Answer:

  80 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).

  • 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
  • (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area

The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.

  xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30

  2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2

Dividing the first equation by 2 gives

  x +y = 18

and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...

  (2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18

  x = 10

Then

  y = 18 -10 = 8

The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.

A cone has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches. What is the volume of the cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

261.8 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)(base)(height), where "base" is the area of the base.

In this case, with the radius being 5 in and the height 10 in, we get:

V = (1/3)*π*(5 in)^2*(10 in), which simplifies to 261.8 in^3.

The equation for this would be 41/4 + 52/3 - 41/3= ?
So then you just change all the denominators to their lcm, which is 12 and multiply the numerator accordingly.
123/12 + 208/12 - 164/12 = 167/12

This cracker should be manufactured because the percent of people thinking the cracker tasted best is greater than the competitor's cracker. This means you will know that your cracker and it's quality is at least better than the two others.

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds do these ratios form a proportion
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

see the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds do these ratios form a proportion

Given data

you can type 250 characters in 60 seconds

your typing speed = 250/60

= 4.16 characters per seconds

your friend can type 375 characters in 90 seconds

your friends typing speed is

= 375/90

= 4.16 characters per seconds

Since both typing speeds corresponds, hence the ratios are proportional
