Answer: 6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 4-foot by 8-foot rectangular piece of plywood will be cut into 4 congruent rectangles with no wood left over and no wood lost due to the cuts
Let assume that the 4 rectangles will be of the same area since they are congruent.
The area of the big rectangle will be
Area = 4 × 8 = 32
Divide 32 by 4
32/4 = 8
Suggest the two possible numbers in which their product will be equal to 8
4 and 2 or 8 and 1
If 4 and 2
The perimeter = 2L + 2B
Substitute the 4 and 2 into the formula
Perimeter = 2(4) + 2(2)
Perimeter = 8 + 4
Perimeter = 12
If 8 and 1
Perimeter = 2(8) + 2(1)
Perimeter = 16 + 2 = 18
The positive difference, in feet, between the greatest possible perimeter of a single piece and the least possible perimeter of a single piece will be:
18 - 12 = 6 feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x) = (x - 2)(x - 9)(x + 4)²(x + 5)
Let the second side be equal to x
Then the first side is x-5
The third side will be x-5-2 = x-7
Therefore you add all the following sides and equate it to 42 yards. Ie x+x+5+x-7 = 42
3x=44
X= 44/3
Therefore the second sides length is 44/3
The first sides length is 44/3 -5 = 29/3
The third side is 44/3 -7 = 23/3

it should be the sales tax because you pay a little bit more.
Answer:
y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope intercept form of the equation, y = mx+b
where x is the amount per day and b is the flat fee
2 days
125 = 2x+b
5 days
275 = 5x+b
Subtract
275 = 4x+b
125 = 2x+b
---------------------
150 = 3x
Divide by 3
150/3 = 3x/3
50 =x
The cost per day is 50 dollars
y = 50x +b
Using the data for 2 days
125 = 50*2 +b
125 = 100 +b
125-100 = b
b = 25
The equation is y = 50x+25
f(x) = 50x+25
To graph, The x axis is number of days and the y axis is total cost
The number of days starts with 0, which is the y intercept
Let x = 0, y =25
Using the slope, we go 50 up and 1 to the right ( 50 dollars per day)
The next point plotted ins ( 1,50)
