Answer:

The longer length is 35ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 560

Perimeter = 102

Required

Determine the longer length

Represent the length with L and width with W

So, we have:

L * W = 560 --- Area

2*(L+W) = 102 --- Perimeter

Divide both sides by 2 in:

2*(L+W) = 102

L + W = 51

Make L the subject:

L = 51 - W

Substitute 51 - W for L in L * W = 560

(51 - W) * W = 560

51W - W^2 = 560

Reorder the equation

W^2 - 51W + 560 = 0

Expand

W^2 -35W - 16W + 560 = 0

W(W-35)-16(W-35) = 0

(W-16)(W-35) = 0

Split:

W - 16 = 0\ \ \ W - 35 = 0

W = 16\ \ \ W = 35

This implies that the longer length is 35ft

What is the measure of x?
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right angle so the sum of those would be equal to 90 degrees

x + 7 + 3x - 5 = 90 add like terms

4x + 2 = 90 subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 88 divide both sides by 4

x = 22

A sector with a radius of 15 cm has a central angle measure of 8π/5 what is the area of the sector
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

area of the sector = 360π cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of the sector, we will follow the steps below;

First write down the formula for calculating the area of a sector.

If angle Ф is measured in degree, then

area of sector = Ф/360   × πr²

but if angle Ф is measured in radians, then

area of sector = 1/2 × r² × Ф

In this case the angle is measured in radiance, hence we will use the second formula

From the question given, radius = 15 cm  and angle Ф = 8π/5

area of sector = 1/2 × r² × Ф  

                         =1/2 × 15² ×  8π/5

                         =1/2 ×225 × 8π/5

                          =360π cm²

area of the sector = 360π cm²

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 80 cm. What are the dime
Nat2105 [25]

Let the width be x

The length would be 2x-5

So, 2(x+2x-5)=80

3x-5=40

3x=45

x=15.

So the width is 15 and the length would be 25.

A company makes a profit of $7 per software program and $8 per video game. The company can produce at most 90 software programs
g100num [7]

Answer:

930 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let software programs = S

Video game = V

Given that a company makes a profit of $7 per software program that is, 7S and $8 per video game that is, 8V. The company can produce at most 90 software programs and at most 80 video games per week. Since the Total production cannot exceed 120 items per week.

How many items of each kind should be produced per week in order to maximize the profit?

The to get profit P

P = 7S + 8V

Since the profit on video game is higher, we will give maximum production to video game. Therefore,

P = (30 × 7) + ( 8 × 90)

P = 210 + 720

P = 930 dollars
