The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4
At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5
-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5
This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!
Answer:
≈ 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.
Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.
You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.
_____
The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
So basically the ladder is creating a right triangle with the ground and the wall. Ladder is the hypotenuse (h), building = b, ground = g
b = h - 22 ft
g = 1010 ft
use Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of h:
The h^2 terms cancel out to = 0

<span>first off your answer is 21.90 and the step by step i wrote it for you:) Finding the
square root of a number is the inverse
operation of squaring that number. Remember, the square of a number
is that number times itself. </span>
The perfect
squares are the squares of the whole numbers.
The square root
of a number, n, written below is the number that gives n when multiplied by
itself.
</span> <span>Many mathematical
operations have an inverse, or opposite, operation. Subtraction is the opposite
of addition, division is the inverse of multiplication, and so on. Squaring,
which we learned about in a previous lesson (exponents),
has an inverse too, called "finding the square root." Remember, the
square of a number is that number times itself. The perfect squares are the
squares of the whole numbers: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 … </span>
The square root
of a number, n, written
<span>
is the number that gives n when multiplied by itself. For example,</span>
<span>because
10 x 10 = 100</span>
Examples
Here are the
square roots of all the perfect squares from 1 to 100.
Finding square
roots of of numbers that aren't perfect squares without a calculator
1. Estimate
- first, get as close as you can by finding two perfect square roots your
number is between.
2. Divide -
divide your number by one of those square roots.
3. Average -
take the average of the result of step 2 and the root.
<span>4. Use the result
of step 3 to repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have a number that is accurate
enough for you.
</span>
Example:
Calculate the square root of 10 ()
to 2 decimal places.
<span>1. Find
the two perfect square numbers it lies between.
</span>
<span><span>Solution:
</span><span>32
= 9 and 42 = 16, so
lies between 3 and 4.</span></span>
<span>2. Divide
10 by 3. 10/3 = 3.33 (you can round off your answer)</span>
<span>3. Average
3.33 and 3. (3.33 + 3)/2 = 3.1667</span>
<span>Repeat step
2: 10/3.1667 = 3.1579</span><span>Repeat step 3: Average 3.1579 and 3.1667. (3.1579 + 3.1667)/2 = 3.1623</span>
Try the answer
--> Is 3.1623 squared equal to 10? 3.1623 x 3.1623 = 10.0001
If this is accurate
enough for you, you can stop! Otherwise, you can repeat steps 2 and 3.
