Answer:

10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram,

Applying,

lw = 5/2(bh)..................... Equation 1

Where l = length of the rectangle, w = width of the rectangle, b = base of the triangle, h = height of the triangle.

make w the subject of the equation

w = 5(bh)/2l............... Equation 2

From the diagram,

Given: l = 12 cm, b = 6 cm, h = 8 cm

Substitute into equation 2

w = 5(6×8)/(2×12)

w = 10 cm

Hence the width of the rectangle is 10 cm

If p, q are zeroes of polynomial f(x) =2x^2-7x+3,find the value of p^2+q^2

Elza [17]

Answer:

p^2 + q^2 = 22/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a quadratic function ax^2 + bx + c if the zeroes are A and B then

A + B = -b/a and AB = c/a.

2x^2 - 7x + 3

Now p and q are the zeroes of the above function so

p + q = 7/3 and pq = 3/2.

Now p^2 + q^2 = (p + q)^2 - 2pq

= (7/3)^2 - 2* 3/2

= 49/9 - 3

= 49/4 - 27/9

= 22/9.

A gaming system is marked down from 290 to 188. What is the percentage of the discount?

yuradex [85]

Let P = percent of discount

(290-188)/290 = P/100

102/290 = P/100

290P = (102)(100)

290P = 10,200

Solve for P to find your answer.
