The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = wl

We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.

Substitute:

w(w - 4) = 21       <em>use distributive property</em>

(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21

w² - 4w = 21     <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>

w² - 4w - 21 = 0

w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0

w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0

w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0

l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3

<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>

Answer:

1. 34.42 Toneladas

2. 28.640 toneladas

3. 38 toneladas

4.\frac{15}{10} o 1\frac{5}{10}

5.\frac{16}{6} o 2\frac{4}{6}

6.\frac{8}{4} o 2

1.1 Solucioné el problema convirtiendo el .25 en fracción.

2.1 Conviertes el denominador en el mismo buscando el minimo comun multiplo

3.1 0.099

\frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{3}

\frac{2}{3}

0.7

0.75

1.1

\frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Acuerdate que para solucionar las fracciones mixtas solo tienes que dividir el denominador al nominador, por ejemplo en si tienes \frac{10}{3} entonces el 3 cabe 3 veces en el 10, y sobra 1, entonces quedamos que en mixta la fracción sería 3\frac{1}{3}

Entonces una vez que recordamos eso, podemos resolver los problemas de fracciones sin ningún problema vamos a resolver la número 4:

\frac{8}{10} +\frac{7}{10}

Como el denominador es igual, sólo sumamos el nominador:

\frac{8+7}{10}

\frac{15}{10}

Cómo el 10 cabe 1 vez en el 15, tenemos un entero y sobran 5:

1\frac{5}{10}

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

V = 1077.566 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a cylinder, the formula is (area of base) × (height)

or (πr²)(h), simply plug-in the given values:

= (π(7)²)(7)

= (153.938)(7)

V = 1077.566 units²
