A rectangle that is twice as long as it is wide forms the base of a rectangular pyramid that is 60cm high. If the volume of the

pyramid is 4000 cm cubed, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer:

10 * 20 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the base = x, then it's length is 2x cm  and the area = 2x^2 cm^2.

Volume = 1/3 * height * area of the base

4000 = 1/3 * 60 * 2x^2

2x^2 = 4000 / (1/3 * 60)

2x^2 = 4000 / 20 = 200

x^2 = 200/2 = 100 cm.

x = 10 cm.

So the dimension of the rectangle =  10 * 20 cm.

The area of trapezoid TRAP is 100 m squared
Anastasy [175]
Answer:  30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________

Area of a trapezoid, "A" = (1/2) ( b₁ + b₂) h ;
______________________________________________
or, write as:  A = ( b₁ + b₂) h  / 2 ;
___________________________________
in which:  A = area;
              b₁ = length of "base 1" (choose either one of the 2 (two bases);
              b₂ = length of "base 2" (use the base that is remaining);
              h = height of trapezoid;
____________________________________________
From the information given: 
___________________________
A = 100 m² ; 
h = 5 m
b₁ = 10 m
b₂ =  x 
___________________________
Find "x", which is:  "b₂" ;
__________________________
      A = ( b₁ + b₂) h  / 2  ;
_____________________________
Plug in our known values; and plug in "x" for "b₂" ; and solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
  100 m² = [(10m + x) (5m)] / 2  ; Solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
          (10m + x) (5m) = (2)* (100m²) ;
_________________________________________________________
             (5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
___________________________________________
Note:  The distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
    a(b+c) = ab + ac ;
 
    a(b−c) = ab <span>− ac ;
</span>____________________________________________

  We have:  (5m) (10m + x) = 200 m²  ;
____________________________________________
So:    (5m) (10m + x) =  (5m*10m) + (5m * x) ;
                           
                               =  50m² + (5m)x  ;
_______________________________________________
     →  50m² + (5m)x = 200m²  ; 
_______________________________________________
Divide the ENTIRE equation by "5m" ;
_______________________________________________
     → { 50m² + (5m)x } / 5m = (200m² / 5m) ;
_______________________________________________
     →  10m + x   = 40m ; 
________________________________________________
Now, subtract "10m" from EACH side of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________
     →  10m + x  − 10m  =  40m − 10m ;

to get:

                →    x  =  30 m  ; which is our answer.

Answer:  30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .

What is <br> 2x+y=-4<br> step by step please and i will give you 44 points for this!!!
Anni [7]

Answer: 0=0

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to solve for x

2x+y=−4

Step 1: Add -y to both sides.

2x + y + −y =−4+ −y

2x=−y−4

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2= -y-4/2

x=-1/2y-2

Then you want to plug in your answer for x into the equation so:

2(-1/2y-2)+y=-4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(-1/2y-2)+y=-4

(2)( −1/ 2 y)+(2)(−2)+y(Distribute)

−y+−4+y=−4

(−y+y)+(−4)=−4(Combine Like Terms)

−4=−4

−4=−4

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

−4+4=−4+4

0=0.

Sorry if this wasn't the answer your looking for. If you need more help I suggest using Ma.th.Pa.pa calculator but with out the periods. Hope you have a good day :)

The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width, and its perimeter is 34 inches. Find the length and width of the
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Width = 6.5 inches

Length = 10.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

"l" be length of rectangle

and

"w" be width of rectangle

Since length of rectangle is 4 inches MORE THAN WIDTH, we can write:

l = 4 + w

The perimeter is sum of all sides, so

Perimeter = l + l + w + w = 2l + 2w

The perimeter is 34, so we can write:

2l + 2w = 34

Putting 1st equation in 2nd, we get equation in "w" and solve for this first:

2l + 2w = 34\\2(4+w) + 2w = 34\\8+2w+2w=34\\4w=26\\w=\frac{26}{4}=6.5

Width is 6.5 in

Now, l = 4 + w, so

l = 4 + 6.5 = 10.5

Length is 10.5 in
