Answer:

108 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing by 50% means multiplying the original quantities by 1.5, that is

100% + 50% = 150% = 1.5 ( 100% is the original dimensions ), thus

new length = 1.5 × 8 ft = 12 ft

new width = 1.5 × 6 ft = 9 ft

Thus

Area = length × width = 12 × 9 = 108 ft²

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

24.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

14.5% is 0.145 in decimal and then you multiply it by the weight, and get the answer

0.145x171=24.8 lbs

39. Kate recorded the time it took six children of
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y=-11x+261

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can observe in the image attached, the line that best fits passes through point B and C. That means we can use those point to find the slope of such line.

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

Where B(11,137) and C(12,126)

m=\frac{126-137}{12-11}=-11

So, the slope of the line that best fits is -11, approximately.

Now, we use the point-slope formula to find the equation.

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-137=-11(x-11)\\y=-11x+124+137\\y=-11x +261

Therefore, the line that best fits is y=-11x+261 approximately.

Remember, when we estimate a line for some data on a scatterplot, we are calculating an approximation, that's why we also said "approximately", because the line is an approximation where the majority of point meet.

The distance between the cities Chicago and Toronto is 540 miles. A motorcycle's speed is 48 mph. For a car, it takes 2.25 hours
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

given :

Distance between the cities = 540 miles

Speed of motorcycle =48 mph

TO CALCULATE THE TIME TAKEN BY MOTORCYCLE TO COVER THE TOTAL DISTANCE WE USE THE FORMULA :

\frac{DISTANCE}{SPEED}

By putting given values in the formula we get :

\frac{540}{48}

= 11.25 hours

Now, We are given that for a car to cover the same distance it takes 2.25 hours less than the time taken by motorcycle

⇒ 11.25 hours - 2.25 hours

⇒ 9 hours

Thus , Time taken by car to cover the same distance is 9 hours .

Now to calculate speed of car by using formula:

\frac{distance}{time}

\frac{540}{9}

= 60 mph

Let t be the time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other.

So distance covered by motorcycle in t hours is

speed\times time

= 48t miles

Distance covered by car in t hours is

speed\times time

= 60t miles

⇒ 60t + 48t =540

⇒ 108t = 540

⇒ t= 5 hours

Therefore, time taken to meet if they start moving towards each other is 5 hours.

Solve a triangle when A=15° B=113° and b=7?
JulsSmile [24]

Let us draw a triangle ABC with A=15° ,B=113° and b=7.

Please see the attached image.

We know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Thus, we have

A+B+C=180\\
\\
15+113+C= 180\\
\\
C=62^{\circ}

Apply Sine rule in the triangle ABC, we get

\frac{a}{\sin 15}= \frac{7}{\sin 113}\\
\\
a=\frac{7 \sin 15}{\sin 113}\\
\\
a=1.97\\
\\
\text{Again apply sine rule, we get}\\
\\
\frac{c}{\sin 62}= \frac{7}{\sin 113}\\
\\
c=\frac{7 \sin 62}{\sin 113}\\
\\
c=6.71

Therefore, we have

a=1.97\\
c=6.71\\
C=62^{\circ}
