Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given A varies directly as l and w then the equation relating them is

A = klw ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition A = 60, l = 15 and w = 4 , then

60 = k × 15 × 4 = 60k ( divide both sides by 60 )

1 = k

A = lw ← equation of variation

Answer: The length is 6 feet and the width is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: The question has specified the area as 60 (square feet) and the length and width are yet unknown. However we know that the length is 4 feet less than the width. What this means is that, if the width is W, then the length is W - 4.

We can now write an equation for the area of the rectangle as follows;

Area = L x W

60 = (W - 4) x W

60 = W^2 - 4W

If we rearrange all terms on one side of the equation, we now have

W^2 - 4W - 60 = 0

This is a quadratic equation and by factorizing, we now have

(W + 6) (W - 10) = 0

Hence,

Either W + 6 = 0 and then W = -6

Or W - 10 = 0 and then W = 10

We know that the side of the rectangle cannot be a negative value, so we go with W = 10.

Having calculated W as 10, the length now becomes

L = W - 4

L = 10 - 4

L = 6

Therefore, length = 6 feet and width = 10 feet

find the y value for the point that splits segment GH in half of point G is located at (-3,5) and point H is located at (0,-2)
olganol [36]
Y=1.5 at the midpoint of GH. To do this you add the y values of the endpoints together and divide by two ----> 5-2= 3 ----> 3/2= 1.5

Hope this helps you !!

A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound. How much would it cost to buy 5.5 pounds of strawberries? Ro
myrzilka [38]

Answer: The cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A local grocery story has strawberries on sale for $1.45 per pound.

i.e. Cost for 1 pound strawberries = $1.45

Now, Cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =  5.5 x (Cost for 1 pound strawberries)

= $ (5.5 x  1.45)

= $ 7.975 ≈ $ 7.98   [ Round to the nearest penny]

Hence, the cost of 5.5 pounds strawberries =$ 7.98
