Two blueberry farms are similar in shape. The ratio of the side lengths of the farms is 4:5, and the smaller farm has a perimete

r of 360 yards. The cost to dig a trench is $0.75 per yard. What is the cost to dig a trench around the larger blueberry farm?

Answer:

$337.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4:5=360:x 360/4=90 90+360=450 check 360/450=0.8 and 4/5=0.8

4:5=360:450

larger farm perimeter is 450 yards so dig a trench 0.75 per yard

so 450 * 0.75 = $337.5

Hope this helps! :)

If two rectangles have the same perimeter, do they have to be congruent? Explain how you know.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Take square 4 X 4. Perimeter =16

Take rectangle h2 X w6. Perimeter =16

Clearly the same perimeter and not congruent

but this is just what I think

5(x + 3) - 2 = 2 + 5x + 9

Lunna [17]

Answer:

There is no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(x + 3) - 2 = 2 + 5x + 9$

$5x+15-2-2-5x-9=0\\15-13=0\\2=0$

There is no solution

because 2=0 is not possible.

Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial p(x)

liubo4ka [24]

I think the question is

Find the value of c so that (x-5) is a factor of the polynomial

$p(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + cx + 10$

The other factor is going to be some quadratic. We can say a few things about its coefficients but let's start by saying in general it's

$q(x)= ax^2 + bx + k$

$p(x) = (x-5)q(x)$

$x^3 + 2x^2 + cx + 10 = (x-5)(ax^2 + bx+k) = ax^3 + (b-5a)x^2 + (k-5b)x - 5k$

Equating respective coefficients,

$a=1$

$b-5a = 2$

$k - 5b = c$

$-5k = 10$

so we get

$b = 2 + 5 = 7$

$k = 10/-5 = -2$

$c = k - 5b = 2 - 5(7)= -37$

Answer: -37

Check:

$(x^2 + 7x - 2)(x - 5) = x^3 + 2 x^2 - 37 x + 10\quad\checkmark$

How do i find the volume of these similar solids? round to the nearest tenth HELP

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The volume of the larger solid is $592.6\ mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

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

If these solids are similar, find the volume of the larger solid

step 1

Find the scale factor

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

Let

x ----> the height of the larger solid in mm

y ----> the height of the smaller solid in mm

z ---> the scale factor

$z=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$x=4\ mm\\y=3\ mm$

substitute

$z=\frac{4}{3}$ ---> scale factor

step 2

Find the volume of the larger solid

we know that

If two solids are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

x ----> the volume of the larger solid in cubic millimeters

y ----> the volume of the smaller solid in in cubic millimeters

z ---> the scale factor

$z^3=\frac{x}{y}$

we have

$z=\frac{4}{3}$

$y=250\ mm^3$

substitute the values

$(\frac{4}{3})^3=\frac{x}{250}$

solve for x

$(\frac{64}{27})=\frac{x}{250}$

$x=250(\frac{64}{27})$

$x=592.6\ mm^3$
