Answer:

Width 130 ft and

Length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Length of the rectangular base is 70 ft less than three times the width;
  • Perimeter of the rectangular base is 900 ft

We are required  to determine the dimensions of the rectangular base;

Assuming the width of the rectangular base is x ft

Then length will be (3x - 70) ft

But;

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

Thus;

900 ft = 2(3x-70) + 2(x)

900 ft = 6x -140 +2x

1040 = 8x

 x = 130

Thus;

Width = 130 ft

Length = 3x -70 = 320 ft

Hence the dimensions of the rectangular base are width 130 ft and length 320 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the inner square. 14 x 14 = 196

Then find the area of the outer square. 20 x 20 = 400

Subtract 400 - 196 = 204

204 is closest to 200

Use the Angle Addition Postulate to find the measure of each angle.
Simora [160]
For number 15 and 16, you just have to find the absolute difference between the two points along the calibration of the protractor.

15. ∠BXC = |B - C| = |140° - 110°| = 30°
16. ∠BXE = |B - E| = |140° - 30°| = 110°

For numbers 20 and 21, apply the Angle Addition Postulate. This is when you add the individual interior angles to equate to the total angle.

20. ∠PQS = ∠PQR + ∠RQS
      112° = 72°+ 10x°
       x = 4

21. ∠KLM = ∠KLN + ∠NLM
      135° = 47°+ 16y°
       y = 5.5
