Area = 44 ft2 (x – 12) ft (x - 5) ft

Mathematics
1 answer:
Maru [420]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing the shape given is a rectangle? Anyways, to find the area we multiply the sides, this gives us the equation:

(x - 12)(x - 5) = 44

We can distribute to get

x^2 - 12x - 5x + 60 = 44

x^2 - 17x + 60 = 44

Now, to get the equation equal to zero, we can subtract 44 from both sides:

x^2 - 17x + 16 = 0

To factor this, we are looking for two numbers that multiply to 16 and add up to -17. These two numbers are -1 & -16, therefore, the factored form is:

(x - 1)(x - 16) = 0

We can use the zero product property to say x = 1 and x = 16. We can cross out the solution x = 1, because when plugged in, we get side lengths less than one. So the sole answer is x = 16.

inna [77]
First, you need to find how much an ounce costs. To do that, you have to divide 1.39 by 8. Then you get about 0.17. Now, you multiply 0.17 by 14, and get the answer of 2.38. Therefore, a 14-oz bottle of ketchup costs $2.38.

The length of an arc of a circle is 9.42cm. If the diameter of the circle is 10cm, find the angle subtended by the arc at the ce
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

1.89 radians  or 108 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the circle = 10 * 3.142

= 31.42.

So 31.42 is equivalent to 2 pi radians, so:

Angle subtended at the center

= (9.42 / 31.42) * 2 pi

=  (9.42 / 31.42) * 2 * 3.142

= 1.89 radians  or 108 degrees..

Bond [772]

Answer:

$129

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount received last year = $100

Amount received this year = x

x = 29% more of last year

x = $100 + ($100 * 29%)

x = $100 + ($100 * 29 / 100)

x = $100 + $29

x = $129
