Mathematics

erica [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 12</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔADC and ΔCDB are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:

\dfrac{AD}{DC}=\dfrac{DC}{DB}

We have AD = 16, DC = x, DB = 9. Substitute:

\dfrac{16}{x}=\dfrac{x}{9}            <em>cross multiply</em>

x^2=(16)(9)\to x=\sqrt{(16)(9)}\\\\x=\sqrt{16}\cdot\sqrt9\\\\x=4\cdot3\\\\x=12

The rubber playground mulch is sold in packages that cover 300 square feet each. what expression represents the number of packag
tino4ka555 [31]

The expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

<h3>How to determine the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Area covered = 300 square feet

Number of ends  = 2

So, the total surface area is:

Total surface area = Area covered * Number of ends  

This gives

Total surface area = 300 * 2

Total surface area = 600 square feet

Let the area covered by each package of mulch be x.

So, the number of mulch is

Number = Area covered/area covered by each

This gives

Number = 600/x

Hence, the expression represents the number of packages of mulch that will be needed to cover both rounded ends is 600/x

D = 14

1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d - 1/2
2d + 4*2 = 3d - 6
2d - 3d = -6-8
-d = -14
