Answer:  The side lengths of mirror and painting are 7 ft and 9 ft respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a square mirror has sides measuring 2 ft less than the sides of a square painting and the difference between their areas is 32 ft.

We are to find the lengths of the sides of the mirror and the painting.

Let x ft represents the length of the side of mirror. Then, the side length of square painting is (x+2) ft.

According to the given information, we have

\textup{area of painting}-\textup{area of mirror}=32\\\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2-x^2=32\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+4x+4-x^2=32\\\\\Rightarrow  4x=28\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{28}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow x=7.

Therefore, the side length of mirror is 7 ft and the side length of painting is (7+2) = 9 ft.

Thus, the side lengths of mirror and painting are 7 ft and 9 ft respectively.

Gabriella swims 2 laps per minute. What is the associated rate? ___ minute per lap
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Gabriella swims 2 laps for 1 minute. So in order to find how many minutes did he swim for each lap, you have to divide it by 2 :

2 laps = 1 minute

2 laps ÷ 2 = 1 minute ÷ 2

1 lap = 1/2 minute

= 30 seconds

Test :

Gabriella swim 1/2 min per lap. So if he swim 2 laps, you have to multiply it by 2 :

1/2 × 2 = 1 minute

Leanne Raymond Montel and Emily body gift for their soccer coach the total cost of the gift including tax was $55.80 Montel paid
Flauer [41]

Solution: The total cost of the gift including the tax = $55.80

The amount paid by Montel = $14

The amount paid by Raymond is

\frac{1}{3} \times 55.80

18.6

Therefore, Raymond paid $18.6

The amount paid by Emily is

25% of 55.80

0.25 \times 55.80 = 13.95

Therefore, Emily paid $13.95

We also know that the remaining amount is paid by Leanne.

Therefore, the remaining amount is:

Total amount - Amount paid by Montel, Raymond and Emily

55.80 -(14+18.6+13.95)

55.80 - 46.55

9.25

The amount paid by Leanne is $9.25

We clearly see, Raymond has paid $18.6, which is the greatest part of the cost $55.80
