Answer: 5.7\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle has an area of 19.38\ cm^2

Suppose rectangle length and width are l and w

If each side is increased by 1.50\ cm

Area becomes A_2=35.28\ cm^2

We can write

\Rightarrow lw=19.38\quad \ldots(i)\\\\\Rightarrow (l+1.5)(w+1.5)=35.28\\\Rightarrow lw+1.5(l+w)+1.5^2=35.28\\\text{use (i) for}\ lw\\\Rightarrow 19.38+1.5(l+w)=35.28-2.25\\\Rightarrow l+w=9.1\quad \ldots(ii)

Substitute the value of width from (ii) in equation (i)

\Rightarrow l(9.1-l)=19.38\\\Rightarrow l^2-9.1l+19.38=0\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{(-9.1)^2-4(1)(19.38)}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{5.29}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm2.3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=3.4,\ 5.7

Width corresponding to these lengths

w=5.7,\ 3.4

Therfore, we can write the length of the longer side is 5.7\ cm

RoseWind [281]

Answer: 84.09%


Step-by-step explanation:

1. 220-30=? ?=185

2. Divide 185 by 220 (as a fraction, 185 out of 220 is 185/220 which also means divide) 185 divided by 220 is about 0.8409

3. Multiply 0.8409 by 100 (since there is two zeros in 100 we can move the decimal to the right twice which gets you 84.09

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Option B,contract job

Step-by-step explanation:

It is likely the number of hours in a work week is 40 hours .

With fifty weeks in year 2020 and 10 ten days of Bank Holidays,the gross annual income from the contract full time employment can be computed thus

gross annual income=$40*40*(53-2)=$81,600

The pay is $40 per hour

In a week 40 hours are worked

There are fifty three weeks in the year minus 10 days of holiday which represents 2 working weeks for a Monday to Friday job

The gross annual income for full time permanent role is $78,000

As a result,the full time contract job pays more
