Answer:

18ft wide and 33 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 35 ft long.

The Area of the carpeting she must have = 594 ft²

To solve for this, we have:

Length × Width = Area of a rectangle

594ft² = Length × Width

594ft² = (20 - x) (35 - x)

594 = 700 - 20x - 35x + x²

594 = 700 - 55x + x²

Collect like terms

x² - 55x + 700 - 594

x² - 55x + 106

We factorise

x² - 2x - 53x + 106

(x² - 2x) -(53x + 106)

x(x - 2) -53(x - 2)

(x - 2)(x - 53)

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

x - 53 = 0, x = 53

We choose the least value for x

Hence, x = 2

Length = 20 - 2 = 18ft

Width = 35 - 2 = 33ft

The dimensions the rug should have is 18ft by 33ft, meaning 18ft wide and 33 ft long

Reasoning : Why is the numerator greater than
Digiron [165]

Answer:

See the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When the numerator is less than the denominator, the result is always less than 1, that is 0. something and this will give a percentage less than 100, but when the numerator is greater than the denominator, th result is greater than 1, and any figure greater than 1 gives a percentage that is greater than 100

example

Numerator >Denominator

=4/2*100

=2*100

=200%

Numerator <Denominator

=2/4*100

=0/5*100

=50%

Can you guys please answer this thank you
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:F B G E A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. F( a rigid transformation only changes the position but the size and angles remain the same)

2. B(The angle of rotation symmetry is the smallest angle the figure can be rotated to coincide with itself.)

3. G(Congruent means that it is the same size and shape)

4. E(Translation moves the whole shape including the points so that the shape and sizes remain the same)

5. A(Though it's position may change, reflective symmetry ensures that no other parts of the shape can change no matter what.)

A learner finds a deck of 52 cards and then takes one card from the deck. What is the probability that the card is a king? Write
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The odds of choosing a club from a full deck is 13/52, or 1/4. Since there are now only 51 cards and 12 clubs, the odds are 12/51, or .2352

The figure shows two parallel lines KL and NO cut by the transversals KO and LN.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

(A)  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, we have to prove whether the two given triangles are congruent or similar.

Thus, From the figure, ∠3=∠4 (Vertically opposite angles)

Since, KL and NO are parallel lines and KO and LN are transversals, then

measure angle 1= measure angle 5 that is ∠1=∠5(Alternate angles).

Thus, by AA similarity rule, ΔKLM is similar to ΔONM.

Thus, Option A that is Triangle KLM is similar to triangle ONM because measure of angle 3 equals measure of angle 4 and measure of angle 1 equals measure of angle 5 is correct.
