Answer:

239 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the price for tiling.

Let S represent the size of the room.

From the question,

Price (P) varies directly as the size (S) i.e

P & S

P = KS

Where K is the constant of proportionality.

Next, we shall determine the value of K as follow

Price (P) = $ 4224

Size (S) = 264 ft²

Constant of proportionality (K) =?

P = KS

4224 = K × 264

Divide both side by 264

K = 4224/264

K = 16

Finally, we shall determine the size of the kitchen that will cost $ 3824 for tiling.

This is illustrated below:

Price (P) = $ 3824

Constant of proportionality (K) = 16

Size (S) =?

P = KS

3824 = 16 × S

Divide both side by 16

S = 3824/16

S = 239 ft²

Therefore, the size of the kitchen is 239 ft².

What is the equation of line perpendicular to y-3=-4(x+2) and passee through the point (-5,7
netineya [11]

Answer: y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{33}{4}


Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, two slopes are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. So, let's find the slope of the other line.

2. The equation given in the problem is written in Point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Where m is the slope.

3. Therefore, the slope of its perpendicular line must be:

m=\frac{1}{4}

4. You have the point (-5,7), so you can substitute it into the point-slope formula to find the equation of the new line:

y-7=\frac{1}{4}(x+5)

5. In slope intercept form is:

y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{5}{4}+7\\y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{33}{4}

Is 1/2 between 0.1 and 0.2?
Nady [450]
No, 1/2=0.5


This is because half of one is 0.5, since 0.5 x 2 = 1.

0.1 written as a fraction would be 1/10, since 0.1 x 10 = 1.
0.2 written as a fraction would be 1/5, since 0.2 x 5 = 2
