Can someone help me out with this Area question​

Answer:

  • b = 10.1459
  • h = 16.8541

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width:

  A = 171 = bh

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

  P = 54 = b + h + b + h = 2(b +h)

We can use the latter equation to write an expression for h that can be substituted into the first equation.

  27 = b + h . . . . divide by 2

  h = 27 -b . . . . . subtract b

Now, the area is ....

  171 = b(27-b) = -b^2 +27b

Multiplying by -1 we get ...

  b^2 -27b = -171

adding the square of half of 27, we can "complete the square":

  b^2 -27b +13.5^2 = -171 +13.5^2 = 11.25

  (b -13.5)^2 = 11.25 . . . . write as a square

  b -13.5 = -√11.25 . . .  . . find the negative square root

  b = 13.5 -√11.25 ≈ 10.1459

  h = 27 -b ≈ 16.8541

The missing measurements are approximately ...

  b = 10.1459

  h = 16.8541

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

We suspect a typo in the problem. If the perimeter were 56, then the dimensions would be 9 and 19, integer factors of 171.

Answer:

60-9pi if you need that rounded then 31.73

Step-by-step explanation:

10*6= 60

the two semi circles make one full circle. a circle formula is pi*r^2 = pi*3^2= 9pi

then subtract 9pi from 60

60-9pi = 31.73

A recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter. Angie wants to triple the recipe but she has only 1 1/4 cups of butter
Alisiya [41]
The recipe calls for 5/8 cups butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe.

Therefore, if Angie is tripling the recipe, she is multiplying all of the ingredients in the recipe by 3.

So for the butter, this would be:

5/8 * 3 = 15/8 

Next, we should turn this improper fraction into a mixed number so that we can compare it to the amount of butter that Angie has.

15/8 = 1 7/8 

1 7/8 > 1 1/4

Thus, Angie DOES NOT have enough butter to triple the recipe.

Please help me im horrable at math
Masja [62]

1.) First plug in the values for m and A:

2555 = 139(4) + b

--> 2555 = 556 + b

Isolate b: 2555 - 556 = 556 - 556 + b

b = 1999

So your answer is the first option.

2.) Admission costs $5.25, so even if you don't go on any rides, you will still have to pay $5.25. This means that for this problem, 5.25 will be the b value. If each ride costs $2.50, then this means it is $2.50x for the cost of x rides. The total cost will then be C = 5.25 + 2.50x.

Simplify 6r - 5t - 8r - 4t
Mkey [24]
Okay so you do 6r-8r which = -2r
Then you do 5t-4t which = 1t
So the answer simplified = -2r + 1t
