Perimeter of square, 4a = 120

a = 30

diagonal = a√2 = 30√2 yards  OR  42.3 yards

Answer:

The length of the diagonal of the playground is approximately 42.42 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the playground is square we know the formula for its perimeter: P=4l, where l stands for the length of the side of the playground. By the statement of the problem we know that P=4l=120 yd, then it is not difficult to find that l=30 yards.

If we trace the diagonal we see that a right triangle is formed, where the diagonal is its hypotenuse, and its sides are the sides of the playground. Then, using Pythagoras theorem (we denote by d the length of the diagonal), we have

d = \sqrt{30^2+30^2} = \sqrt{1800}\approx 42.42.

Thus, the diagonal has (approximately) 42.42 yards.

Andrew is riding his bike. He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 7 miles per hour. Using the distance formula, d = rt, so
rusak2 [61]

The computation shows that the time taken is 120 minutes.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information, Andrew is riding his bike and he biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 7 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken for 14 miles will be:

= 14/7

= 2 hours

= 2 × 60 = 120 minutes

The time taken is 120 minutes.

Brad says that if a second number is 125% of the first number, then the first number must be 75% of the second number. Is he cor
olga55 [171]

Answer: He is not correct.

Steps:

Let x1 and x2 be the first and second number, respectively.

x_2 = \frac{5}{4}x_1\\\frac{4}{5}x_2 =x_1

In words, if the second is 125%, or 5/4 of the first number (first equation),

then the first is 4/5 of the second, which is 0.8 or 80%.

The elevator at the state capital has a maximum weight capacity of 2000 pounds. If there are 3
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum capacity of the elevator = 2000 pounds

Combined weight of the elevator = 428 pounds

A). Let the possible weights that can be added to the elevator = w pounds

B). Therefore, inequality representing this situation will be,

    428 + w < 2000

C). By solving the given inequality,

    (428 + w) - 428 < 2000 - 428

    w < 1572 pounds

    Now we draw this inequality on a number line.

What is the maximum value of the objective function, P, with the given constraints?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Option C - 420

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Objective function, P, with the given constraints

P=20x+35y

Constraints,

x+y \leq 12

5x+y \leq 20\\x \geq 0\\y \geq 0

To find : What is the maximum value

Solution :

First we plot the graph through the given constrains.

As they all move towards the origin the common region of the equations is given by the points (0,0), (0,12), (2,10), (4,0)

Refer the attached figure.

So, we put all the points in P to, get maximum value.

P=20x+35y

  • Point (0,0)

P=20(0)+35(0)=0

P=20x+35y

  • Point (0,12)

P=20(0)+35(12)=420

  • Point (2,10)

P=20(2)+35(10)=40+350=390

  • Point (4,0)

P=20(4)+35(0)=80

Therefore, The value is maximum 420 at (0,12)

So, Option C is correct.
