The area of the rectangle is 40% larger than the area of the triangle.What is the length ,L, of the rectangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nezavi [6.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle (A') = 1/2bh

A' = 1/2bh............ Equation 1

Where b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle

From the diagram,

Given: b = 12.5 unit, h = 4 unit

Substitute into equation 1

A' = 1/2(12.5)(4)

A' = 25 squared unit.

Also,

Area of the rectangle (A) = Lenght(L)×width(w)

A = Lw............ Equation 2

From the question,

If the area of the rectangle is 40% larger than the area of the triangle

Therefore,

A = 1.4A'

A = 1.4(25)

A = 35 squared unit.

Also given: w = 3\frac{1}{2} = 7/2

Substitute into equation 2

35 = L×7/2

7L = 35×2

7L = 70

L = 70/7

L = 10 units

A regular decagon has sides that are 8 cm long. What is the area of the figure? Round to the nearest whole number.
blsea [12.9K]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the regular decagon has sides that are 8 cm long.

We need to determine the area of the regular decagon.

<u>Area of the regular decagon:</u>

The area of the regular decagon can be determined using the formula,

A=\frac{s^{2} n}{4 \tan \left(\frac{180}{n}\right)}

where s is the length of the side and n is the number of sides.

Substituting s = 8 and n = 10, we get;

A=\frac{8^{2} \times 10}{4 \tan \left(\frac{180}{10}\right)}

Simplifying, we get;

A=\frac{64 \times 10}{4 (\tan \ 18)}

A=\frac{640}{4 (0.325)}

A=\frac{640}{1.3}

A=642.3

Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;

A=642 \ cm^2

Thus, the area of the regular decagon is 642 cm²

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

A metal bar weighs 9.25 ounces. 65% of the bar is gold. how many ounces of gold is in the bar?
Elza [17]
Not sure I'm right but:

If the bar weighs 9.25 ounces and 65% of the bar is gold, you'd do 65% of 9.25. So the answer would be <span>65% of 9.25= 6.0125</span>

Find the missing side of each right triangle. Side c is the hypotenuse. Sides a and b are the legs. Leave your answers in simple
vredina [299]

Answer:

Side b = 10.2 m (1 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

11² = 121

15² = 225

225 - 121 = 104

√104 = 10.2 (1 d.p.)  

Side b = 10.2m

(Full answer = 10.198039)

11² + 10.2² = 15²
