Answer:

The width of the building is 50 lamps and 60 lamps will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is computed by the sum of the sides of the building, since the length and width are equal on the oposite sides of the building, the perimeter is given by:

perimeter = 2*length + 2*width

900 = 2*(400) + 2*width

2*width + 800 = 900

2*width = 900 - 800

2*width = 100

width = 100/2 = 50 feets

To know how many lights bulbs will be needed we need to take the perimeter of the building and divide it by the space between the lamps. We have:

number o lamps = 900/15 = 60 lamps

Answer:

The width is 50 feet.

60 lights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2*L + 2*W,

where P is the perimeter, L is the length and W is the width.

Using this formula, we have that:

900 = 2*400 + 2*W

2*W = 100 -> W = 50 feet

If we use one light for every 15 feet around the building, we can find the total number of lights using rule of three:

15 feet -> 1 light

900 feet -> X lights

15/900 = 1/X

X = 900/15 = 60 lights

A dog and a cat are 200 meters apart when they see each other. The dog can run at a speed of 30 meter per second, while the cat
LenKa [72]

Answer:

They'll meet after 200 meters , if they simultaneously start running towards each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x =distance travelled by dog and 200-x be the distance travelled by cat. Inorder to meet, the sum of their travelled distances shall be equal to 200 meters as they are far apart by 200 meters.

Dog: Distance =Speed x time: x=30t

Cat: Distance = 200-x

=24t

The sum of their distance travelled shall be 200 meters: 30t+ 24t= 200;54t=200;t=200/54=3.7secs

So they will meet after 3.7 seconds

To check:

Distance travelled by dog :x=30(3.7)

=111.11 meters

Distance travelled by cat: 24t=24(3.7)

=88.89 meters

Therefore since they are travelling towards each other and their distance apart is 200 meters, after 3.7 seconds they will meet because dog travelled 111.11 meters and cat travelled 88.89 meters and they covered already 200 meters as the sum of 111.11+ 88.89

=200 meters

A triangle with the coordinates (6,4), (2,-1), and (-3,5) is translated 4 Units left and rotate 180 degrees about the origin. Wh
ankoles [38]

Answer:

(-2,-4),(2,1), and (7,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has coordinates (6,4), (2,-1), and (-3,5).

When we translate 4 units left, the we obtain:

(6,4)------>(6-4,4)=(2,4)

(2,-1)----->(2-4,-1)=(-2,-1)

(-3,5)----->(-3-4,5)=(-7,5)

When the resulting figure is rotated 180° about the origin, the coordinates of the final figure becomes

(2,4)------>(-2,-4)

(-2,-1)----->(2,1)

(-7,5)------->(7,-5)

NB: The mapping for 180° rotation is:

(x,y)----->(-x,-y)
