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

Roy is in a hot air balloon that has just taken off and is floating above its launching point.
leonid [27]

Answer:

7.1 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theory:

10 would be the hypotenuse

7 would be one of the legs

and x (or whatever variable you'd like) would be the other leg.

7^2+x^2=10^2

49+x^2=100

subtract 49 from both sides

x^2=51

take the square root on both sides

x is approximately 7.1
