{6}

and as you can see in the picture, the value of "x" when y = 3.5, or the height of the truck is  \bf y=-x^2+6\implies 3.5=-x^2+6\implies x=\pm \sqrt{2.5}

the truck, ends up with a clearance of \bf \sqrt{2.5}-1.5 on either side, so, the maximum clearance, the truck can have, those two clearances added together, \bf 2(\sqrt{2.5}-1.5)

. Mrs. Rojas deposited $8000 into an account paying 4% interest annually. After 8 months Mrs. Rojas withdrew the $6000 plus inte
Mashcka [7]

well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\to \frac{8}{12}\dotfill &\frac{2}{3} \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(\frac{2}{3})]\implies A=6000\left( \frac{77}{75} \right)\implies A=6160

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.

what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(1)]\implies A=6240

so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{for 8 months}}{160}}{\underset{\textit{for 12 months}}{240}}\implies \cfrac{2}{3}

Which fraction has the same value as 0.6
Zinaida [17]

Using the place value chart we can see that the decimal 0.6 is six tenths, so we can write 0.6 as the fraction \frac{6}{10}. Notice however that \frac{6}{10} is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 10 which is 2.

HELP What is the area of a circle with a radius of 13 feet? IT IS NOT 530.93 ft ​
NeTakaya

Answer:

530.66

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the area you need to do pi times the radius square and to find the radius squared you just times it by its self so 13 times 13 which is 169 and pi is 3.14

so now you just do 3.14x169=530.66
