Answer:
B.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The two angles form a right angle ( indicated by the little square )
Right angles have a measure of 90 degrees
Hence, x + 10 + 30 = 90
( Note that we just created an equation that we can use to solve for x )
We now solve for x using the equation we created
x + 10 + 30 = 90
Combine like terms
x + 40 = 90
Subtract 40 from both sides
x = 50
You haven't provided expressions, so I can work out the problem for you. When we divide fractions, remember always "keep, switch, flip!" That's what we're gonna do here. We keep the 2/5, switch the sign to multiplication, and flip the 7/8 to 8/7. Therefore, we have 2/5*8/7. That gives us 16/35. Hope this helps!
Perimeter: P=62 feet
P=2(b+h)
62=2(b+h)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
62/2=2(b+h)/2
31=b+h
b+h=31 (1)
Area: A=bh (2)
Isolating h in equation (1)
(1) b+h=31→b+h-b=31-b→h=31-b (3)
Replacing h by 31-b in equation (2)
(2) A=bh
A=b(31-b)
A=31b-b^2
To maximize the area:
A'=0
A'=(A)'=(31b-b^2)'=(31b)'-(b^2)'=31-2b^(2-1)→A'=31-2b
A'=0→31-2b=0
Solving for b:
31-2b+2b=0+2b
31=2b
Dividing both sides by 2:
31/2=2b/2
31/2=b
b=31/2=15.5
Replacing b by 31/2 in equation (3)
h=31-b
h=31-31/2
h=(2*31-31)/2
h=(62-31)/2
h=31/2
The dimensions are 31/2 ft x 31/2 ft = 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft
The area with these dimensions is: A=(15.5 ft)(15.5 ft)→A=240.25 ft^2
These dimensions are not in the options
1) The first option has an area of: A=(18 ft)(13 ft)→A=234 ft^2
2) The second option has an area of: A=(19 ft)(12 ft)→A=228 ft^2
3) The third option has an area of: A=(17 ft)(14 ft)→A=238 ft^2
The third option has the largest area.
Answer: Third option
His mistake was in multiplying the 3 with the 12. He should have divided it from the 12 because that would have gotten rid of the 3 with the variable. It would also lead to the correct answer, which is b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
2) the same value of the denominator of the fractions.
3) 4²*2²=16*4=64 or 4²*2²=(4*2)²=8²=64.
Megan's answer is correct.
4) if the given length is 2,25=9/4 (feet), then the length of each piece is 9/4 :3=3/4=0.75 (feet) or 3/4*12=9 (inches).
5) a. 4-6= -2; b. -4+6=2; c. -4-6= -10, so the required order is c<a<b.
6) A. -8+3= -5; B. -8*3= -24, so the greater value is (-5) - answer A.
7) if to calculate every option, then A. 2.3*6.5=14.95; B. 21.45-6.5=14.95; C. 8.32+6.63=14.95, - all of them are equal.
