Equation of a line;
y=mx+c
m=5
y=5x+c
Replacing for x and y using point (-2, -1)
-1=5(-2)+c
-1=-10+c
c=-1+10
c=9
y=5x+9
x 20
------ = -------
100 125
(The percentage x saved is equal to 20 out of 120) Cross multiply:
125x = 20(100)
125x = 2000
Divide both sides by 125
x = 16%
50% of 14 is 7
this is because if you do 7/0.5 it will be 14 or you can think of it this way: 50% is half, so you have to find what part of half 7 is, which in this case is 14
<span>Since the paddock assumes a rectangular shape the area is 1/2 * b * h.
From Pythagorean AB^2 = BC^2 + AC^2
(3)^2 = (x + 0.4)^2 + x^2
9 = x^2 + 0.8x + 0.16 + x^2
So 2x^2 + 0.8x + 0.16 - 9 = 0
2x^2 +0.8x- 8.84 = 0
Using the quadratic formula
The solutions are 1.911 and -2.31
The area therefore is
area=1/2 * b * h
=1.91*2.31/2 = 2.21km²
1hectare = 0.01km²
2.21km^2 = 221ha</span>
