What is the length of a rectangle whose perimeter is 140 ft if its width-to-length is 2 : 5

Answer:

50 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the ratio of width-to-length is 2 : 5.

Let,

Width = 2x ft

Length = 5x ft

Perimeter of the rectangle is

Perimeter=2(lenght+width)

Perimeter=2(5x+2x)

Perimeter=2(7x)

Perimeter=14x

It is given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 140 ft.

14x=140

Divide both sides by 14.

x=10

The value of x is 10.

Length=5x=5\times 10=50

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 50 ft.

A 5.1-ft-tall person walks away from a 12-ft lamppost at a constant rate of 3.9 ft/sec. What is the rate that the tip of the per
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

6.78ft/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec

We are looking for Dy/dt

From geometry,vof this case the relationship between x and y is needed here, there is two similar triangle that exhibited by the man and the lamb

12/y= 5.1/(y-x)

Then ,cross multiply, we have

12(y-x)=5.1y

12y-12x=5.1y

12y-5.1y=12x

6.9y=12x

y=( 12/6.9)x

Differentiating implicitly the bother sides with respect to t, we have

Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)dx/dt

But dx/dt= 3.9 ft/sec

Then Dy/dt= ( 12/6.9)× 3.9

Dy/dt=6.78ft/sec

Hence, the rate that the tip of the person's shadow moves away from the lamppost when the person is 9 ft away from the lampost is 6.78ft/sec

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. rational number

2. a positive rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a simple fraction. When two rational numbers are multiplied together, the only logical answer would be for the outcome/product to also be rational.

The reciprocal of a positive rational number is also a positive rational number because if the original number was negative, the reciprocal would also be negative since the signs wouldn't change (in this case, the original number is positive). Since the original number is already a rational number, just by flipping it (the reciprocal), it would not change to an irrational, but instead stay the same.

Michael timed a train using a clock. the train traveled a distance of half mile from t = 10 seconds to t = 55 seconds. what was
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

<em>58.7 ft/sec</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The train traveled half a mile.

1 mile = 5280 ft

0.5 mile = 0.5 * 5280 ft = 2640 ft

A time from 10 sec to 55 sec is 55 sec - 10 sec = 45 seconds.

2640 ft in 45 seconds

speed = distance/time

speed = 2640 ft / 45 sec = 58.6666... ft/sec

Answer: speed = 58.7 ft/sec
