Answer:

Length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five yards longer than the width of the corral. The length of the corral is three times the width.

To find: The length of the diagonal of the corral.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular garden be <em>x</em> yards.

So, the length of the diagonal is x+5

width of the rectangular corral is 3x

We know that the square of the diagonal is sum of the squares of the length and width.

So,

(3x)^{2} +x^{2} =(x+5)^{2}

9x^{2} +x^{2} =x^{2}+10x+25

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^{2} -4(9)(-25)} }{2(9)}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100}}{18}

Since, side can't be negative.

x=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Now, length of the diagonal is

5+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Hence, length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym. She then finds a better deal at another gym, so she cancels her membership wit
valkas [14]

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym.

  • She then finds a better deal at another gym so she cancels her membership with the first gym after x months
  • She spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym
  • The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month
  • She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year

We need to find how much time she spent at each gym

∵ She spent x months in the 1st gym

∵ She spent y months in the 2nd gym

∵ Her course is a year

- There are 12 months in a year

∴ x + y = 12 ⇒ (1)

∵ The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month

∵ The membership to the second gym costs $45 per month

∵ She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course

∴ 75x + 45y = 780 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -45 to eliminate y

∵ -45x - 45y = -540 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 30x = 240

- Divide both sides by 30

∴ x = 8

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 12

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 4

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

A family visits a car show to research information on vehicles they might consider purchasing. Brochures for each vehicle provid
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option A:

Number of seats

Step-by-step explanation:

A discrete quantitative variable is a variable that can be enumerated. This means that they are in units in which numbers can be assigned to and can be counted.

The number of seats present in the car can be counted. This feature can also be evaluated based on its numeral value, rather than its quality. In a simple form, the buyers feel that the more the number of seats present in the car, the more people it can carry. Hence, the family would love to buy a car with a good number of seats in it.

The other features in the options are rather continuous, qualitative, or boolean. Some of them are continuous because they cannot be counted e.g fuel efficiency. The others such as the presence of a sunroof can be seen as a boolean variable. (it can either be true or false)

Type of the transmission is a qualitative variable

GuDViN [60]
2/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract ... 6 muffins
x tablespoons of vanilla extract = ? ... 18 muffins

If you would like to know how much vanilla extract does he need, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x * 6 = 18 * 2/5
x * 6 = 36/5    /6
x = 36/5 / 6
x = 6/5 = 1 1/5

Result: Arthur will need 1 1/5 tablespoons of vanilla extract for 18 muffins.
