Let x = Initial Price

If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x

Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x

If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x

0.05x = 2.30

x = 2.30/0.05

x = 46

Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46

You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30

The perimeter of a triangle is 47 feet. One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side. The third side is four
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The lengths of all three sides (in feet) are = 15, 14, and 18 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of Triangle = 47ft

Let the one side be 'x'

<em>Side 1 = x</em>

One side of the triangle is one foot longer than the second side

<em>Side 2 = x - 1</em>

<em>The third side is four feet longer than the second side</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em />

<em>Perimeter = sum of all sides</em>

<em>47 = x + (x - 1) + (x - 1) + 4</em>

<em>47 = x + x - 1 + x - 1 + 4</em>

<em>47 = 3x + 2</em>

<em>47 - 2 = 3x</em>

45 = 3x

<u>x = 15</u>

substitute for x in each of the sides

<em>Side 1 = x                   => </em><em>15 feet</em>

<em>Side 2 = x - 1              => 15 - 1 = </em><em>14 feet</em>

<em>Side 3 = (x - 1) + 4      => 14 + 4 = </em><em>18 feet</em>

Kay [80]

Shaded area = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the square – area of the equilateral triangle. This can be obtained by finding each shaded area and then adding them.

<h3>Find the expression for the area of the shaded regions:</h3>

From the question we can say that the Hexagon has three shapes inside it,

  • Pentagon
  • Square
  • Triangle

Also it is given that,

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square inside a regular pentagon inside a regular hexagon.

From this we know that equilateral triangle is the smallest, then square, then regular pentagon and then a regular hexagon.

A pentagon is shown inside a regular hexagon.

  • Area of first shaded region = Area of the hexagon - Area of pentagon

An equilateral triangle is shown inside a square.

  • Area of second shaded region = Area of the square - Area of equilateral triangle  

The expression for total shaded region would be written as,

Shaded area = Area of first shaded region + Area of second shaded region

Hence,        

⇒ Shaded area  = area of the hexagon – area of the pentagon + area of the  square – area of the equilateral triangle.

1. A right triangle is shown below. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the lengths of each side. Phythagorean Theorem: a2
erik [133]
This may not be very pretty.
(2x + 5) * (2x + 5) expanded is (use foil)
F = 4x^2
O = 2x * 5 = 10x
I = 2x + 5 = 10x
L = 25
Total = 4x^2 + 20x + 25

(x + 3)(x + 3) = x^2 + 6x + 9 by the same method

 (2x + 7)(2x + 7) = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Same method.

4x^2 + 20x + 25 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49
5x^2 + 26x + 34 = 4x^2 + 28x + 49 Collect everything on the left.
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 3) = 0
x + 3 will have no meaning.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5

2x + 5 = 2*5 + 5 = 15
x + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
2x+ 7 = 2*5 +7 = 17

Check
15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2
225 + 64 = ? 289
289 = 289

a = 15 <<<<< answer
b = 8 <<<<< answer
c = 17 <<<<< answer
