Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 192 m²
Perimeter= 56 m
Width = x m
Perimeter = 56
2*(length + width) = 56
Divide the equation by 2
l + x = 56/2
l + x = 28
l = 28 - x
Area = 192 m²
l * w = 192
(28 - x)*x = 192
28x - x*x = 192
0 = 192 - 28x + x²
x² - 28x + 192 = 0
2) Equation is a quadratic equation. The roots of this equation will the dimensions of the rectangular plot.
3) The roots represent the width and length of the rectangle.
x² - 28x +192 = 0
Sum = -28
Product =192
Factors = -16 , -12 {-16 +(-12) = -28 & (-12)*(-16) = 192}
x² - 28x + 192 = 0
x² - 12x - 16x + (-16)*(-12) = 0
x(x -12) - 16(x - 12) = 0
(x - 12)(x -16) =0
x -12 = 0 ; x - 16 = 0
x = 12 ; x = 16
x = 12 ,16
4) Sum of the roots = 12 + 16 = 28
Sum of the roots = half of the perimeter
5) Product of the roots = 12*16 = 192 = area of the rectangle.
Answer:
9 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
- 6 # plastic bricks
- 4 # wooden blocks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the number of pounds of plastic bricks in the mix. Then the number of pounds of wooden blocks is (10-p), and the total cost is ...
10p +5(10-p) = 80
5p = 30 . . . . . . . . . subtract 50
p = 6 . . . . divide by 5; there are 6 pounds of plastic bricks in the mix
4 pounds of wooden blocks and 6 pounds of plastic bricks should be used to make a 10-lb mix worth $80.
Answer:
180
Step-by-step explanation:
1%=3
25%=75
15%=45
100-(25+15)=60
60%=60*3=180
