well, 6.2% of 4,300 can't be over half. she has made a calculation error, and the real answer is (this is where the mistake was made) 4,300 * 0.062 (not 6.2, because percents are always divided by 100 to make them into a usable number), which is equal to $266.60.

What must you assume when you use a rate for a prediction? (Please Help!! I'm in 6th grade and this is math.)
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

For anything to do with force you have to assume an even amount of force is spread out evenly. But for things like growing rate you have all those variables so you can't assume a constant growing rate like acceleration.

Step-by-step answer:

Given:

A triangle

Perimeter  = 60 cm

longest side = 4* shortest side (x)

Solution:

longest side = 4x

shortest side = x

third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x

The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle.  Hence

x + y > 4x

x + 60-5x > 4x

60 - 4x > 4x

8x < 60

x < 60/8 = 7.5, or

x < 7.5

Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.

Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.

40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.

Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need

4x>=y

or

4x >= 60-5x

9x >=60

x >= 6.67

so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.

The only valid option is x=7 cm

The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,

(7, 25, 28)

5, 20, 35  (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)

A construction worker needs to put a rectangular window in the side of a building. He knows from measuring that the top and bott
Sliva [168]

Answer: 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation: A rectangle is a quadrilateral with 4 sides. The opposite sides are parallel and have the same length.

Top and bottom of the window are opposite, so they have the same measure of 3 feet.

One length of the window is 5 feet. Since the last side is opposite to the length of the window, it has the same length, i.e., its value is 5 feet.
