Answer:

Length = 50 feet

Width = 160 feet

Explanation:

I'm assuming the flagpole is not included in this question.

w

=

w

i

d

t

h

l

=

≤

n

>

h

The length compared to the width is:

w

=

l

+

110

<-- equation 1

The formula for perimeter:

P

=

2

w

+

2

l

420

=

2

w

+

2

l

<-- equation 2

Sub the first equation into the second.

420

=

2

(

l

+

110

)

+

2

l

Now you can solve for

l

algebraically.

420

=

2

l

+

220

+

2

l

4

l

=

200

l

=

50

Sub the found length into the first equation to find the length.

w

=

(

50

)

+

110

w

=

160

Therefore the flag is 50 feet long and 160 feet wide.

Answer:

Measure of angle A = 55°.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

\frac{AC}{LN}=\frac{BC}{LM}

\frac{10}{5}=\frac{8}{4}

2 = 2

Corresponding sides of the given triangles ΔACB and ΔNLM are proportional.

Therefore, ΔACB ~ ΔNLM.

m∠A = 180° - (90° + 35°) [By triangle sum theorem]

         = 180° - 125°

         = 55°

Measure of angle A is 55°.

Mr. Babe used to work at a local furniture store.
8090 [49]

A. Mr. Babe made a commission of $14.85

B. He makes $15.75 per hour after the raise.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. While he worked there, Mr. Babe earned 3% on how much he sells. If he sold $495 couch, how much commission did he make?

Worth of sold couch = $495

Commission = 3%

Amount of commission = 3% of total worth sold

Amount of commission = \frac{3}{100}*495

Amount of commission = \frac{1485}{100}=\$14.85

Mr. Babe made a commission of $14.85

B. On top of his commission, Mr. Babe made $15 per hour. He eventually got a raise with an increase of 5% per hour. After the raise, how much did he make per hour?

Amount earned per hour = $15

Increase = 5%

As the increment is on per hour amount, therefore,

Amount of increase = 5% of per hour amount

Amount of increase = \frac{5}{100}*15=\frac{75}{100} = \$0.75

New amount per hour = Per hour amount + amount of increase

New amount per hour = 15+0.75 = $15.75

He makes $15.75 per hour after the raise.
