Answer:

Perimeter = 40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 16 inches

Width = 25% of length (16)

= 25% of 16

25% = 1/4

Width = 1/4 x 16

= 4 inches

Length = 16 inches

Width = 4 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = length + length + width + width:

= 16 + 16 + 4 + 4

= 32 + 8

= 40

PERIMETER = 40 inches

So glad I could help :)

Suppose that the cost of drilling x feet for an oil well is C=f(x) dollars. a) What are the units of f'(x)? b) In practical term

antiseptic1488 [7]

A. The term "units" refers to the measurements in the original question or problem. When looking at the question, the units we are measuring are dollars/feet.
B. In this case, the f'(x) means we are looking for the cost (in dollars) to drill the next foot down.
C. Since the cost increases the more feet we drill down, the sign of f'(x) is positive.

Find the total area the regular pyramid.

Ber [7]

Answer: $14\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You must apply the following formula for calculate the total surface area the regular pyramid:

$SA=\frac{pl}{2}+B$

Where p is the perimeter of the base, l is the slant height and B is the area of the base.

2. The perimeter is, where s is the side length:

$p=3s=3*4=12$

3. The faces are isosceles traingles. So, to find the slant height you can divide one base into two equal right triangles and calculate the slant height with Pythagorean Theorem:

$l=\sqrt{4^2-2^2}=2\sqrt{3}$

4. The base is equal to any face, then both have equal areas. As previously you divide one base into two equal righ triangle to find the slant height, you can calcualte the area of one right triangle and multply it by 2 to calculate B:

$B=2*\frac{bh}{2}=2*\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2}=2\sqrt{3}$
