Answer:

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

Let

a = shorter side

b = longer side

b = a + 2.5 inches

The perimeter of each tile is 37 inches

Perimeter of a parallelogram = 2(a + b)

37 = 2{a + (a + 2.5)}

37 = 2{a + a + 2.5}

37 = 2(2a + 2.5)

37 = 4a + 5

37 - 5 = 4a

32 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4

a = 32/4

= 8

a = 8 inches

b = a + 2.5 inches

= 8 + 2.5

= 10.5 inches

b = 10.5 inches

The side lengths of the tile are 8 Inches and 10.5 Inches.

Answer: 33 333,33 per month or 400 000 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 48 000 + 0.035X = 62 000

So ( 62 000 - 48 000 ) / 0.035 = X

Then you can divide X per 12 (months in a year)

And you have your answer per month .

So 33 333,33 total sale per month to have at least as high as the average pay

To create a giant gemstone, sara first made two identical square pyramids that each had a base area of 100 square inches. Then s
inysia [295]

Answer:

8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we have that they first made two identical square pyramids, each with a base area of 100 square inches.

Ab = s ^ 2 = 100

Therefore each side would be:

s = (100) ^ (1/2)

s = 10

So, side of the square base = 10 inches

Then they tell us that they glued the bases of the pyramids together to form the precious stone. The surface area of the gemstone is 520 square inches, so for a single pyramid it would be:

Ap = 520/2 = 260

For an area of the square pyramid we have the following equation:

Ap = 2 * x * s + s ^ 2

Where x is the height of each triangular surface and s is the side of the square base

Replacing we have:

260 = 2 * x * 10 + 10 ^ 2

20 * x + 100 = 260

20 * x = 160

x = 160/20

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is 8 inches.

A rectangle has a height of 5x and a width of x + 2. Express the area of the entire rectangle.
o-na [289]
Rectangle Area = length • width

5x • (x + 2) = area

(5x^2 + 10x) is the area, with no further ways to simplify.
