A rectangular prism has a base area of 56 square feet and a volume of 840 cubic feet. The length of the base is longer than the

width. If the sum of the length and width of the base is equal to the height of the pyramid, what is the length of the base in feet?

The answer is 8 ft.

The base area of rectangular prism is: A = l * w = 56 ft²
<span>The length of the base is longer than the width: l > w

The volume of the prism is: V = l * w * h = 840 ft</span>³
<span>The sum of the length and width of the base is equal to the height of the pyramid: l + w = h

So:
</span>l * w = 56
l * w * h = 840
___
56 * h = 840
h = 840 / 56
h = 15 ft

Now, we know that
l + w = 15         ⇒ w = 15 - l
l * w = 56
___
l * (15 - l) = 56
15l - l² = 56
0 = l² - 15l + 56

Or: l² - 15l + 56 = 0

Let's solve the quadratic function:
l = (-b +/-√(b² - 4ac)/(2a)
  = (15 +/-√(-15)² - 4 * 1 * 56))/(2*1)
  = (15 +/- √(225 - 224))/2
  = (15 +/- √1)/2
  = (15 +/-1)/2
 
l = (15+1)/2 = 16/2 = 8
or
l = (15-1)/2 = 14/2 = 7

If l = 8, then w = 15 - 8 = 7.    So, l > w
If l = 7, then w = 15 - 7 = 8.     So, l < w

Therefore, l = 8 ft.

11. Mr Lee bought a second hand car for
Marrrta [24]

Answer :

Depends on the rate compound interest is accrued. See answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the compound interest formula which is:

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A =  final amount

P =  initial principal balance

r =  interest rate

n =  number of times interest applied per time period

t =  number of time periods elapsed

It doesn't say how frequently the interest is compounded, so we will do monthly, quarterly, and yearly.

MONTHLY

So we know the car costs $25,480 and he made a down payment of $10,000. By subtracting the down payment from the purchase price we find the loan amount.

$25,480 - $10,000 = $15,480

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 12  (12 months in a year)

t = 2  

Plug everything into the compound interest formula.

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{12*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{24}

A = 15480(1+.00396)^{24}

A = 15480(1.00396)^{24}

A = 15480*1.0992

A = $17016.14

Mr. Lee paid $17,016.14 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded monthly.

QUARTERLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 4  (4 quarters in a year)

t = 2  

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{4*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{4})^{8}

A = 15480(1+.0119})^{8}

A = 15480(1.0119)^{8}

A = 15480*1.099

A = 15480(1.099)

A = 17013.20

Mr. Lee paid $17,013.20 when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded quarterly.

YEARLY

P = 15,480

r = 4.75% = .0475

n = 1  

t = 2  

A = P (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{1})^{1*2}

A = 15480(1+\frac{.0475}{12})^{2}

A = 15480(1+.0475})^{2}

A = 15480(1.0475)^{2}

A = 15480*1.0973

A = 16985.53

Mr. Lee paid $16,985.53  when the bill came due at 2 years with interest compounded yearly.

If A is the reference angle, which side is the opposite?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

BC

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be BC because you are basically taking the angle and drawing an arrow to the opposite side. another trick would be choosing an answer choice without the letter in it. also you didn't put what shape so I assumed it was a triangle
