Answer:

l = 24ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = lw

360 = (x + 9)(x)

360 = x^2 + 9x

0 = x^2 + 9x - 360

0 = (x + 24)(x - 15)

x ≠ -24 (length cannot be negative)

x = 15

l = 15 + 9

l = 24ft

Find the area of the figure.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

55 sq meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of big triangle 7x5=35/2

but there's two big triangle so 35/2 x 2 =35

area of small triangle 5x4=20/2 10

10 x 2 =20. And then combine 20+35=55

So the area is 55 sq meters.

Answer:

$8,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the store earned $x in December.

Therefore,

Money spent to buy new inventory $=\frac{1}{4} x$

Remaining money $= x - \frac{1}{4} x =\frac{3}{4} x$

Money used to pay bills $=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} x=\frac{3}{8} x$

Money still left over = $3,000

Total money earned in December $= \frac{1}{4} x+ \frac{3}{8} x+3,000$

$\therefore x= \frac{1}{4} x+ \frac{3}{8} x+3,000$

$\therefore x= \frac{2}{8} x+ \frac{3}{8} x+3,000$

$\therefore x= \frac{5}{8} x+ 3,000$

$\therefore x- \frac{5}{8} x=3,000$

$\therefore \frac{8x-5x}{8} =3,000$

$\therefore \frac{3x}{8} =3,000$

$\therefore x =3,000\times \frac {8}{3}$

$\therefore x =1,000\times 8$

$\therefore x =\$8,000$

Thus, total money earned in December is $8,000.

Kite EFGH is inscribed in a rectangle where F and H are midpoints of parallel sides. The area of EFGH is 35 square units. What i

sasho [114]

*see attachment for the figure described

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given the figure attached below, let where FH and EG intercepted be K.

Since FH are midpoints of parallel lines, KE = KG = x.

Given that the area of the kite EFGH = 35 square units, and we know the length of one of the diagonals = HF = KF + KH = 2 + 5 = 7, we can solve for x using the formula for the area of a kite.

Area of kite = ½ × d1 × d2

Where d1 = KH = 7

d2 = EG = KE + KG = x + x = 2x

Area of kite EFGH = 35

THUS:

35 = ½ × 7 × 2x

35 = 1 × 7 × x

35 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

35/7 = x

x = 5

Help a sis out ??

REY [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

let base be b then height h = 2b + 4

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ bh ( b is the base and h the height ) , then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ b(2b + 4) ← distribute parenthesis

A = b² + 2b

When b = 16 , then

A = 16² + 2(16) = 256 + 32 = 288 in²
