Answer:

It will take approximately 9.3 weeks for Kevin to lose the

Step-by-step explanation:

current weight  of Dog = 78 pounds

Required weight to be shed off = 14 pounds

weight lost in 1 week = 1.5 pounds

Let the number of weeks required to lose 14 pounds be w.

Assuming that the rate of weight loss per week is constant

(weight lost in 1 week) × (number of weeks) = 14 pounds

1.5 × w = 14

w = 14 ÷ 1.5 = 9.3 weeks

Therefore it will take approximately 9.3 weeks for Kevin to lose the weight

A ladder is placed against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 12 feet above the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 f
Colt1911 [192]
This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft

Here is a rectangle which has a width of x cm. x cm
miskamm [114]

Answer:

278.25 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width of the rectangle is x (cm), as the length is 8cm longer, so that the length of the rectangle is: x + 8 (cm).

In the attached image, we can see the length of each side. Total length of the sides are 90 cm.

=> (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x+8) + (x + x + 8) + x + 8 + (x +8) = 90

=> 8x + 48 = 90

=> 8x = 90 - 48 = 42

=> x =42/8 = 5.25 (cm)

=> The width of the rectangle is 5.25cm

=> The length of the rectangle is: 5.25 + 8 = 13.25 cm

=> The area of one rectangle is: Length x Width = 5.25 x 13.25 = 69.5625 cm2

As the 8-sided shape is made from 4 rectangles, so that:

Area of 8 sided shape = 4 x Area of the rectangle = 4 x 69.5625 = 278.25 cm2
