L = 4 + w
l/w = 7/5
l = 7w/5

7w/5 = 5 + w
7w = 25 + 5w
2w = 25
w = 12.5

l = 4 + 12.5
l = 16.5

the dimensions are 16.5 x 12.5 cm

If x = 2y = 3 <br>find xy-y+ x × x

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

here ....x = 2 and y = 3

$= xy - y + x \times x$

$= 2 \times 3 - 3 + 2 + 2 \times 2$

$= 6 - 3 + 2 + 4$

$= 12 - 3$

$= 9$

8) The height of a building h varies directly as the length and inversely as the width, if h = 25m when l = 10m and w = 5m, find

shtirl [24]

Let h,l, and w represent the height, length, and width of the building respectively

Then

$\begin{gathered} h\text{ = }\frac{kl}{w} \\ \text{where k is the constant of proportionality} \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow k=\frac{hw}{l} \\ \Rightarrow k=\frac{25\times5}{10}=12.5 \end{gathered}$ $\Rightarrow h=\frac{12.5l}{w}$

The new value of h = 50m, but l remains the same.

That is l = 10m

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} \frac{50}{1}=\frac{12.5\times10}{w} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{50}{1}=\frac{125}{w} \\ \text{Cross multiplying, we have} \\ 50w\text{ = 125} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ w=}\frac{125}{50}=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the width is 2.5m

During a building project, a brick is

taurus [48]

The brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

<h3>What are quadratic equations?</h3>

Given the equation for height as a function of time is h(t) = -16t2 + 1,296

The height of the brick on the ground is h(t) = 0. Substitute h(t) = 0 into the equation as shown:

-16t2 + 1,296 = 0

Subtract 1296 from both sides

-16t² + 1,296 - 1296 = 0 - 1296

16t² = 1296

t² = 1296/16

t² = 81

t = 9secs

Hence the brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

Which is an equation of the line with a slope of 2 that passes through ( 3 , 1 )?

Lena [83]

$\huge\underline{\overline{\mid{\bold{\red{ANSWER}}\mid}}}$

let the solution be $ax + by - c = 0$

let the solutions be a = 3, b = 1

$3x + y = 0$ is the equation with consistent value.
