Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2}=\sqrt{13^2-12^2} \\x=2\sqrt{169-144} \\x=2\sqrt{25} \\x=2 \times 5=10$

A rectangular countertop has a perimeter of 26 feet. its area is 30 square feet. what are the dimensions of the counter?

Sladkaya [172]

P=26=2*(l+L)
⇒ l+L=26:2=13 feet
l=3, L=10

A=l*L=30=10*3

⇒ l=3 feet
L=10 feet

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The awnser should be 5% increase or D

Step-by-step explanation:

This should be the awnser because we know that 15 to 19 is a increase. And next 25% increase is way too much, so 5% should be it.

Pam has 90 m of fencing to enclose an area in a petting zoo with two dividers to separate three types of young animals. The thre

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The area function is

$A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2$ .

The domain and range of A is $(0,15m)$ and $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given length of fencing is $90 m$ .

Let the length and width of each pen be $x$ and $y$ respectively as shown in the figure.

As there are 3 pens, so, the total area,

$A= 3 xy \;\cdots (i)$

From the figure the total length of fencing is $6x+4y$ .

Here, for a significant area for the animals, $x>0$ as well as $y>0$ as $x$ and $y$ are the sides of ben.

From the given value:

$6x+4y=90\;\cdots (ii)$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}$

Now, from equation (i)

$A=3x\left(\frac {45}{2}-\frac{3x}{2}\right)$

$\Rightarrow A=\frac{135}{2}x-\frac{9}{2}x^2\;\cdots (iii)$

This is the required area function in the terms of variable $x$ .

For the domain of area function, from equation (ii)

$x=15-\frac{2y}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x$ [as y>0]

So, the domain of area function is $(0,15m)$ .

For the range of area function:

As $x \rightarrow 0$ or $y\rightarrow 0$ , then $A\rightarrow 0$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow A>0$

Now, differentiate the area function with respect to $x$ .

$\frac {dA}{dx}=\frac{135}{2}-9x$

Equate $\frac {dA}{dx}$ to zero to get the extremum point.

$\frac {dA}{dx}=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{135}{2}-9x=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{2}$

Check this point by double differentiation

$\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}=-9$

As, $\frac {d^2A}{dx^2}$ , so, point $x=\frac{15}{2}$ is corresponding to maxima.

Put this value back to equation (iii) to get the maximum value of area function. We have

$A=\frac{135}{2}\times \frac {15}{2}-\frac{9}{2}\times \left(\frac {15}{2}\right)^2$

$\Rightarrow A=253.125 m^2$

Hence, the range of area function is $(0, 253.125 m^2]$ .

Able, Ben and Cal each played a game able’s score was six times ben’s score, Cale score was a hird time of Able’s score write do

Feliz [49]

Answer:

6:1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = Able's score, b = Ben's score, and c = Cal's score.

Since

Able's score was 6 times Ben's score, that means a = 6b.

Cal's score was a third of Able's score, so that means c = a/3. And since a = 6b, that means c = 6b / 3 = 2b.

Thus, the ratio of Able's score to Ben's score to Cal's score, a:b:c, is 6:1:2, because c is twice as much as b and a is 6 times as much as b.
