Answer:

The width is 20.625 and the length is 19.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2 1/2 + w = length

Let w = width

Equation:

2 1/2 + w + w = 80                     Combine liked terms

2 1/2 + 2w = 80                    

-2 1/2         -2 1/2                        Subtract 2 1/2 from both sides

2w  =   77.5

÷ 2     ÷ 2                                    Divide 2 from both sides

w = 41.25

Length:

2 1/2 + 41.25 = 165/4 or 38.75

Width:

41.25

41.25/2 = 20.625

38.75/2 = 19.375

Six times a number is at least four less than eight times the number. If x represents the number, which will help find the numbe
jeyben [28]

Answer:

The inequation 6x ≥ 8x - 4 can be used to find the solution.

The solution is x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number then six times a number is the multiplication of x by 6, and four less than eight times the number can be written as: 8x -4

6x ≥ 8x - 4

Solving the inequation;

Subtracting 6x each side:

0 ≥ 8x - 6x -4

Summing 4 each side

4 ≥ 2x

Dividing by 2 each side

2 ≥ x

2 greater or equal than x is the same as:

x ≤ 2

A retailer sells a refrigerator for a list price of $1,200. The retailers cost was $850. What is the percentage of the markup?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

41%

Step-by-step explanation:

1200-850=350

350 is the markup, now we need the percentage

the orginal price was 850 so we just need to divide 350 by 850

we get 0.4117...

convert that to a percentage and we have 41% markup

Trigonometry questions

We'll use standard labeling of right triangle ABC, C=90 degrees, legs a, b, hypotenuse c.

11.

Right triangle, cliff peak A, boat B, angle opposite cliff is B=28.9 deg. adjacent leg a=65.7 m, cliff height is leg b.

tan B = b/a

b = a tan B = 65.7 tan 28.9° = 36.3 m

12.

Similar story, boat at B, opposite b=3.5 m, rope c=12 m

sin B = b/c

B = arcsin b/c = arcsin (3.5/12) = 17.0°

13.

c=124 m, A=58°

sin A = a/c

a = c sin A = 124 sin 58 = 105.2 m

14.

That's a hypotenuse c=4-1.2 = 2.8 m to a height b=1.8m so

cos A = b/c

A = arccos b/c = arccos (1.8/2.8) = 50.0°

15.

Not a right triangle, an isosceles triangle.  Half of it is a right triangle with hypotenuse one arm, c=9.8 cm and angle opposite half the base of B=62/2=31°.  We're after d=2b:

sin B = b/c

b = c sin B

d = 2b = 2 c sin B = 2(9.8) sin 31 = 10.1 cm
