Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the larger. The smaller is 4 less than the larger
x - 4 would be the smaller.
Answer:
Each friend will get of whole pan of corn bread
Step-by-step explanation:
As given,
Corn bread left =
Total number of friends = 2
So the left bread will divide into 2 parts
So, each person will get = ( ) = of the left bread
Now,
Left bread = of whole bread
And
Each person get = of the left bread
= × of whole bread
= of whole bread
∴ we get
Each friend will get of whole pan of corn bread
Answer:
1. 51
2. 8
3. √2 or 1.41
Step-by-step explanation:
using pythagorean theorem
Two of the three side lengths are given. To find the area of the triangular piece of land, we'll need to calculate the length of the third side, the side opposite the 100 degree angle. Use the Law of Cosines for this task.
a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2ac*cosA
Here, a^2 = 500^2 + 750^2 - 2(500)(750)cos 100 deg, or
a^2 = 250000 + 572500 - 750000(-0.1736), or
= 692264
Then a = +sqrt(692264) = 832 yds
Use Heron's Formula to find the area of the land.
First, calculate s=(a+b+c)/2: (500+750+832)/2 = 1041=s
According to Heron's Formula, A = sqrt( s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) )
Here, A = sqrt( 1041*(1041-500)*(1041-750)*(1041-832) )
I will leave this calculation to you to complete.
Suppose the area of the land is A square yards. Convert this to acres, using the fact that 1 acre = 4840 yd^2.
In acres, the area is
1 acre
A* ---------------- = (A/4840) acres
4840 yd^2
How much will this cost? Recall that the unit cost of the land is $2300/acre.
Then the total cost will be:
$2300
(A/4840) acres * ------------- = 0.475*A dollars. (Substitute your value for A)
1 acre
Answer:
a. f(x)=58-5(x-1); there are 58 boxes in the top row.
b. 273 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 33 boxes at the bottom row, and there are 5 fewer boxes than the row before it meaning that each row above the bottom row has five more boxes than the one below it.
Basically:
bottom row (with 33 boxes) -->5th row-->4th row-->3rd row-->2nd row-->1st row
each arrow adds five boxes, so if you add 5 boxes for each arrow, there is a total of 58 boxes on the 1st row.
check:
2nd row:
f(x)=58-5(x-1)
f(2)=58-5(2-1)
f(2)=58-5(1)
f(2)=58-5
f(2)=53
and we know that 58 (first row)-5=53 (second row; has to have five fewer boxes) so the function works.
now we can use the formula to find the other row values:
3rd row:
f(x)=58-5(x-1)
f(3)=58-5(3-1)
f(3)=58-5(2)
f(3)=58-10
f(3)=48
4th row:
f(x)=58-5(x-1)
f(4)=58-5(4-1)
f(4)=58-5(3)
f(4)=58-15
f(4)=43
5th row:
f(x)=58-5(x-1)
f(5)=58-5(5-1)
f(5)=58-5(4)
f(5)=58-20
f(5)=38
so, we have the row values from top to bottom:
58, 53, 48, 43, 38, 33
now we just have to add them up, giving us 273 boxes in total.
