Part A:

Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches

As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches

Perimeter is given as = 54 inches

Perimeter = $2(l+b)$

Equation becomes:

$2(x+3+x)$ =54

$2(2x+3)=54$

Part B:

Solving the equation we get

$4x+6=54$

$4x=54-6$

$4x=48$

$x=12$

Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches

Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches

Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

940.8 N

1254.4 N

Step-by-step explanation:

I would think the questions would be to calculate the forces at the top of the cube and at the sides. Thus:

On the top:

F = pressure * area

P = density * gravity * height

the height would be:

1m - 0.4m = 0.6m

replacing:

P = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.6 = 5880

A = (0.4) ^ 2 = 0.16

F = 5880 * 0.16

F = 940.8 N

On the sides:

dF = d * g * h * dA

dA = 0.4 * dh replacing

dF = 1000 * 9.8 * h * 0.4 * dh

dF = 3920 * h * dh

We integrate both sides and we have:

F = 3920 * (h ^ 2/2), h = 0.6 up to h = 1

F = (3920/2) * (1 ^ 2 - 0.6 ^ 2)

F = 1254.4 N

The drama club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $5.50 and bags of cookies c

vaieri [72.5K]

Let's assume

the number of bags of candy =x

the number of bags of cookies =y

There were 5 more bags of cookies sold than candy

so, we get

$y=x+5$

Bags of candy cost $5.50

so, total cost of candy is

$=5.50x$

bags of cookies cost $3.50

so, total cost of cookies is

$=3.50y$

so,

total cost = (total cost of candy)+(total cost of cookies)

we get

total cost =5.50x+3.50y

so, we can plug

$5.50x+3.50y=53.50$

now, we can plug y

$5.50x+3.50(x+5)=53.50$

$5.5x\cdot \:10+3.5\left(x+5\right)\cdot \:10=53.5\cdot \:10$

$55x+35\left(x+5\right)=535$

$55x+35x+175=535$

$90x+175=535$

$90x+175-175=535-175$

$90x=360$

$x=4$

now, we can find y

$y=x+5$

$y=4+5$

$y=9$

so,

the number of bags of candy =4

the number of bags of cookies =9............Answer
