A city park commission received a donation of playground equipment from a parents' organization. The area of the playground need

s to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular.
The city will also put a fence around the playground. The perimeter, P, of the fence includes the gates. To save money, the city wants the least perimeter of fencing for the area of 256 square yards.

Jovana was trying to find a formula for that perimeter with one side 8 yards longer than the other side using the area. In which step did she make a mistake? Explain her mistake and give the correct formula.

PLEASE HELP! What is the volume of the pyramid shown below?
mezya [45]
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is,

V=1/3Bh


Since the base of the pyramid is a square, the base area is 11^2

which equals 121 sq. units

So, substitute 121

for B

and 6 for h, in the formula.

V=1/3(121)(6) = 242 cu. units

Or alternatively 1/3(11^2)(6) = 242 cu. units

A line goes through the points (5, -1) and (7, -5). What is a possible equation to a new line that is perpendicular?
Leya [2.2K]

<em>Ok, so you are given an equation in standard form, 5x+4y=2, and a point, (7, 5). You are being asked to write the equation for a line that is parallel to the equation in standard from, and that includes the point (7, 5).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>First, let's start by finding the slope of your new line. We know that it needs to have the same slope as 5x+4y=2, because parallel lines have the same slopes. To do that, we need to put the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), which means we need to isolate the "y."  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>  5x+4y=2 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>-5x     -5x  (subtract 5x from both sides to move it to the right side of your equation) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>4y = 2 - 5x </em>

<em> </em>

<em>/4  /4  /4 (divide all the terms by 4 to get "y" by itself) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = (1/2) - (5/4)x  ... I suggest leaving your slope as a fraction. </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Now, we know that our slope, m , is going to be -(5/4).  </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Next, we are going to use our slope, -(5/4), and point, (7, 5), to find the b-value (y-intercept) of your new line. Let's plug in what we know: </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y = 5 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>x = 7 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>y=mx+b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5=(-5/4)(7) + b  -> I plugged in what we knew for y, m, and x.  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>5 = -(35/4) + b  -> I multiplied the numbers in the numerator (5 x 7) to get 35/4 </em>

<em> </em>

<em>20/4 = -(35/4) + b -> I converted 5 into a faction with a denominator of 4 by multiplying by (4/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>+(35/4) +(35/4)  -> I add (35/4) to both sides to isolate b </em>

<em> </em>

<em>55/4 = b ... or b = 13.74 </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Answer:  </em>

<em> </em>

<em>m = -(5/4) </em>

<em> </em>

<em>b = 13.75</em>
