you could write it as 5:2 & you could also write it as 2:5
Break it up into 2 triangles. base is 4.5, hypotenuse is 9
4.5^2+b^2=8120.25+b^2=81b^2=60.75
h=7.794228634059948
Remark
This is a very interesting question. Draw a line from the origin to where the upper right vertex of the square touches the line. That line has the property that the its equation is y = x. So the "solution" to the point of intersection is the solution of the two equations.
y = x (1)
3x + 4y = 12 (2)
Put x in for y in equation 2
3x + 4x = 12
7x = 12
x = 12/7
x = 1.714
y = 1.714
Problem A
<em><u>x intercept</u></em>
The x intercept occurs when y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
3x = 12 Divide by 3
x = 12/3
x = 4
the x intercept = (4,0)
<em><u>y intercept</u></em>
The y intercept occurs when x =0
3(0) + 4y = 12
4y = 12
y = 12/4
y = 3
y intercept = (0,3)
Problem B
x and y both equal 1.714 so they are also the length of the square's side.
Problem C
See solution above. x =y is the key fact.
x = y = 1.714
1 of 10 is equivalent to 10% because 1/10 is .10 and .10•100% is 10% so the newspapers advertising is higher
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
4 + 5(x + 2) = 7x
4 + 5x + 10 = 7x
5x - 7x = - 4 - 10
- 2x = - 14
- x = - 14/2
- x = - 7
x = 7
