First, let's move combine like terms:
-5y + 8y = 6 + 2 -12.
3y = -4.
y = -4/3
If you triple the height of a barrel the dimensions will triple i belive.
Answer:
(a) 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two short sides exceed the long side.
__
a) 3 ft + 4 ft = 7 ft > 5 ft . . . . . triangle is possible
b) 4 yd + 1 2/3 yd = 5 2/3 yd < 10 yd . . . . not a possible triangle
c) 3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft < 7 ft . . . . not a possible triangle
d) 4 in + 4 in = 8 in . . . . not a possible triangle (not greater than 8 in)
__
The first set of side lengths can form a triangle: 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft.
The area of the tennis court is computed by multiplying the dimensions given,
A = 120' x 80'
A = 9600 ift
Then, we convert the area in ft² to acres,
A = (9600 in²)(2.3 x 10^-5/ 1 in²)
A = 0.24 acre
The portion of land remaining is,
A of remaining = 0.25 acre - 0.24 acre
= 0.1 acre
The remaining portion is for Andre's studies.
This, 0.1 ft² is equal to the 4% of the given area of the court.
