The diagram shows a lawn with the north side measuring 50 units and the west side measuring 28 units. The deck is scaled down by a factor of 1/5.
This is because the ratio of the length of the lawn to that of the deck is 1 : 5.
Hence we can now ca
Answer:
28.8 or 28 8/10
Step-by-step explanation:
A percentage is out of 100. We have to convert 8 3/4 into a percentage. 8 3/4 can also be written as an improper fraction 35/4. Now we have to make the denominator 100. We already knoe that 4 multiplied by 25 equals 100, then we do the same to the numerator. 35 multiplied by 25 gets us to 125. Now we got 125/100. Now since we converted the fracrion into a percentage, now what we do is divide 36 by 125% and that will get you to 28.8 or 28 8/10.
To double check your answer, you can multiply 28.8 by 125% and you will get 36.
It's goofy to subtract perimeter and area; they're in different units. We persist.
The area is 
and the perimeter is 
. so the difference is
Answer: choice A
Answer:
length: 14.2 ft; width 4.2 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the rectangle in feet. Then x-10 represents the width, and the area is ...
area = length×width
60 = x(x -10) . . . . . substitute the expressions for area, length, width
60 = x² -10x
85 = x² -10x +25 . . . . add (10/2)² to complete the square
85 = (x -5)² . . . . . . . . . rewrite as a square
√85 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . take the square root. Only the positive root is useful for this problem
x = 5 + √85 ≈ 14.2
x-10 = 4.2
The length and width of the rectangle are 14.2 ft and 4.2 ft.
