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

Write 22 4/5 as a decimal​
romanna [79]

change to improper fraction:

22 4/5

22*5=110+4=114

114/5

divide:

114/5=22.8

Thus, 22 4/5 as a decimal is 22.8

PLAYSTOP6The volume of the solid iscubic feet. Use the formula V = Bh. All angles are 90°.9 ft.6 ft.ft.3 ft.2 ft.2ft.
ira [324]

Volumen of A Solid

Given a solid with a shape of a constant base B and height H, the volume is:

V = BH

The height of the solid is 1 1/4 ft. We need to calculate the area of the base.

The base consists of a larger rectangle from which has been taken a smaller rectangle.

The larger rectangle has dimensions of 9 ft by 6 ft, thus its area is:

A1 = 9 ft * 6 ft = 54 square ft

The smaller rectangle has dimensions of 2 1/2 ft by 4 ft.

The second dimension was calculated as the difference between 9 ft and 2 ft plus 3 ft. (9 ft - 3 ft - 2 ft = 4 ft).

The area of the smaller rectangle is:

A2 = 2 1/2 * 4

The mixed fraction 2 1/2 is converted to improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 2 + 1/2 = 5/2

Thus, the area is:

A2 = 5/2 * 4

A2 = 10 square feet

The area of the base is A1 - A2 = 54 square feet - 10 square feet = 44 square feet

B = 44 square feet.

Now for the volume:

V = 44 square feet * 1 1/4 feet

Again the mixed fraction is converted to a single fraction:

1 1/4 = 1 + 1/4 = 5/4

V = 44 square feet * 5/4 feet

V = 55 cubic feet

What number is 54% of 125 type an integer or a decimal round to the nearest tenth
eimsori [14]
Answer is 67.5

To get this you must first turn 54% into a decimal.
54%---> .54
125*.54= 67.5
So 54% of 125 is 67.5 <span />

Points P(5, 7) and Q(-1, 1) lie on the graph of y = x + 2.
Arisa [49]

Answer:

R is not collinear.

S is collinear.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the graph is given by y =x +2 ........ (1).

Now, the points P and Q having coordinates (5,7) and (-1,1) respectively lie on the graph of the equation (1) because those points satisfy the equation.

Now, if we consider another point R having coordinates (1,-1), then it does not lie on the graph of equation (1) as it does not satisfy the equation.{If you put x=1, then y will be 3 but not -1}

Therefore, P, Q, R are not collinear. (Answer)

Again if we consider the point S(-3,-1), it satisfies equation (1).{If you put x=-3 in the equation (1), y will be -1}.

Therefore, P, Q, and S lie on the same straight line. and they are collinear. (Answer)

What is the length of CD? In this diagram, AABC ~ AEDC. 20-% c * 7 21​
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AC}{EC}

\frac{20-x}{x} =\frac{21}{7}

\frac{20-x}{x} =3

20-x=3x

4x=20

x=5

So, CD=5
