Answer:

$47,600 Spent on home repairs

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that Devon is spending 12 percent of the home cost on repairs

We know the home cost is 42,500

So we just add 12 percent to the bundle

We know 42,500 is 100 percent of the price

And we want to add another 12 percent since the question is asking for the total amount spent on homes

So initially we just multiply 42,500 by 112% or 1.12

Now just multiply

You’ll get 47,600

How to do the problem

Answer:

1.) x = 14.96ft

2.) The shorter leg is 6 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) a^2 + b^2 = c^2

  • a and b = legs of the triangle
  • c = hypotenuse the longest side

15ft^2 + x^2 = (2x +1)^2

  • 225 + x^2 = (2x^2 + 1^2)
  • 225 = 2x^2 + 1 - x^2
  • 225 = x^2 + 1
  • 225 - 1 = x^2 +1 - 1
  • √224 = √x^2
  • x = 14.9662...

2.) Longer leg a = x+2,  shorter leg b = x, Hyp. c= 2x-2

Equation:

  • (x+2)^2 + x^2 = (2x-2)^2

Solve:

  • (x+2)(x+2) + x^2 = (2x-2)(2x-2)
  • x^2 + 4x + 4 + x^2 = 4x^2 - 8x +4
  • 2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 4x^2 - 8x +4
  • 2x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4x^2 +8x - 4 = 4x^2 - 4x^2 - 8x + 8x + 4 - 4
  • -2x^2 + 12x = 0
  • 2x (-x + 6) = 0

Answers:

  • 2x = 0
  • -x + 6 = 0
  • <u>x=0 -or- x=6</u>

<u>Since x cannot equal 0 due to the known length of the triangle needs to be more than 0 the answer for x equals 0.</u>

<u>B=6</u>

Check:

  • A = x + 2: A= 6 +2 = 8
  • B= 6
  • C = 2x -2: C= 2(6) -2 = 10

8^2 + 6^2 = 10^2

  • 64 + 36 = 100
  • 100= 100

A water canal has a rectangular cross section 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep. How much water is contained in a 30-meter length
Alex
Basically you are finding the volume of a rectangular prism of 3 by 2 meters cross section and 30 meters length.  Volume = (3 m)(2 m)(30 m) = 180 cubic meters.

If 60% of the water has evaporated, 40% is left.  Find 40% of 180 cubic meters to answer the 2nd part of this question.
