immy is making a rectangular sandbox in his backyard for his son. Jimmy will be using wood to frame the sides of the sandbox. He

wants the length of the sandbox to be 4 feet longer than the width. Jimmy can use no more than 60 feet of wood. Which inequality shows a possible width for the sandbox?

Find the missing lengths: LK=15 and KH=9, find KI and HI.

Luda [366]

Answer:

KI=11.25 and HI=6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

According to Pythagoras Theorem:

$base^2+perpendicular^2=hypotenuse^2$

Use Pythagoras in triangle HKL

$LH^2+KH^2=LK^2$

$(LH)^2+9^2=15^2$

$(LH)^2+81=225$

$(LH)^2=144$

Taking square root on both sides.

$LH=12$

Let length of HI be x.

LI = 12+x

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔKLI,

$(KI)^2+15^2=(12+x)^2$

$(KI)^2+225=x^2+24x+144$

$(KI)^2=x^2+24x+144-225$

$(KI)^2=x^2+24x-81...(1)$

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔHKI,

$(KI)^2=x^2+9^2$

$(KI)^2=x^2+81...(2)$

From (1) and (2) we get

$x^2+81=x^2+24x-81$

$24x=162$

$x=\dfrac{162}{24}=6.75$

Hence, the measure of HI is 6.75 units.

Substitute x=6.75 in equation (2).

$(KI)^2=(6.75)^2+81$

$(KI)^2=126.5625$

Taking square root on both sides.

$KI=\sqrt{126.5625}$

$KI=11.25$

Hence, the measure of KI is 11.25 units.

Julia went to the movies and bought one jumbo popcorn and two chocolate chip cookies for $5.00. Marvin went to the same movie an

hichkok12 [17]

X=price of one jumbo popcorn
y=price of one chocolate chip cookies

$5.00=$5.00(100 cts / $)=500 cts
$6.00=$6.00(100 cts / $)=600 cts

We suggest this system of equations:

x+2y=500
x+4y=600

we solve this system of equations by reduction method.

-(x+2y=500)
x+4y=600
----------------------
2y=100 ⇒ y=100/2=50

x+2y=500
x+2(50)=500
x+100=500
x=500-100
x=400

solution: one chocolate chip cookie cost 50 cts.

Answer:

Read explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Wow I'd love to go to that store of yours! :P Anyways if you were asking for the new discounted price I solved this equation: 12*0.8 and got $9.60. But if it was asking for <em>how </em> <em>much </em>was discounted, I would do 12*0.2 and $2.40.

The area of the regular pentagon is 6.9 cm2. What is the perimeter? 2 cm 5 cm 10 cm 20 cm

disa [49]

Given

Area of the regular pentagon is 6.9 cm².

Find out the perimeter of a regular pentagon

To proof

Formula

Area of regular pentagon is

$= \frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt{5})}\ a^{2}$

As given in the question

area of regular pentagon = 6.9 cm²

now equating the area value with the area formula.

$6.9 =\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt{5})} a^{2}$

Now put

√5 = 2.24 ( approx)

put in the above equation

$\frac{6.9\times 4}{\sqrt{5(5+2\times2.24)}}=a^{2}\\\frac{27.6}{\sqrt{47.4}}=a^{2}\\\frac{27.6}{6.88}=a^{2}$

thus

a² = 4.01

a = √ 4.01

a = 2.0 cm ( approx)

As perimeter represented the sum of all sides.

i.e regular pentagon have five sides of equal length.

Thus

perimeter of the regular pentagon = 5 × side length

= 5 ×2.00

therefore the perimeter of the regular pentagon = 10cm

option c is correct

Hence proved
