A rectangular folder has a perimeter of 30 inches and an area of 54 square inches. What are the dimensions of the folder?

1 answer:

3 0

We know, perimeter = 2(l + w)
So, 2(l + w) = 30
2l + 2w = 30
Divide the equation 2,
l + w = 15

Now, Area = l * w
l * w = 54

Substitute the value of l from previous equation,
(15-w) * w = 54
15w - w² = 54
w² - 15w + 54 = 0
w² - 6w - 9w + 54 = 0
w(w - 6) -9(w - 6) = 0
(w-6)(w-9) = 0
w = 6 or 9

In short, Your Dimensions would be: 6 × 9 in

Hope this helps!

The sum of the areas of two circles is 80 pie square meters. Find the length of a radius of each circle if one of them is twice

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The radius of the circles are $4\ m$ and $8\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the radius of larger circle

y----> the radius of smaller circle

we know that

$\pi x^{2} +\pi y^{2}=80\pi$

$x^{2} +y^{2}=80$ -----> equation A

Remember that

$x=2y$ -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$(2y)^{2} +y^{2}=80$

$4y^{2} +y^{2}=80$

$5y^{2}=80$

$y^{2}=16$

$y=4\ m$

Find the value of x

$x=2y$

$x=2(4)=8\ m$

therefore

The radius of the circles are $4\ m$ and $8\ m$

Ed's new car has a value of $23,500, but it is expected to depreciate at a rate of 7.5% per year. What is the value of Ed's car

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$13,616

Step-by-step explanation:

For each year we will have to constantly decrease it by 7.5%

23,500 - 7.5%

= 21,737.5

= 21,737.5 - 7.5%

= 20,107.1875

= 20,107.1875 - 7.5%

= 18599.1484375

= 18599.1484375 - 7.5%

= 17204.2123047

= 17204.2123047 - 7.5%

= 15913.8963818

= 15913.8963818 - 7.5%

= 14720.3541532

= 14720.3541532 - 7.5%

= 13616.3275917

Definitively we will get the answer $13,616

Provide reasons for the proof. Given line h is parallel to line k. line j is perpendicular to line h. Prove line j is perpendicu

dusya [7]

Answer: Provided.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given two lines 'h' and 'k' which are parallel to each other. Also, there is another line 'j' that is perpendicular to line 'h'.

We are to prove that line 'j' is perpendicular to line 'k'.

Let, m, n and p be the slopes of lines 'h', 'k' and 'j' respectively.

Now, since line 'h' and 'k' are parallel, so their slopes will be equal. i.e., m = n.

Also, lines 'h' and 'j' are perpendicular, so the product of their slopes is -1. i.e.,

m×p = -1.

Hence, we can write from the above two relations

n×p = -1.

Thus, the line 'j' is perpendicular to line 'k'.

Proved.
