Answer:
x=8
A = 192
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the outer lengths
17.9 + 22.6 + 3x = 64.5
Combine like terms
40.5 +3x = 64.5
Subtract 40.5 from each side
40.5 +3x -40.5 = 64.5 - 40.5
3x =24
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 24/3
x = 8
The area of a triangle is given by
A = 1/2 bh
The base is 3x = 3(8) =24
and the height is 2x = 2(8) =16
A = 1/2 (24) * 16
A =192
Answer:
94.2 ft of fencing
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this, find the circumference, C, of the garden, using the circumference formula C = 2(pi)r.
Here, with r = 15 ft, we get C = 2(3.14)(15 ft) = 94.2 ft of fencing will enclose this garden.
1650 - 1200 = 450
What percent is 450 of 1200?
y = 450/1200
y = 0.375
37.5% increase
Answer:
Length of the room is 180 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a rectangular room with dimensions:
width = 70 ft and length "x" (unknown)
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2*w + 2*x and according to problem statement 500 ft of lights will fit exactly in room perimeter then:
2*70 + 2*x = 500
140 + 2*x = 500
2*x = 500 - 140
2*x = 360
x = 360/2
x = 180 ft
To find the zeros of this function, we must first set the entire function equal to 0
f(x) = x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Since this is a quadratic function, we must use the quadratic formula, which is:

Let's assign a, b, and c using our first function
x² means a = 1 (because it could be written as 1x²)
-2x means b = -2
-15 means c = -15
Now let's plug those in:

which simplifies to:

Simplified further:


And divide it by the 2 on the bottom gives us:

2+4 = 6
2-4 = -2
So the zeros of this function are
-2 and
6
