Answer: Choice B
12.5 < x < 18.9
================================================
Explanation:
We have a triangle with these side lengths:
- a = 10
- b = 16
- c = x = unknown
Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.
By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need
to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.
So,

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.
Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9
This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9
Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
Answer:
(a)i. Area=72 square feet
ii. Perimeter =34 feet
(b) Baseboard - perimeter
Carpet - area
Step-by-step explanation:
The room is 9ft x 8ft, therefore it is rectangular shaped.
Length=9ft; Breadth=8ft
(a)i. Area of a Rectangle= Length X Breadth
Area of the room=8X9=72 square feet
ii. Perimeter of a Rectangle=2(Length+Breadth)
Perimeter of the room=2(8+9)=2 X 17 =34 feet
(b) A baseboard goes around the edge or boundary of the room, so it has to do with perimeter
A carpet covers the entire floor so it has to do with the area of the room.
Answer:
5.93 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The continuous compounding formula tells you the amount after t years will be ...
A = Pe^(rt) . . . . principal P compounded continuously at annual rate r for t years
7400 = 5500e^(0.05t)
ln(7400/5500) = 0.05t . . . . divide by 5500, take natural logs
t = 20×ln(74/55) ≈ 5.93
It will take about 5.93 years for $5500 to grow to $7400.
