Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
yes, i agree. the right angle is 90 and 90+90=180. The law of the congruent angle states that if one angle in a the plane is right then the other connected must be as well, making line L 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
i badly explained it however you should get the answer correct with that. i think... use your brain in addition to mine.
C
Because the total amount between 2 and 17 is 15. 3/5 of 15 is 9
Turning up the edges of the sheet metal will result in the 20 inches of
metal being divided into x inches of the first side, then the unknown
width of the gutter (let's call it "y") and then again x inches for the
second side.
As a picture:
x|______|x/y
As a formula:
20 = x + y + x = 2x + y
Resolving this to y we get:
20 - 2x = y
and switching it around:
y = 20 - 2x,
Now for part b) of your question:
The area of the gutter's cross-section is its width (y) multiplied with its height (x).
A(x,y) = x * y
If we use our result from a) to eliminate y then we can see that
A(x) = x * y = x * (20-2x) = 20x-2x^2
So I'd say that the answer to part b) should be:
A(x) = 20x - 2x^2
