Galina-37 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

  length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

  l + w = 34

  l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

  2l = 46

  l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

  w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.

A car starts with a speed of 20km/ hr and accelerates at a rate of 3.4 m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final speed of the car in
Schach [20]

The relevant formula that we can use in this situation is:

v = v0 + at

where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity = 20 km/hr, a is acceleration at 3.4 m/s^2 and t is time at 20 seconds

First convert v0 to m/s, v0 = 5.56 m/s

v = 5.56 m/s + 3.4 m/s^2 * 20 s

v = 73.56 m/s

Then convert back to km/hr:

<span>v = 264.82 km/hr</span>

​ △BCD ​ is a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 19 centimeters. The length of one of the legs is 13 centimeters.
zheka24 [161]
<span>here we can use Pythogoras' theorem.
in right angled triangles the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other 2 sides.
hypotenuse is 19 cm. One side is 13 cm and we need to find the length of the third side.
                                                                         
19</span>²<span> = 13</span>²<span> + X</span>²<span> 
X - length of the third side
                                                           
361 = 169 + X</span>²<span> 
X</span>²<span> = 361 - 169
                                                                     
X</span>²<span> = 192
                                                                             
X = 13.85 the length of third side rounded off to the nearest tenth is 13.9 cm</span>

Vincent and Jean are two cooks who work in a village. Each of them can either bake cakes or make pizzas. Every ingredient is rea
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Jean b) Jean c) Vincent d) Jean              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question.

Vincent can bake 10 cakes or make 5 pizzas

Jean can bake 12 cake or make 8 pizzas.

a) Absolute advantage of baking cake

Jean has the absolute advantage of baking cake as he can bake more cakes as compared to Vincent.

b) Absolute advantage of making pizza

Jean has the absolute advantage of making pizza as he can make more pizzas as compared to Vincent.

In order to find comparative advantage, we find the opportunity cost which can be defined as:

\text{Opportunity Cost} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{What one sacrifices}}{\text{What one gains}}

c) Comparative advantage in baking cakes

Opportunity cost of Vincent for baking cakes = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}

Opportunity cost of Jean for baking cakes = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Vincent has comparative advantage in baking cakes.

d) Comparative advantage in making pizzas

Opportunity cost of Vincent for making pizzas = \frac{10}{5} = 2

Opportunity cost of Jean for making pizzas = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}

The less is the opportunity cost the better, hence, Jean has comparative advantage in making pizzas.
