The way to determine the number of solutions is to complete the problem in multiple different ways.
Answer:
Length of rectangular lawn =72 meters
Breadth of rectangular lawn =18 meters
Perimeter of rectangle =2(Length+Breadth)
So, Perimeter of rectangle =2(72+18)=2(90)=180 meters
If three shrubs can be planted in a meter of hedge.
Then, Number of shrubs planted in whole perimeter will be=3×180=540
Step-by-step explanation:
Try to imagine this word problem, there is a wall and a ladder leaning against it, the space from the bottom of the ladder is labeled 6 and the length of the height the ladder reaches on the wall is 8. Imagine this as a right triangle now, where the length of the ladder is the hypotenuse and the length of the legs of the triangle is 6 and 8. Because we know this, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2
We then plug in the values and you get 6^2+8^2=c^2
When you simplify, you get 36+64=c^2 which is c^2=100
When you solve for c, you get c=10 which would be the length of the ladder :)
Answer:
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a number, x.
Now increase it by 5%.
1.05x
Now increase it by 20%.
1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x
1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x
100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.
The increase is 26% of the original number.
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
