Answer:

  • width -- 10 ft
  • length -- 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the width. Then the length will be represented by (3x+5), a value 5 more than 3 times the width.

The area is the product of length and width, so is ...

  A = (3x +5)(x) = 3x^2 +5x

To make the area 350, we can find the value of x from ...

  3x^2 +5x = 350

This can be solved a number of ways. One of them is "completing the square".

  3(x^2 +5/3x) = 350

We choose to divide by 3 and add the square of half the x-coefficient.

  x^2 +5/3x +(5/6)^2 = (350/3) + (5/6)^2

  (x +5/6)^2 = 4225/36 . . . . simplify

  x +5/6 = ±√(4225/36) = ±10 5/6 . . . . take the square root

  x = 10  or  -11 2/3 . . . . subtract 5/6

The positive solution is the one of interest: x = 10.

The driveway is 10 ft wide and 35 ft long.

Which statement is false?
Sidana [21]

Trigonometric functions which are related by having the same value at complementary angles are called cofunctions. Cofunctions of complementary angles are equal.

A. csc 20' = csc(90-70)=sec 70

B. cos 87' =  cos (90-3)=sin 3'

C. csc 40' =  csc(90-50) =sec50'  


D. tan 15' = tan(90-75)= cot 75'

Among all the option  c is not correct.

Option C is false.

5. Ms. Lee has 220 students in all her classes. If her classes collected 2860 pounds of food, how many meals did each student pr
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students in Ms. Lee class = 220

Total pounds of food collected = 2,860

how many meals did each student provide?

Meals provided by each student = Total pounds of food collected / total number of students

= 2,860 / 220

= 13 pounds

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal

1.2 pounds : 1 meal = 13 pounds : x meals

1.2/1 = 13/x

1.2 * x = 1 * 13

1.2x = 13

x = 13 / 1.2

= 10.83 meals

Approximately 11 meals to the nearest number

Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds

1 kg : 2.2 pounds = x kg : 13 pounds

1/2.2 = x / 13

1 * 13 = 2.2 * x

13 = 2.2x

x = 13/2.2

= 5.91 kilogram

Approximately x = 6 kilograms
