8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length is x and breadth is y.

The formula for the area and the perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

A = xy

P = 2(x+y)

Here, A = 8 mi² and P = 16 miles

Putting all the values,

xy = 8

y=8/x ......(1)

2(x+y) = 16

x+y = 8 .....(2)

Put equation (2) in equation (1) as follows :

x+\dfrac{8}{x}=8\\\\x^2+8=8x\\\\x^2-8x+8=0

When we solve, we get :

x = 6.82 miles, 1.17 miles

Put the value of x in equation (1)

When x = 6.82 miles,

y = 8/6.82

y = 1.17 miles

When x = 1.17 miles,

y = 8/1.17

y = 6.82 miles

Hence, the dimension of the field is 6.82 miles and 1.17 miles.

1. A sphere is sliced so that the cross section does not intersect the center of the sphere.
stich3 [128]
1. The shape of cross-section is a circle.
2. The face parallel to ABCD is EFGH. Since this is a a rectangular shape,

A = L*H = 12*6 = 72 cm^2

3. The cross-section parallel to ABC is DEF with h = 12 ft, b= 5ft (where h is the height and b is the base of a right angled triangle).

Area, A = 1/2 *b*h = 1/2*5*12 =30 ft^2

4. Plane BDHF is a rectangle shape whose length is the diagonal of ABCD.

Diagonal BD = sqrt (AB^2+BD^2) = sqrt (8^2+7^2) = 10.63 cm.
Perimeter, P = 2(BD+DH) = 2(10.63+6) = 33.26 cm

in chemistry class Andrew has earned scores of 64 69 and 73 on three tests he must maintain an average of 72
olganol [36]
You haven't told me what the question is.  But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye.  It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is

                   "What score does Andrew need on the next test
                     in order to raise his average to 72% ?"

The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck.  So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one.  I hope it's the correct question.

The average score on 4 tests is

                                     (1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .

In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be

                                         (4) x (72%)  =  288% .

Out of that total that he needs, he already has 

                            (64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%

on the first three tests.

So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score

                             (288%  -  206%)  =   82%

on the fourth one.
