shortest side: 851
middle side:927
longest side : 1306
Explanation
Step 1
Let
x represents the shortest side
y represents the middle side
z represents the longest side
so, set the equations
a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so
b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)
c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)
Step 2
solve the equations
a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)
now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x
b)
c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z
so
shortest side: 851
middle side:927
longest side : 1306
I hope this helps you
Answer
C) 160 in^2
Step by step explanation
First, let's find the area of the rectangle.
Area of a rectangle = length x width
The area of the rectangle = 20 * 10
= 200 in^2
Now let's find the area of the triangle that is removed.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 base * height.
Here base = 10 and height = 8. Plug in these values into the formula, we get
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 10*8
= 5* 8
The area of the triangle = 40 in^2
The area of the remaining figure = Area of the rectangle - area of the triangle
= 200 - 40
= 160 in^2
The answer is "160 in^2"
Thank you.
800 is 10% of 8,000. So half of 800 is 400. That makes the percent of her sale that is Avery's commision is 5%.
The image for this is attached for reference. This problem can be used by the Pythagorean equation. To make solving convenient, let us see only one part of the tent. Hence, one side is half of the tend width which is 16/2ft. Height is 12 ft. The unknown side is the hypotenuse. The answer is:
area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height
56.4 = 1/2 x 12 x height
56.4 = 6 x height
height = 56.4 /6 = 9.4cm
