Let m be the amount of money he had

m - (1/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
(2/3)m - 5 = (1/2)m
Subtract both sides by (1/2)m
(2/3 - 1/2)m - 5 = 0
(1/6)m - 5 = 0
Add both sides by 5
(1/6)m = 5
Multiply both sides by 6
m = 30

Peter started with 30 dollars.

Have an awesome day! :)

The wire must be 10 ft.

//

3.

7² + 14² = 245²

The rope is 15.65 ft.

//

4.

180² + 300² = 122400²

He ran 349.85 ft.

Find the area of this figure.
umka2103 [35]
Rectangle

l = 7.2 - 1.7 = 5.5 ft            b = 3.4 ft

Semicircle

r = 1.7 ft

Shaded region = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= l x b + πr²/2

= 5.5 x 3.4 + 3.14 x 1.7 x 1.7 x 1/2

= 18.7 + 4.5373

= 23.2373 ft²

U = (-2,3)

V = (3,0)

midpoint of UV

= ( (3-2)/2 , (3+0)/2 )

= ( 1/2 , 3/2)

= ( 0.5 , 1.5)

X = (0.5 , 1.5) [from fig]

midpoint of UV = X

W= (-2,-3)

V =( 3.0)

Y = ( (-2+3)/2 , (-3+0)/2 )

= (0.5 , - 1.5)

Y = ( 0.5 , -1.5) [ from fig ]

Y is the midpoint of WV

by midpoint theorem ,

UW = 2( XY )
