Answer:

The dimensions of the garden are 22.5ft by 27.5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the dimensions of the garden.

let the length be x ft

we are told that the he wants the length to be 5 feet more than the width;

That means the width will be (x-5) ft

Mathematically;

Since the shape is rectangular, the perimeter will be 2( l + w)

Thus; 2(x + x-5) = 100

2(2x-5) = 100

divide both sides by 2

2x-5 = 50

2x = 50 + 5

2x = 55

x = 55/2

x = 27.5 ft

The width is thus; 27.5ft - 5ft = 22.5ft

the dimensions of the garden are 27.5 ft by 22.5 ft

A rocket is launched into the air. The height h(t), in yards, of the rocket is a function of time, t, in seconds, as shown in th
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is the same thing as the slope.  Because this is parabolic, we cannot find the exact rate of change as we could if this were a linear function.  But we can use the same idea.  When t = 3, h(t) = 33, so the coordinate point is (3, 33).  When t = 6, h(t) = 0, so the coordinate is (6, 0).  Plug those values into the slope formula:

m=\frac{0-33}{6-3} and

m=\frac{-33}{3} which is -11

From 3 to 6 seconds, the rocket is falling 11 yards per second.

Paul has a stock portfolio worth $21,000. His home is valued at $365,000. His car is valued at $19,000. He owes $362,000 on his
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Paul has negative worth of $2,900

His statement is invalid as he did not consider all assets and debts in aggregate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net worth of Paul is the total asset owned by him less the total of debts owed by him.

Paul's total assets can computed thus:

Stock portfolio                 $21,000

Home worth                     $365,000

Car worth                          $19,000

Total assets                       $405,000

Paul's total debts can be computed as follows:

Mortgage loan                     $362,000

Car loan                                $16,250

credit card debt                     $11,750

Student loan                          $17,900

Total debts                             $407,900

The amount of debts owed by Paul is $2,900($405,000-$407,900) more than his asset worth,which implies that Paul is indebted to the tune of $2,900,hence has negative worth.

Tami spins a spinner with 7 sections. The sections are numbered 1 through 7 and all sections are the same size
dexar [7]

Answer:

1 / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sections on spinner = 7

Section is numbered 1 to 7

Since the probability of landing on each section is the same:

Probability that spinner lands on 4 :

Probability, p = Required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Required outcome = landing on 4 = 1

Total possible outcomes = (1 to 7) = 7

P(landing on 4) = 1 /7
