Answer: Area = 6m²

              Smaller number = 16

              Hours = 9.6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is 5 meters longer than its width. If the length is shortened by 2 meters and width is increased by 1 meter, the area remains the same. Find the area of the rectangle.

1) w = x m                                2) w = x + 1 m

     l = x + 5  m                               l = x + 5 - 2 = x + 3 m

A₁ = A₂

A = w*l

A₁ = x(x+5) = x² + 5x

A₂ = (x+1)(x+2) = x² + x + 2x + 2 = x² + 3x + 2

A₁ = A₂

x² + 5x = x² + 3x + 2

5x - 3x = 2

2x = 2

x = 1

A₁ = x(x+5) = 1.6 = 6 m²

The ratio of two numbers is 2:5. If the larger number is 40, what is the smaller number.

<u> 2 </u> = <u> x </u>

5     40

5x = 80

x = 80/5 = 16

Sixteen construction workers can finish cementing a floor of a building in 3 hours. On a certain day, only 5 construction workers are available for the job. How long will it take the 5 construction workers to do the cementing job?

workers                      hours

    16                              3

     5                               x

↑                                          ↓              inversely proportional

<u> 5 </u> = <u> 3 </u>

16      x

5x = 16*3

5x = 48

x = 48/5

x = 9.6 h

Leah decided to paint some of the rooms at her 51 room hotel. She needs 1/5 of a can to paint per room.if Leah had 6 cans of pai
enyata [817]
If 1/5 can for 1 (each) room, then:
for 51 rooms, (51*1/5)=10.2 rooms.
Round to nearest whole number since you can't just paint 0.2 of a room: answer = 10

How do I find Trig ratios
nadya68 [22]

Trig ratios can only be used on right triangles with acute measures.

If given an angle and there are adjacent and opposite sides, then use tan(opposite/adjacent)

If given an angle and there is an adjacent side and a hypotenuse, then use cosine(adjacent/hypotenuse)

If given an angle and there is an opposite and adjacent side, then use sin(opposite/hypotenuse)

A common mnemonic device used to memorize the trig rules is SOH-CAH-TOA
