The two diagonals<span> are </span>equal<span> in length and bisect each other. Every </span>quadrilateral<span> with both these properties is a </span>rectangle<span>. A </span>rectangle<span> is rectilinear:which means its sides meet at right angles.</span>
(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16
(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1
The scale given (1 in : 1/2 ft) implies that 1 inch on the model is equal to 1/2 foot on the actual ship. Therefore, we can multiply the two inch values by 1/2 foot to find the true dimensions of the ship in feet. Starting with 28 inches:
28 × (1/2 ft) = 14 ft
28 inches is proportional to 14 feet. Now calculate 65 inches:
65 × (1/2 ft) = 32.5 ft
65 inches is proportional to 32.5 feet. Therefore, the answer to this problem is:
D) 14 ft. by 32 1/2 ft.
I hope this helps!
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
$43.20
Explanation:
The formula we have is
c = p(1+r), where c is the total cost, p is the price of the item before tax, and r is the tax rate written as a decimal. This formula comes from the fact that adding a percent tax to the cost of an item takes 100% of the price and adds r% to it; this is why we multiply the price by (1+r).
Since our tax rate is 8%, r = 8% = 8/100 = 0.08. The price of the item is $40. Using this information, we have:
c = 40(1.08) = $43.20
