So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.

So you can use proportions here.

AB / AC = AD / AE

AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3

AD = 6

So plug in these values:

AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE

Now do the cross multiply:

7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)

Now solve for AE:

7AE = 6AE + 18

AE = 18

Consider the following problem: a farmer with 750 feet of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into fo
nlexa [21]

Answer:

14,062.5ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer has a given length of fencing. Since this fencing is used to enclose a rectangular area, before it is then divided it into four pens using the same provided fencing material. This will definitely lead to five lengths of fencing which come along one side of the rectangle to form four pens.

Let us assume that the length of the each of the five sides be xft.

Then let the length of each of the two sides in the be yft.

Since the total length of fencing available is 750 feet.

Then we can have an equation of such:

5x+2y=750

Making y the subject

2y = 750-5x

y = 750-5x/2. ........1

The area of the rectangular region is given by:

A = xy. ......... 2

Combining (1) in (2) to find the area

A(x)= x. (750−5x)/2

=750x−5x^2/2 ........... (*)

Going by the means of first diffential calculus.

A(x)=750x−5x^2/2

A'(x) = 750-10x/2

Setting A'(x) = 0

750-10x/2 = 0

750-10x = 2×0

750-10x = 0

750= 10x

x = 750/10

x = 75

Now that we have x = 75

We can now substitute into equation (*)

A(x) = 750×75-5×75^2/2

= (56250-28125)/2

= 28126/2

= 14062.5

Hence the rectangular region of maximum area is

14062.5ft^2

A bike store rents bikes for $9 an hour in addition to a helmet rental fee of $15. If
wel

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to subtract the one pay fee (the helmet rental fee, $15)

So 51 - 15 = 36

Then we need to divide 36 by the amount of money it costs for each hours to find how many hours he rented the bike

So 39/9 = 4

At a math competition 2 students can answer 40 questions in 1 hour. At the same rate, how many questions could 5 students answer
const2013 [10]

Answer:

25 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

At a math competition 2 students can answer 40 questions in 1 hour.

Therefore, 1 student can answer in 1 hour =  \frac{40}{2}

                                                                     = 20 questions

5 students can answer in 1 hour = 20 × 5 = 100 questions

60 minutes = 1 hour

15 minutes =  \frac{15}{60} = 0.25 hours

5 students can answer in 0.25 hours = 100 × 0.25

                                                              = 25 questions

5 students could answer 25 questions in 15 minutes.
