(√3 + 1)/8 the answer to the question
Answer:
9
The middle numbers are 8 and 10. 9 is the number in between them which means it is the median.
300 is the original amount and 0.5 is the rate (a percent) which is deacying because it is less than 1
<h2>Question 9:</h2>
1. Use Pythagorean Theorem (a²+b²=c²) to solve for missing side of triangle and rectangle. x²+16²=20², or x²+256=400. So, x²=144, and x=12
2. Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (12) (30+14).
3. Simplify: 1/2 (12) (44)=1/2(528)=264
Area of whole figure is 264 square mm.
<h2>Question 10:</h2>
Literally same thing but with trigonometry.
1. Use sine to find out length of dotted line: sin(60°)=x/12
2: Simplify: 12*sin(60°)=x. x≈10.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
3. Use Pythagorean Theorem to find out last leg of triangle: 10.4²+x²=12²
4: Simplify: 108.16 +x²=144. x²=35.84 ≈ 6
5: Use formula: 1/2(h)(b1+b2). 1/2 (10.4) (30+36)
6: Simplify: 1/2 (10.4) (66) =343.2
7: Area of figure is about 343.2
Remember, this is an approximate answer with rounding, so it might not be what your teacher wants. The best thing to do is do it yourself again.
Answer:
- dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
- area: 60 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...
x² + (x+7)² = 13²
2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2
(x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation
x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.
The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>
The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...
x(x +7) = 60
Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.
