A floor plan shows that the exterior of a room has dimensions 12 feet by 17 feet. If the area of the room measured from the inte

rior is only 176 square feet, express the thickness of the surrounding walls in feet. (Assume that the walls have uniform thickness).

Answer:

The thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the thickness of each all by T.

The external dimensions of the room are 12 feet by 17 feet, and these values include thickness of 2 walls each, so the internal dimensions are (12-2T) and (17-2T).

If the internal area is 176, we have the equation:

(12-2T) * (17-2T) = 176

204 - 58T + 4T2 = 176

4T2 - 58T + 28 = 0

2T2 - 29T + 14 = 0

Using Bhaskara, we have:

Delta = (-29)^2 - 4*2*14 = 729

sqrt(D) = 27

T1 = (29 + 27)/4 = 14 feet

T2 = (29 - 27)/4 = 0.5 feet

As the first value is too big and would generate a negative side for the room, we have that the thickness of the walls is 0.5 feet.

Select the two statements that are true about the equation y+6=−10(x−3).
qwelly [4]

I have taken that test (although I don't see you're statements)

I believe the statements to choose from are:

A.) The slope of the line is −10.

B.) The slope of the line is 3.

C.) One point on the line is (3, 6).

D.) One point on the line is (3,−6)

<u>The answers are:</u>

A.) The slope of the line is -10

D.) One point on the line is (3,-6)

<u>Explanation: </u>

The given equation of line is (1).  The point slope form of a line is  (2)  Where m is the slope of line and (x₁,y₁) are points.  On comparing (1) and (2) we get The slope of given line is -10 and the line passing through the points (3,-6).

Explain how to write and evaluate an algebraic expression that represents the situation. The blueberries were divided equally in
ser-zykov [4K]

The variable is the number of blueberries, the operation is division, and the constant is 6. Write the division expression as the fraction, b/6 . To evaluate, substitute 210 in for the variable, b, and simplify. 210 divided by 6 is 35. So each bowl has 35 blueberries.

\textbf{Since it's a right angled Triangle we can }  \\ \textbf{ use Pythagoras theorem }

  • \sf{Cos (29°) = \dfrac{b}{c}}

  • \sf{Cos (29°) = \dfrac{b}{260}}

  • \sf{b= 260\cdot Cos (29°) }

  • \sf{b= 260\cdot 0.875 }
