Answer: 32 inches


Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the interior angles in a rectangle are right angles.

Therefore, the triangle which is formed by the diagonal and the shorter side of the tile with the longer side will be right triangle.

By trigonometry, in right triangle

\tan{\theta}=\frac{\text{side opposite to }\theta}{\text{side adjacent to }\theta}

let x be the smaller side.

Therefore,

\tan72^{\circ}=\frac{12}{x}\\\Rightarrow\ 3.077683=\frac{12}{x}\\\Rightarrow\ x=12\times3.077683\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.89903703533\approx4\ inches

The perimeter of the rectangular tile= 2(12+4)=2(16)=32\ inches

Answer:

b)-9,2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+7x-18=0

x^2+9x-2x-18=0

x(x+9)-2(x+9)=0

(x+9)(x-2)=0

therefore

x=-9

x=2

Suppose you charge $4.50/h for baby-sitting. How much will you earn baby-sitting for 3 1/2 hours?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

You will earn $15.75, $13.50, or $18 depending on how you are getting paid

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are getting paid a flat rate not by the hour, then simply multiply $3.50 by 3.5 to get $15.75

If you are getting paid by the hour, and only by full hours, the you get $3.50 for the first, second, and third hour, but not for the fourth hour because it has only been a half hour, so only $13.50.

If you are getting paid for each hour that you start, then you get $3.50 for four hours, or $18.00 total
