Answer:
h=6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 1. The base of a rectangle is three feet longer than its height.
2.Are of the rectangle=54 square meters
Let us say the rectangle has height h and base(breadth) b.
Since, the base of the rectangle is three feet longer than the height, we have b=h+3.
Also, Area of the Rectangle= hb
therefore, 54=h(h+3)
54= h2+ 3h
h2+3h-54=0 (Subtract 54 from both the sides)
To find the value of h we have to solve the quadratic equation.
[We have the equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0, to factorise the equation-
Step1. Find two numbers such that their multiplication is equal to ac and their addition is equal to b.
Step2. Replace b with these numbers.
Step3. Simplify the equation]
So, h2+3h-54=0
h2+9h-6h-54=0
h(h+9)-6(h+9)=0
(h+9)(h-6)=0
Which gives-
h= -9 or h= 6
As h is the height of the rectangle, h can not be -9.
so h=6 feet
and b=h+3=9 feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 6 feet for the height and 9 feet for the base.
Answer:
<u>9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
1 yard = 36 inches
2. In converting 9 inches to yards, what unit (omit the number) would you place in the numerator of your ratio?
This is the ratio for calculating the answer:
36/1 = 9/x
36x = 9 *1
36x = 9
x = 9/36
x = 1/4 or 0.25 yards
<u>9 inches are 1/4 or 0.25 yards and we used inches in the numerator and yards in the denominator for our ratio.</u>
So, givens: total lesson cost of $260, total lessons taken are 6, and the first lesson costs 1.5 (or 3/2) as much as the additional lessons.
First thing to do is to figure out how many additional lessons are in that, which are 5.
Then you can make a 1 variable equation with the information you have. I’m using x as my variable.
260= 3/2x + 5x
Combine like terms.
260 = 13/2x
Divide both sides by 13/2 (treat it as a fraction, and if your calculator cannot make fractions, then decimal might help for this. 13/2=6.5)
X=40
