A rectangle and a square have the same area. The width of the rectangle is 2 in less than the side of the square and the length
lina2011 [118]
The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

There are five cars in line at a stoplight. Each of these cars is a different color and different type of car. Diego is driving
adell [148]
Ok, here we go:
5 cars total.
1. Rachel - first car in line, yellow, SUV
2. blue car (Rachel is in front of the blue car), convertible, Anton
3. minivan - third car in line, Diego
4.  white car, sedan, Ingrid
5. green car, immediately behind white car, Yuna, pickup


We know that Rachel is first, a blue car is second and the minivan is third.  We know that 3, 4 cannot be a convertible since one is a minivan and the other is a sedan.  We also know that a yellow car is in front of the convertible. 

Based off of that we know that car 5 cannot be a convertible since 4 is white and not yellow. So 1 or 2 is the convertible and SUV.  But we know that Rachel is in front of a blue car and the yellow car is in front of a convertible so that makes car #2 the blue convertible and car #1 the yellow SUV. 

Fill in what you do know and start to eliminate the outliers.  Hope that helps.

Cual es el valor de un esfero cuando la docena se compra en $7848? Area de un triangulo de 9 unidades de base y 6 unidades de al
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) $654

b) 27 unidades cuadradas

c) 721

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ¿Cuál es el valor de un bolígrafo cuando la docena se compra por $ 7848?

Una docena = 12

Por eso:

12 bolígrafos = $ 7848

1 bolígrafo = $ x

Cruz multiplicar

12 bolígrafos × $ x = 1 bolígrafo × $ 7848

$ x = 1 bolígrafo × $ 7848/12

$ x = $654

b) Área de un triángulo ¿9 unidades de base y 6 unidades de altura?

Área de un triángulo =

= 1/2 × Base × Altura

1/2 × 9 × 6

= 27 unidades cuadradas

c) Cien veces la suma de 4.5 con 2.71

Esto se calcula como:

100 × (4,5 + 2,71)

= 100 × (7.21)

= 721

Goods that cost 1/5 of one dollar in the U.S. cost one kroner in Denmark, the real exchange rate would be computed as how many D
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The amount of Kroner that can be bought from 1/5 of one dollar.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that goods that cost 1/5 of one dollar in the U.S. cost one kroner in Denmark. We are asked to find the the real exchange rate that would be computed as how many Danish goods per U.S. goods.

The real exchange rate tells us how much foreign currency can be exchanged for a unit of domestic currency.

It also tells us that how much the goods and services in the domestic country can be exchanged for the goods and services in a foreign country.

Therefore, the real exchange rate would be the amount of Kroner that can be bought from 1/5 of one dollar.
