Part (a)
<h3>Answer:
2(2.4+w) = 14.2</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
L = 2.4 = length
W = unknown width
The perimeter of any rectangle is P = 2(L+W)
We replace L with 2.4, and replace P with 14.2 to get 14.2 = 2(2.4+w) which is equivalent to 2(2.4+w) = 14.2
========================================================
Part (b)
<h3>Answer:
w = 4.7</h3>
--------------
Explanation:
We'll solve the equation we set up in part (a)
2(2.4+w) = 14.2
2(2.4)+2(w) = 14.2
4.8+2w = 14.2
2w = 14.2-4.8
2w = 9.4
w = 9.4/2
w = 4.7
The width must be 4.7 cm.
Answer:
390 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The longer base of a trapezoid is 8 ft. The longer base of a similar trapezoid is 13 ft. The area of the smaller trapezoid is 240 ft² What is the area of the larger trapezoid?
We solve the above question using proportion
(Longer base/Area of trapezoid) smaller trapezoid = (Longer base/Area of trapezoid) bigger trapezoid
Let the the Area of the bigger trapezoid = x
Hence,
= 8ft/240ft = 13ft/x ft
Cross Multiply
8ft × x = 240ft × 13ft
x = 240ft² × 12 ft/8 ft
x = 390 ft²
Answer:
$46
Step-by-step explanation:
40(0.15) = 6 (this is the amount of the tip)
40 + 6 = 46 (add the tip to the bill)
