It means that -5 is the range of your answer, it will be less than that.
It would cost 26 dollars because 3 multiplied by 8 is 24 plus 2/3 of 3 is 26 and that is the result of 2/3 of 3 being 2 dollars
D + e = 12
-d + e = -8
---------------
2e = 4
e = 2
d + e = 12
d + 2 = 12
d = 10
Answer: (10,2)
Let's make the length L and the width w. So, here's what we know:
L = 2w + 10
Lw = 1500
Substitute L in as 2w + 10:
w(2w + 10) = 1500.
Simplify.
2w squared +10w = 1500
Make it a quadratic equation, w = 25 or -30. Since it can't be negative, w = 25.
1500/25 = 60.
Length = 60
Width = 25
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The question talks about;
- A rectangular flower bed whose dimensions are 12 ft by 9 ft
We are required to determine the length of the diagonal
To answer the question, we need to know the following;
- All the angles in a rectangle are right angles
- A diagonal divides a rectangle into two right-angled triangles
- The dimensions of the rectangle acts as the legs of right angled triangle.
Therefore;
Using Pythagoras theorem;
a² + b² = c²
Where, c is the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal)
a and b are the shorter sides of the right-angled triangle
Therefore;
c² = 12² + 9²
c² = 144 + 81
= 225
c = √225
= 15
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is 15 feet
