Can someone help me out with this Area question​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago

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.

use the line graph to answer the question 9 and 10 how much did the temperature change from Sunday High to Mondays High ? what w
Marizza181 [45]

Answers:

<em>How much did the temperature change from Sunday High to Mondays High?</em>

Change = 4 °C

<em>What was the difference between the high temperatures on Friday and Wednesday?​</em>

Difference = 10 °C

Explanation:

Taking into account the graph, we get that the high temperature each day is:

Sunday: -10°C

Monday: -6 °C

Tuesday: - 4 °C

Wednesday: -6 °C

Thursday: 0 °C

Friday: 4 °C

Saturday: -2 °C

So, the change from Sunday High to Mondays High can be calculated as:

Change = Monday - Sunday

Change = -6 °C - (- 10 °C)

Change = -6 °C + 10 °C

Change = 4 °C

In the same way, the difference between the high temperatures on Friday and Wednesday can be calculated as:

Difference = Friday - Wednesday

Difference = 4 °C - (-6 °C)

Difference = 4 °C + 6 °C

Difference = 10 °C

Therefore, the answers are:

<em>How much did the temperature change from Sunday High to Mondays High?</em>

Change = 4 °C

<em>What was the difference between the high temperatures on Friday and Wednesday?​</em>

Difference = 10 °C

Write the equation of the line given an x -intercept of 10 and y -intercept of 5.
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the y-intercept (0, 5) to the x-intercept (10,0), x increases by 10 units while y decreases by 5 units.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -5 / 10 = -1/2.

Since we know both the slope and the y-intercept of this line, let's use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line:  y = mx + b.

Substituting -1/2 for m and 5 for b, we get:

y = (-1/2)x + 5

Several paint mixtures are made by mixing blue paint and white paint. Paint Colors Blue Paint White Paint Mixture A 5 cups 12 cu
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The mixture C is the correct option

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation is as follows:

For Mixture A

Blue Paint - 5 cups

White Paint - 12 cups

The ratio between them is 5:12

For Mixture B

Blue Paint - 6 cups

White Paint - 6 cups

 The ratio between them is 6:6 = 12:12

It came by multiply the numerator and denominator by 12

For Mixture C

Blue Paint - 4 cups

White Paint - 12 cups

 The ratio between them is 4:12

For Mixture D

Blue Paint - 5 cups

White Paint - 6 cups

 The ratio between them is 5:6 = 10:12

It came by multiply the numerator and denominator by 12

As it can be seen that in all four mixtures the denominator is the same so for calculating the lowest ratio we have to see the small value in the numerator

As it can be seen that there is a small value of 4

hence, the mixture C is the correct option
