Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

A rectangle’s width is one-fourth of its length.

W = 1/4 × L

W = L/4

Cross Multiply

L = 4W

A = 9 square units

Hence

9 = L × W

We substitute 4W for L

9 = 4W × W

9 = 4W²

We square root both side

√9 = √4W²

3 = 2W

W = 3/2

W = 1 1/2 unit or 1.5 units

Solving for L = Length

9 = L × W

9 = L × 1.5

L = 9/1.5

L = 6 units

Therefore, the Length of the rectangle = 6 units

A whale costs $14700 and depreciates in value by 8% per year. When will the whale be worth $100
sammy [17]

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking

$14,700 * (1 - 8%)^x = $100

$14,700 * (1 - 0.08)^x = $100

$14,700 * (0.92)^x = $100

(0.92)^x = $100/$14,700

log(0.92^x) = log($100/$14,700)

x * log(0.92) = log(0.0068027)

x = log(0.0068027)/log(0.92)

x = 59.85

Since this question is asking in terms of years, we always round up (in this case to 60), as it won't fully be worth $100 by the beginning of the 59th year.

Since each leg of the large trapezoid is bisected, then HJ is the average of the lengths of KL and NM.

HJ = (KL + NM)/2

2(HJ) = KL + nm

2(5x + 2) = 4x + 1 + 27

10x + 4 = 4x + 28

6x = 24

x = 4

KL = 4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Answer: KL = 17
