The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet for the garden

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and four angles in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The area of a rectangle = Length * breadth

Given that length of garden = 16 ft., width of garden = 12 ft.

It is surrounded by a mulch of width x, hence:

New length = 16 + x + x = 16 + 2x

New width = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

The area of garden = 16 + 2x(12 + 2x) = 192 + 56x + 4x²

Since the maximum area is 285 ft, hence:

192 + 56x + 4x² = 285

4x² + 56x - 93 = 0

x = 1.5 feet

The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 18,12,8,163,… Enter your answer in the box.

uysha [10]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a geometric sequence 18,12,8,16/3,.. We are asked to find the common ratio of given geometric sequence.

We can find common ratio of geometric sequence by dividing any number by its previous number in the sequence.

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{a_2}{a_1}$

Let us use two consecutive numbers of our sequence in above formula.

$a_2$ will be 12 and $a_1$ will be 18 for our given sequence.

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{12}{18}$

Dividing our numerator and denominator by 6 we will get,

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{2}{3}$

Let us use numbers 8 and 16/3 in above formula.

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{\frac{16}{3}}{8}$

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{16}{3*8}$

$\text{Common ratio of geometric sequence}=\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, we get $\frac{2}{3}$ as common ratio of our given geometric sequence.

Which models show 40%? Check all that apply. A model with 4 shaded sections and 6 unshaded sections. A model with 40 shaded sect

Amanda [17]

Answer:

A model with 4 shaded sections and 6 unshaded sections.

A model with 40 shaded sections and 60 unshaded sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Required:

Which models shows 40%

(a) 4 shaded and 6 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 4 + 6$

$Total = 10$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{4}{10} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.4 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 40\%$

(b) 40 shaded and 60 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 40 + 60$

$Total = 100$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{40}{100} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.4 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 40\%$

(c) 2 shaded and 8 unshaded

First, we calculate the total sections

$Total = 2 + 8$

$Total = 10$

The percentage of the shaded section is:

$Shaded = \frac{2}{10} * 100\%$

$Shaded = 0.2 * 100\%$

$Shaded = 20\%$

<em>Hence, (a) and (b) shows 40%</em>
