Total awpaws and guavas sold in a week = 328

Let the number of pawpas and guavas be x

ATQ

3x + 5x = 328

8x = 328

x = 328/8

x = 41

Pawapas in a week = 123

Guavas in a week = 205

According to the key of a particular park map, every 8 inches on the map represents 3 miles of trails in the park. How many inch

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you take into account that 8 inches represents 3 miles and that x represent the number of inches for 9 miles. That is:

8 ------- 3

x ------- 9

This is simply a rule of three, then you calculate:

$x=\frac{8\ x\ 9}{3}=\frac{72}{3}=24$

Hence, 24 inches represents 9 miles in the map

The coordinates of the vertices of a rectangle are (−3, 4) , (7, 2) , (6, −3) , and (−4, −1) . What is the perimeter of the rect

ki77a [65]

Answrer

Find out the what is the perimeter of the rectangle .

To prove

Now as shown in the figure.

Name the coordinates as.

A(−3, 4) ,B (7, 2) , C(6, −3) , and D(−4, −1) .

In rectangle opposite sides are equal.

Thus

AB = DC

AD = BC

Formula

$Disatnce\ formula = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}$

Now the points A(−3, 4) and B(7, 2)

$AB = \sqrt{(7- (-3))^{2} +(2- 4)^{2}}$

$AB = \sqrt{(10)^{2} +(-2)^{2}}$

$AB = \sqrt{100+4}$

$AB = \sqrt{104}$

$AB = 2\sqrt{26}\units$

Thus

$CD= 2\sqrt{26}\units$

Now the points

A (−3, 4) , D (−4, −1)

$AD = \sqrt{(-4 - (-3))^{2} +(-1- 4)^{2}}$

$AD = \sqrt{(-1)^{2} +(-5)^{2}}$

$AD = \sqrt{1 + 25}$

$AD = \sqrt{26}\units$

Thus

$BC = \sqrt{26}\units$

Formula

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

Here

$Length = 2\sqrt{26}\ units$

$Breadth = \sqrt{26}\ units$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(2\sqrt{26} +\sqrt{26})$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 2(3\sqrt{26})$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\sqrt{26}$

$\sqrt{26} = 5.1 (Approx)$

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle = 6\times 5.1$

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30.6 units.

Therefore the perimeter of a rectangle is 30.6 units.
