3/4 ÷ a = 1/4. Solve for a

Mathematics

nignag [31]3 years ago

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so first you do the reciprocal of division which is multiplication. So its gonna be 3/4 x 1/a = 1/4

you multiply the fractions 3/4 x 1/a and get 3/4a = 1/4

then you cross multiply and you get 12=4a

swap sides so its going to be 4a = 12

divide both sides by 4 and you get a = 3

Consider the following problem: a farmer with 750 feet of fencing wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into fo
nlexa [21]

Answer:

14,062.5ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer has a given length of fencing. Since this fencing is used to enclose a rectangular area, before it is then divided it into four pens using the same provided fencing material. This will definitely lead to five lengths of fencing which come along one side of the rectangle to form four pens.

Let us assume that the length of the each of the five sides be xft.

Then let the length of each of the two sides in the be yft.

Since the total length of fencing available is 750 feet.

Then we can have an equation of such:

5x+2y=750

Making y the subject

2y = 750-5x

y = 750-5x/2. ........1

The area of the rectangular region is given by:

A = xy. ......... 2

Combining (1) in (2) to find the area

A(x)= x. (750−5x)/2

=750x−5x^2/2 ........... (*)

Going by the means of first diffential calculus.

A(x)=750x−5x^2/2

A'(x) = 750-10x/2

Setting A'(x) = 0

750-10x/2 = 0

750-10x = 2×0

750-10x = 0

750= 10x

x = 750/10

x = 75

Now that we have x = 75

We can now substitute into equation (*)

A(x) = 750×75-5×75^2/2

= (56250-28125)/2

= 28126/2

= 14062.5

Hence the rectangular region of maximum area is

14062.5ft^2

What is the name of the regular polygon that measures 140゚
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The regular polygon is a nonagon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

What is the name of the regular polygon that each interior angle measures 140゚?

we know that

The formula to find the sum of the interior angles in a regular polygon is equal to

n(a)=(n-2)180\°

where

n is the number of sides of the regular polygon

a is the measure of each interior angle of the regular polygon

we have

a=140\°

substitute in the formula and solve for n

n(140\°)=(n-2)180\°

140n=180n-360

180n-140n=360

40n=360

n=9\ sides

so

The regular polygon has 9 sides

therefore

The regular polygon is a nonagon
