a 104 square ft room and a 130 square ft room share a wall. what is the greatest possible integer length of the shared wall

1 answer:

6 0

Since the area of a room is its length times its width, you'll need to find a common width, which will be the greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 130 and 140 is 10. So the shared wall can at most be 10 ft. long.

You start the month with $332.11 in your checking account. You have the following withdrawals during the month: $34.56, $223.00,

sergeinik [125]

In order to get the final value, you would just add and subtract the deposits/withdrawals from the initial amount in your account.

$332.11 - $34.56 - $223.00 - $12.22 + 125.88 + 29.88 = $218.09

Your account balance is $218.09

Need help please on geometry

zimovet [89]

To solve this we are going to use the formula for the area of a circle: $A= \frac{1}{4} \pi d^2$
where
$A$ is the area of the circle
$d$ is the diameter of the circle

We know from our problem that the area of our circle is 10 inches long, so $d=10in$ . Lets replace that value in our formula to find $A$ :
$A=\frac{1}{4} \pi (10in)^2$
$A=78.54in^2$

We can conclude that the correct answer is: 78.54 square inches, or in centimeters: 506.7 square cm.

Find any points of discontinuity for each rational function. Sketch a graph. Describe any verticals or horizontal asympyoyes and

AVprozaik [17]

For
y = (x^2 -4)/((x +2)(x^2 -49))
the numerator factors to (x -2)(x +2), so the factor of (x +2) will cancel with that in the denominator, leaving
y = (x -2)/(x^2 -49)

There are points of discontinuity at the hole, x=-2, and at each of the vertical asymptotes, at x=-7, +7.
The horizontal asymptote is y=0.
