Answer:

Width: 255 feet

Length: 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length

Let w be equal to the length of the base

Plug in the given information:

870 = 2 × w + 2 × (w-75)

870 = 2w+2w-150

870 = 4w-150

4w=1020

w=255

Therefore, the width of the base is 255 ft.

To find the length of the base, subtract 75 from 255:

255-75 = 180

I hope this helps!

The length, width, and height of a right rectangular prism are multiplied by 23. What will be the effect on the volume of the pr
Yanka [14]

Since none of the options make sense with 23, I assume it was a typo, and you meant 2/3.

Let l,w and h be the length, width and height of the original prism, and l',w' and h' be the length, width and height of the new prism. We are given

l' = l\times \cfrac{2}{3},\quad w' = w\times \cfrac{2}{3},\quad h' = h\times \cfrac{2}{3}

Also, if we call V the original volume, and V' the volume of the new prism, we have

V = lhw,\quad V'=l'h'w'

Substitute the expressions for l', h' and w' in the formula for V':

V'=l'h'w' = l\times \cfrac{2}{3}\times w\times \cfrac{2}{3}\times h\times \cfrac{2}{3} = l\times h \times w \times \cfrac{2}{3}\times\cfrac{2}{3}\times\cfrac{2}{3} = V \times \left(\cfrac{2}{3}\right)^3 = V\times\cfrac{8}{27}

A man invested one fifth of his money at 4%, half of his money at 5%, and the rest of his money at 3.5%. If his total annual inv
Ksivusya [100]
The man invested 1/5 of the money at 4/100. Which says he earns 4/500 of his total money on one month.

He also invested 1/2 of the money at 5/100. Which means he earns 5/200 of his total money per month.

For the last part, he spent the rest of the money which is: x + 1/5 + 1/2 = 1
Make the denominators equal: x + 2/10 + 5/10 = 10/10
Add like terms: x + 7/10 = 10/10
Substract 7/10: x=3/10

He gave this money for 3.5/100 interest. Which equals 10.5/1000 of his total money.

When you add the three values: 4/500 + 5/200 + 10.5/1000
Make denominators equal: 8/1000 + 25/1000 + 10.5/1000
Add the like terms: 43.5/1000

This means the man's money's 43.5/1000 is equal to $870

Set the values equal: 43.5x/1000 = 870
Make the denominators equal: 43.5x/1000 = 870,000/1000
Multiply with 1000: 43.5x = 870,000
Divide both sides by 43.5: x = 20,000

The man's total money is $20,000
