Answer:

30 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

30 ft Let's assume the original dimension of the carpet was LxW. Now let's have Lin cut a 1 foot wide strip from the length. That gives her a strip that's L feet long. She then cuts a strip from the other side, giving her another strip that L feet long. She then cuts a strip from the width, giving her a 3rd strip that's (W-2) feet long. And finally, she cuts a 4th strip that's also W-2 feet long. So the total length of all those strips is L + L + W - 2 + W - 2 = 2L + 2W - 4 feet long. And since all the strips are 1 foot wide, they cover 2L + 2W - 4 square feet. So: 2L + 2W - 4 = 26 2L + 2W = 30 Now the original perimeter of the carpet is 2L + 2W, therefore the original perimeter is 30 feet.

10^x • 100^2x = 1000^5. Step by Step
nordsb [41]
Step one: set the base of each term to be the same (10)
(10ˣ)(10²)²ˣ = (10³)⁵
(10ˣ) (10⁴ˣ)= (10¹⁵)
10⁵ˣ = 10¹⁵
Because the indices are the same we can equate the two.
5x = 15
x = 3

Check 10⁵ˣ³ = 10¹⁵    10¹⁵=10¹⁵

Answer:

x = ±20

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -1=399

Add 1 to each side

x^2 = 399+1

x^2 = 400

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(400)

x = ±20

The value of the ratio based on the angle illustrated is 1:12.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

From the information given, it should be noted that the angle in a circle is 360°. Therefore, the value of theta will be:

= 360° - 330°

= 30°

The equivalent expression based on the angle will be:

= 30/360

= 1/12

= 1:12
