Answer:

400 = (x - 10)²

x² -20x -300 = 0

x = 30 and x = -10

Length side of the garden = 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of square garden = 400 square feet

Length side of the garden = (x - 10) feet

Find:

Length side of the garden

Computation:

Area of square = side²

Area of square garden = Length side of the garden²

400 = (x - 10)²

400 = x² -20x + 100

x² -20x -300 = 0

x² -30x + 10x -300 = 0

x(x - 30) + 10(x - 30) = 0

(x - 30)(x + 10) = 0

So,

x = 30 and x = -10

Use x = 30 positive number

Length side of the garden = (x - 10) feet

Length side of the garden = (30 - 10) feet

Length side of the garden = 20 feet

A rectangular box has length 20cm, width 6cm and height 4cm. find how many cubes of size 2cm that will fit into the box.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

$\boxed{\pink{\sf The \ number \ of \ cubes \ that \ can \ be \ fitted \ is 60 .}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given dimensions of the box = 20cm × 6cm × 4cm .

Dimension of the cube = 2cm × 2cm × 2cm .

Therefore the number of cubes that can be fitted into the box will be equal to the Volume of box divided by the Volume of the cube. So ,

$\boxed{\red{\bf \implies No. \ of \ cubes \ = \dfrac{Volume \ of \ box}{Volume \ of \ cube }}}$

$\bf \implies n_{cubes} = \dfrac{20cm \times 6cm \times 4cm .}{2cm \times 2cm \times 2cm } \\\\\bf\implies n_{cubes} = 10 \ times 3cm \times 2cm \\\\\implies \boxed{\bf n_{cubes}= 60 }$

<h3>Hence the number of cubes that can be fitted in the box is 60 .</h3>

Cedric purchased a new refrigerator and stove at Home Depot for $3,729 on a deferred payment plan with no down

lesya [120]

Answer:

correct option is d. $242.81

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

APR = 25.5% = $\frac{25.5}{12}$ = 2.125

paid = $3,729

solution

we get here finance charge on the 1st month by multiplying 3,729 and now adding it to existing balance

so we get finance charge for the second and third months similarly as

APR ÷ 100 = $\frac{2.125 }{100}$ = 0.02125

so 1st

= $3,729 × 0.02125

= 79.25

and

$3,729 + $79.25 = $3808.24

so for next

= $3808.24 × 0.02125

= 80.93

and

$3808.24 + $80.93 = $3889.17

so for next

= $3889.17 × 0.02125

= 82.64

and

$3889.17 + $ 82.64 = $3971.81

finance charge = 3971.81 - 3729

finance charge = 242.81

so correct option is d. $242.81

How in the heck do I do this?

The measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. In other words the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

To solve for x set all of the expressions of angles equal to 180 and isolate x

11x - 3 + 7x + 5 + 13x - 8 = 180

31x + (- 6 + 6) = 180 + 6

31x/31 = 186 / 31

x = 6

To find the measure of each angle plug 6 into the x into each individual expression

Hope this helped!
