Answer:

29.15 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula ...

A = LW

Filling in the given information, we can find the missing side length.

297 in² = (27 in)h

h = (297 in²)/(27 in) = 11 in

The length of the diagonal can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

d² = 27² + 11² = 729 +121 = 850

d = √850 = 5√34 ≈ 29.15476

The length of the diagonal is about 29.15 inches.

32. The length of a rectangle measures six more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 38.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 12.5

You start with the equations "2x +2y=38" and "6+x=y". By adding and subtracting in the second equation, you get "2x +2y=38" and "x-y=-6". When you multiply the second equation by 2, you get "2x-2y=-12."

subtracting the equations "2x +2y=38" and "2x-2y=-12" gets you to "4y=50", where you have to divide two sides by 4 and get "y=12.5"

The floor of a room measures 5 meters by 7 meters. A carpet sells 285 pesos per square meter. How much would it cost to carpet t

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Find the area of the rug by multiplying the length by the width:

7 x 5 = 35 square meters.

Now multiply the area of the rug by the cost:

35 square meters x 285 pesos per square meter = 9,975 total pesos.

Jerrod’s family drove 1,778 miles from Denver, Colorado, to New York City. They averaged 61.7 miles per hour on the trip. Which

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The best estimate for the number of hours the family drove is 28.8 Hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance Jarrod's family drove is 1778 miles and their average speed was 61.7 miles/hour, and we need the best estimate for the number of hours the family drove. For this we use the distance formula

$D=vt$

and use solve for t:

$t=\frac{D}{v}$ $=\frac{1778\:miles}{61.7\:miles/hr} = \boxed{28.8\:hours.}$

Thus the best estimate for the hours driven is 28.8 hours.

<em>It is only an estimate because the speed given is the average speed.</em>
