Answer:

The width of the frame is 0.0746 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that after the frame has been attached to the solar collector, the area that is left exposed is 2.5m^2  . As we see in the figure, the dimensions of this area are

(w-2x) and  (l-2x)

where x is the width of the frame.

The product of these dimensions must equal the exposed area:

(w-2x)(l-2x)=2.5m^2

Now since w=1.5m and l=2m we have:

(1.5-2x)(2-2x)=2.5

we expand this and solve for x using the quadratic formula:

4x^2-7x+3=2.5

4x^2-7x+0.5=0

we get two solutions:

x=1.6753

x=0.0746

We take the second solution i.e x=0.0746, because first one gives a width larger than the dimensions of the solar collector which cannot be possible.

Thus the width of the frame is 0.0746 meters.

Determine if the following tables from a lineAr equation if so identify the slope otherwise write non linear
mariarad [96]
2) 
a*2 + b = 26;
a*(-4) + b = -16;
then, a*6 = 42 => a = 7 => b = 26 -14 => b = 12;

from table, 7*9 + 12 = 63 + 12 = 75, correct;
                7*(-8) + 12 = -56 + 12 = -44, correct;

slope = ( -44 + 16) / ( -8 + 4) = ( - 28) / (-4) = 7 = a;

How to solve 3(2x-7)=5x+4
notka56 [123]
You have to start by using the distributive property on the left side.
3(2x-7)=5x+4
6x-21=5x+4    Then remove and combine alike terms.
    +21      +21
6x=5x+25
-5x  -5x
x=25

Grace [21]

Answer: 77.283km^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the lateral area of a cone L.A is:

L.A=\pi r h

Where:

r=10km is the radius of the circular base of the cone

As we know its diameter d=20km, its radius is r=\frac{d}{2}=10km

h=2.46km is the height of the cone

L.A=\pi (10km)(2.46km)

L.A=77.283km^{2} This is the lateral area of the volcano with the shape of a cone
