Answer:

27 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, there's two ways we could do this (which I do). One way is easier with a calculator, one is useful when you cannot use a calculator.

EASY CALCULATOR METHOD

30% as a decimal is 0.3, so if you multiply 90 by 0.3, you can easily find 30%. So:

90 x 0.3 = 27 days.

NON CALCULATOR METHOD

To find 10% of something, we divide the original value by 10. Therefore, we just need to find 10% and multiply that value by 3 to get 30%. So:

90/10 = 9 days (10%)

9 x 3 = 27 days (30%)

Either way both give you the same answer of 27 days.

(a²b²-c²)(a²b²+c²) simplify

liraira [26]

Answer:

a⁴b⁴ - c⁴

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of squares formula states that (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b². In this case, a = a²b² and b = c² so a² - b² = (a²b²)² - (c²)² = a⁴b⁴ - c⁴.

The perimeter of a rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in.2. What are the length and width of the bakin

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$Length=17.5\ in\\\\Width=11.5\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the Area of a rectangle is:

$A=lw$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

And the formula for calculate the peimeter of a rectangle is:

$P=2l+2w$

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

We know that the perimeter of the rectangular baking sheet is 58 inches and its area is 201.25 in². Then:

$A=201.25\ in^2\\\\P=58\ in$

The steps are:

1. Solve for the "l" from the formula $A=lw$ :

$A=lw\\\\l=\frac{A}{w}\\\\\l=\frac{201.25}{w}$

2. Substitute $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ into the formula $P=2l+2w$ and solve for "w":

$58=2(\frac{201.25}{w})+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5}{w}+2w\\\\58=\frac{402.5+2w^2}{w}\\\\58w=402.5+2w^2\\\\2w^2-58w+402.5=0$

Applying the Quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , we get:

$x=w=\frac{-(-58)\±\sqrt{(-58)^2-4(2)(402.5)}}{2(2)}\\\\w_1=17.5\\\\w_2=11.5$

3. Substitute $w_1=17.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{17.5}=11.5$

4. Substitute $w_2=11.5$ into $l=\frac{201.25}{w}$ :

$l=\frac{201.25}{11.5}=17.5$

Therefore, since the value of the lenght of a rectangle must be greater that the value of the width, we can conclude that the lenght and the width of the rectangular baking sheet are:

$l=17.5\ in\\\\w=11.5\ in$
