Answer = Red portion

Firstly, find out the area of the red portion (the area around the centre).

The three figures around the centre are trapeziums, so use the trapezium area equation.

a + b / 2 x h

4.5 + 5 = 9.5

9.5 / 2 = 4.75

4.75 x 1.5 = 7.125

As there are three trapeziums, times the area by 3.

7.125 x 3 = 21.375

Area of red portion = 21.375
—
Next, find out the area of the blue portion.

As the blue portion is in the centre and the figure at the centre is an equilateral triangle, use the equilateral triangle area equation.

root 3 / 4 x a^2

root 3 / 4 x 5^2 = 10.83 (rounded to 2 d.p)
—
Area of red portion = 21.375

Area of blue portion = 10.83

This means that the red portion has a greater area.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

1024 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side is 32 feet long, so you would have to multiply 32 by 32, assuming all the sides are the same length.

The length of atrain car is 50.6 feet. This is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width. What is the width?

hichkok12 [17]

∗ l = 50.6 ft
∗ w = ?

∗ The length is 50.6 feet. The question is saying that 50.6 is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width.

∗ 6w - 5.8 = 50.6

∗ 6w = 56.4

∗ w = 9.4

Now lets check.

∗ If the length is 5.8 feet less than 6 times the width, and we found 9.4 as the answer, then;
6 times 9.4 - 5.8 should equal 50.6

∗ 6 • 9.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 56.4 - 5.8 = l

∗ 50.6 = l

⋆The width is 9.4 feet⋆

The question is an exponential equation

<h3>What is an exponential equation?</h3>

An exponential equation is a mathematical expression between two quantities in which one variable is raised to a power of the other variable.

Since $4^{x} + 6^{x} = 9^{x}$ ,

Dividing through by 4ˣ, we have

$\frac{4^{x} }{4^{x} } + \frac{6^{x} }{4^{x} } = \frac{9^{x} }{4^{x} } \\1 + (\frac{6}{4})^{x} } = (\frac{9}{4})^{x} } \\1 + (\frac{3}{2})^{x} } = (\frac{3^{2} }{2^{2} })^{x} } \\1 + (\frac{3}{2})^{x} } = (\frac{3}{2})^{2x} }$

Let y = (3/2)ˣ

So,

1 + y = y²

y² - y - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find y,

$y = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

where a = 1 b = -1 and c = -1

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

$y = \frac{-(-1) +/- \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4\times 1 \times (-1)} }{2\times 1}\\= \frac{1 +/- \sqrt{1 + 4} }{2}\\= \frac{1 +/- \sqrt{5} }{2}\\= \frac{1 - \sqrt{5} }{2} or \frac{1 + \sqrt{5} }{2}\\= \frac{1 - 2.236}{2} or \frac{1 + 2.236}{2}\\= \frac{- 1.236}{2} or \frac{3.236}{2}\\= -0.618 or 1.618$

Since y = (3/2)ˣ

Takung logarithm of both sides, we have

㏒y = ㏒(3/2)ˣ

㏒y = x㏒(3/2)

x = ㏒y/㏒(3/2)

x = ㏒y/㏒1.5

Since we do not have logarithm of a negative number, we use y = 1.618.

So, x = ㏒y/㏒1.5

x = ㏒1.618/㏒1.5

x = 0.2090/0.1761

x = 1.19

So, the value of x is 1.19
