Answer: Choice B) 17.5 feet

A = Area of rectangle

L = length

W = width

The formula to use is A = L*W, so we multiply length and width.

We know W = 7 but we don't know what L is.

We know that A = 122.5 is also given

So let's solve for L

A = L*W

L*W = A

L*7 = 122.5     plug in the given values

7*L = 122.5

7*L/7 = 122.5/7     divide both sides by 7

L = 17.5

He should cut 17.5 feet of streamer. Keep in mind that this only applies if Adrian wants to make the streamer completely taut and a straight line across the ceiling/wall. If he wants the streamer to hang down a bit (forming a shape like a rope bridge in a sense), then the streamer's length will have to be a bit longer to account for the extra distance along the curve.

For what value of "a" will the product shown below have a purely imaginary value? (Show work please)
MakcuM [25]
If you expand out the brackets you get this,

(4+5i)(a+2i) = 4a + (5a)i + 8i - 10

The -10 comes from 5i * 2i.
Squaring i becomes -1.

Let's group the real stuff together,
and imaginary separately,

(4a - 10) + (5a + 8)i

For this to be purely imaginary,
the real part needs to be zero.

Therefore 4a - 10 = 0

Solve for a.

A right triangle's height is 3 times the length of its base. if the area of the triangle is 486, what is the height?
Irina-Kira [14]
The formula of the area of a triangle:
A_\Delta=\dfrac{bh}{2}
b - the bash - the height
We have:
b - the base3b - the height486 - the area

Substitute:
\dfrac{3b\cdot b}{2}=486\ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\3b^2=972\ \ \ |:3\\\\b^2=324\to b=\sqrt{324}\\\\b=16\to h=3b=3\cdot18=54
Answer: The length of the height is equal 54 units.
