Plz help me i can't solve this

The perimeter of a rectangle is no more than 24cm. The two opposite sides are each 4 cm long. What are the possible lengths of t

Klio2033 [76]

if two opposite sides are 4cm each then their total length is 8cm. If the total length is 24cm then to work out the possible lengths of the other two sides you subtract 8 from 24 which gives you 16. A rule in rectangles is that opposite sides are equal so each remaining side would have a length of 16/2 which is 8. To get all the possible answers you have to go through all the possible perimeters (assuming all perimeters have to be whole numbers) between 24(max) and 9(min) and do those steps.

a dock is 5 feet above water. suppose you stand on the edge of the dock and pull a rope to a boat at a constant rate of 2 ft/s.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The boat is approaching the dock at a speed of 3.20 ft/s when it is 4 feet from the dock.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the situation described is shown in the attached image.

The distance of the boat to the dock along the water level at any time is x

The distance from the person on the dock to the boat at any time is y

The height of the dock is 5 ft.

These 3 dimensions form a right angle triangle at any time with y being the hypotenuse side.

According to Pythagoras' theorem

y² = x² + 5²

y² = x² + 25

(d/dt) y² = (d/dt) (x² + 5²)

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt) + 0

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt)

When the boat is 4 ft from dock, that is x = 4 ft,

The boat is being pulled at a speed of 2 ft/s, that is, (dy/dt) = 2 ft/s

The speed with which the boat is approaching the dock = (dx/dt)

Since we are asked to find the speed with which the boat is approaching the dock when the boat is 4 ft from the dock

When the boat is 4 ft from the dock, x = 4 ft.

And we can obtain y at that point.

y² = x² + 5²

y² = 4² + 5² = 16 + 25 = 41

y = 6.40 ft.

So, to the differential equation relation

2y (dy/dt) = 2x (dx/dt)

when x = 4 ft,

y = 6.40 ft

(dy/dt) = 2 ft/s

(dx/dt) = ?

2 × 6.40 × 2 = 2 × 4 × (dx/dt)

25.6 = 8 (dx/dt)

(dx/dt) = (25.6/8) = 3.20 ft/s.

Hope this Helps!!!

In a car lot, the ratio of the number of new cars to the number of preowned cars is 6 to 5. The total number of new and preowned

Mandarinka [93]

So the lot has (6/(6+5))*100 percent of new cars and 66*(6/11)*100 percent = 36 new cars before the sale, hence 66-36 =30 preowned cars before sale. After the sale it’s 32 new cars and 28 preowned so 32/28 makes it 8/7

A positive integer is twice another.the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is 3/14. Find the integers

icang [17]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{14\ \text{and}\ 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$n,\ m-\text{positive integer}\\\\n=2m-\text{a positive integer is twice another}\\\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}-\text{the sum of the reciprocal of the two positive integer is }\ \dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\text{We have the system of equations:}\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}n=2m&(1)\\\dfrac{1}{n}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}&(2)\end{array}\right$

$\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1}{m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{1\cdot2}{m\cdot2}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2m}+\dfrac{2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{1+2}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\\\\\dfrac{3}{2m}=\dfrac{3}{14}\Rightarrow2m=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2m}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\\boxed{m=7}$
