Length of rectangular sheet = 400.35 cm

Area of sheet = 100087.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangular sheet = 250 cm

Diagonal of rectangular sheet = 472 cm

Let,

x be the length of rectangular sheet.

A diagonal of rectangular, forms a right triangle where diagonal serves as hypotenuse.

Therefore;

a = x

b = 250

c = 472

Using pythagoras theorem;

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\a^2+(250)^2=(472)^2\\a^2+62500=222784\\a^2=222784-62500\\a^2=160284\\$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{a^2}=\sqrt{160284}\\a=400.35$

Length of rectangular sheet = 400.35 cm

Area of sheet = Length * Width

Area of sheet = 250*400.35

Area of sheet = 100087.5 cm²

Which is the greater quantity? 1/4 of a box or 40% of a box? *

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you change 1/4 into a decimal and then multiply it by 100 you will get the percentage and the percentage of 1/4 is 25% then look at which one is greater and 40% is greater than 25%(1/4)

Write an absolute value equation to satisfy the given solution set shown on a number line.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

|x + 6| = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general absolute value equation:

| f(x) | = b

We can rewrite it as:

f(x) = b

f(x) = -b

with b > 0.

Because in the number line we have only two points graphed, this means that our absolute value equation has two solutions.

And we can conclude that one solution comes from the equation:

f(x) = b

And the other solution comes from the equation:

f(x) = -b

And thus, f(x) is a linear equation, that we can simply write as:

x - c

Then our equations can be rewritten as:

x - c = b

x -c = -b

Now let's look at the graph, we can see that the two solutions are:

x = -8

and

x = -4

Let's input each one of these in one of our above equations (the order does not matter).

-4 - c = b

-8 - c = -b

The larger value of x, (x = -4) needs to be in the equation with the positive value of b.

From the first equation we can get:

b = -4 - c

now we can replace the variable "b" in the second equation by "-4 - c" to get:

-8 - c = -(-4 - c)

-8 - c = 4 + c

-8 - 4 = c + c

-12 = 2c

-12/2 =c

-6 = c

Now that we know the value of c, we can input it in the equation:

b = -4 - c

to find the value of b

b = -4 - (-6) = -4 + 6 = 2

b = 2

Then the absolute value equation is:

|x - (-6) | = 2

|x + 6| = 2

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one sam

weeeeeb [17]

Let there be a advanced tickets and s same day tickets, Then:-

a + s = 40

20a + 30s = 950............................(1)

Multiply first equation by -30

-30a - 30x = -1200 .....................(2)

Adding equations (1) and (2):-

-10a = - 250

a = -250/-10 = 25

So s = 40 - 25 = 15

Answer:- advanced tickets cost $25 and same day cost $15.
