A rectangle has a length of 34 inches less than 5 times it’s width. If the area of the rectangle is 867 square inches, find the

pshichka [43]

Length of the rectangle is 51 inches

Solution:

Given that

Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

Need to determine length of the rectangle.

Let assume width of the rectangle be represented by variable x.

So 5 times width of the rectangle =5x

34 inches less than 5 times width of the rectangle = 5x – 34

As Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

=> Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34

The formula for rectangle is given as:

$\text { area of rectangle }=length \times width$

As given that Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

$\begin{array}{l}{=>867=(5 x-34) \times(x)} \\\\ {=>5 x^{2}-34 x-867=0}\end{array}$

On solving quadratic equation by using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

In our case a = 5, b = -34 and c = -867

On substituting value of a, b and c in quadratic formula we get

$\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-(-34) \pm \sqrt{(-34)^{2}-4 \times 5 \times(-867)}}{2 \times 5}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34 \pm \sqrt{18496}}{10}=\frac{34+136}{10}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34+136}{10}=17 \text { or } x=\frac{34-136}{10}=-10.2}\end{array}$

Since x represents width, it cannot be negative, so x = 17

Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34 = 5(17) – 34 = 51

Hence length of the rectangle is 51 inches

Answer:

new price= $2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

20%= 20/100= 1/5

$3.00/5= 00.60

1/5 of the price is being subtracted from $3.00

$00.60 is 1/5

3.00-.60= 2.40

Licemer1 [7]

I use a bit of a different looking formula.

A(t)=P(1+r/n)^nt

P=amount of money. (500)
r= rate (in decimal. 4%=0.04)
n=number of times per year (1 in this problem)
t=amount of time. (5 years)

Plugged in it looks like this:

A(t)=500 (1+ 0.04/1)^1x5

Then I put it into my calculator like this:

0.04/1+ 0.04

Then add one to the above answer:

0.04+1=1.04

Then raise the above answer to the 1x5:

1.04^5=1.2166......

Then multiply the above answer by 500:

1.2166.... x 500=608.3264512

She has $608 after 5 years.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

g100num [7]

Answer:

A.10000

B.25 more trees must be planted

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒Given:

The intial average yield per acre $y_{i}$ = 150

The initial number of trees per acre $t_{i}$ = 100

For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1 i.e , if the number trees become 101 , the avg yield becomes 149.
Total yield = (number of trees per acre) $*$ (average yield per acre)
