A community is planning to build a rectangular garden.the width of the garden is 27/4 feet and the perimeter of the garden is 37
1 answer:
We know that the width of the garden is = feet = 6.75 feet
and Perimeter of the garden is = 37.5 feet
Also, we know that for a rectangular space perimeter = 2 * (l + w)
⇒ 37.5 = 2 * (l + 6.75)
⇒ 37.5 = 13.5 + 2*l
⇒ 24 = 2*l
⇒ l = 12 feet
Now, we need to determine how much square feet of mulch is required, hence we need to calculate the area of the garden
Area = l * w
⇒ Area = 12 * 6.75
⇒ Area = 81 square feet
Hence, they require 81 square feet of mulch

This seems like a right triangle problem.
So assuming 14 feet is the hypotenuse and 4 feet is a leg of the right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem () to solve for the height of the house, in which we shall name it x.
So, the equation is .
Solve for x:
16+x^{2}= 196
x^{2}= 196-16
x^{2}= 180
x = 6√5 feet
Hope this helps!
Answer: 20 mph
Explanation:
Speed is a physical quantity which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (d) and the time taken (t):
In the first part of the problem, the plane flew a distance of d=400 mi in a time of t=2.5 h. The speed of the plane in this case was the difference between the proper speed of the plane, v, and the speed of the wind, w, since the plane flew opposite to the wind. So we can write:
(1)
During the return trip, the plane flew with a speed (v+w), since the wind was on the tail, and it took 2 hours to cover the same distance:
(2)
So we have two equations with two unknown variables. From (1), we get
Substituting into eq.(2)
So, the speed of the wind was 20 mph.
