Hi there, the complete question is - <span>You wish to mentally estimate the total cost of items that have the following prices: $1.85, $.98, $3.49, $9.78, and $6.18. Rounding off the items to the nearest half dollar, your estimate of the total cost of these items is?
Add and estimate
</span> 2+1+3.5+10+6, so our estimate is $22.50.
Set up a proportion.
flagpole/shadow = woman/her shadow.
f/s1 = w/s2
f = 42.9
s1 = 253
w = 6.2
s2 = ??? = x
42.9/253 = 6.2 / x
42.9 x = 253*6.2
42.9 x = 1568.6
x = 1568.6 / 42.9
x = 36.56 The womans shadow is 36.56 feet long <<<< ===== answer.
<span>the triangle inequality theorem simply states, The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. your answer is B.</span>
The answer to your question is:
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..
Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:
<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>
In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5
Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that
<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
L=w+4 this shows the length is 4 inches longer than width
h=w-2 this shows the height is 2 inches shorter than the width
volume=lwh
so 240=lwh=(w+4)(w)(w-2)
simplify and solve to find the width then you can use that to find the other values as well.
