Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.
Substitute the known values into the formula:
x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}
Simplify:
<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>
<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>
<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>
<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>
<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>
<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>
<span>x=0 or x=6</span>
<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>
Answer:
15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Their rate together is 1/6 floor per minute.
Her rate alone is 1/10 floor per minute.
His rate is the difference of these:
1/6 - 1/10 = 5/30 -3/30 = 2/30 = 1/15 . . . . floor per minute
It would take Jacob 15 minutes to do it alone.
Hey user!
your answer is here...
laws ( rules ) of reflection are :-
• angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
• the incident ray, Normal ray and reflected ray all lie in same plane.
cheers!!
I divided 5 by 9 and multiplied it by 100 to get the percentage for the probability the horse will win. I got 55.55%. I subtracted 55.55 from 100 and got 44.45% chance of not winning the race.
Let's call L the width of the rectangle and W its width. The area of the rectangle is the product between the length and the width, and we are also told that the area is 300 square meters, so we can write

Moreover, we know that the length is 5 meters longer than the width:

We have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknown variables, L and W. If we substitute the second equation into the first one, we get


which has two solutions: W=-20 and W=15. We can discard the negative solution since it does not have physical meaning, and now we can substitute the value of W into the second equation to find L:

<span>Therefore, the rectangle has width 15 meters and length 20 meters.</span>
