Answer:
h=6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 1. The base of a rectangle is three feet longer than its height.
2.Are of the rectangle=54 square meters
Let us say the rectangle has height h and base(breadth) b.
Since, the base of the rectangle is three feet longer than the height, we have b=h+3.
Also, Area of the Rectangle= hb
therefore, 54=h(h+3)
54= h2+ 3h
h2+3h-54=0 (Subtract 54 from both the sides)
To find the value of h we have to solve the quadratic equation.
[We have the equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0, to factorise the equation-
Step1. Find two numbers such that their multiplication is equal to ac and their addition is equal to b.
Step2. Replace b with these numbers.
Step3. Simplify the equation]
So, h2+3h-54=0
h2+9h-6h-54=0
h(h+9)-6(h+9)=0
(h+9)(h-6)=0
Which gives-
h= -9 or h= 6
As h is the height of the rectangle, h can not be -9.
so h=6 feet
and b=h+3=9 feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 6 feet for the height and 9 feet for the base.
The table would be y = 6x
Divide the Y values by the X values and they all equal 6, so you multiply the X value by 6 to get y.
Look at the dots on the graph ( 1,5) (2,10) (3,15) (4,20)
Divide the Y value by the X and they all equal 5, soy = 5x
Answer:
15 is 40% of 37.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b. area = 18 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
area = 1/2 (6+3) + (6-2)
area = 1/2 * 9 * 4
area = 18 square units
therefore the answer is b.
For #32,
P=2L+2W
Subtract 2W from both sides, and swap left and right
2L = P-2W
Divide by 2
2L/2=(P-2W)/2
L = P/2 - 2W/2
L=P/2 - W
For #35
Most of the expenses are in fractions (of the original amount, A), so they can be added:
A/4 + A/5 + 2A/5 + 750 = A
add the fractions, with a common denominator of 20,
5A/20 + 4A/20 + 8A/20 +750 = A
(5A+4A+8A)/20 +750 = A
17A/20 + 750 = A
Now subtract 17A/20 from both sides and swap left and right
A - 17A/20 = 750
(3/20)A = 750
Multiply both sides by 20/3 (to make one unit of A on the left)
(3/20)*(20/3) A = 750*20/3
A =250*20=5000
