Answer:

6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

(24+x)(16+x)=660

384+24x+16x+x²=660

x²+40x-276=0

x`= 6

x```= -46......no serve

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 66 costing \$1600$1600 each, 44 costing \$1200$1200 each, and yy

Step-by-step explanation:

A tech company bought a number of computers for its employees: 6 costing $1600 each, 4 costing $1200 each, and y costing $900 each, where y is a positive odd integer. what is the greatest possible value of y

Solution:

The median of a group of numbers is the middle number when the group of numbers have been arranged either in ascending of descending other. The median of an even group of numbers is the average of the two most middle most numbers while the median of an odd group of numbers is the middle number.

Since there are 6 computers costing $1600, 4 computers costing $1200 each and y computers costing $900 each. Since y is odd, hence y + 6 + 4 would be odd and the median would be the middle number.

Given that the median price = $1200, this means that the middle of the group of numbers is $1200

900, 900, ..., 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Since y is odd, for the median price to be $1200, y has to be 3 or 5.

If y = 3:

900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

median = $1200

If y = 5:

900, 900, 900, 900, 900, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1200, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600, 1600

Median = $1200

Therefore the greatest possible value of y is 5

Rhombus RSTU is congruent to rhombus

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Rhombus RSTU is congruent to WXYZ, and are translational images of each other because all their sides and angles are equal

<h3>What are the properties of a rhombus?</h3>

Some of the properties of a rhombus are;

The sides are congruent.

All the opposite sides are parallel to each other.

Diagonals bisect each other perpendicularly.

The angles are supplementary, that is, they add up to 180°

If Rhombus RSTU is congruent to WXYZ, then they are both translation images of each other because all their sides and angles are equal.
