Answer:
10 1/16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be used.
(8 +x)² = x² +15²
64 +16x +x² = x² +225
16x = 161
x = 161/16 = 10 1/16 = 10.0625 . . . cm
Make them all have the same denominator
32
25+12 16/32+488/32+124/32+38/32+25/32
Add all of the numerators... to get 691/32+1184/32
1875/32
Simplify to get 58 19/32
This is the concept of application of geometry and financial mathematics; To calculate for the total cost of the carpet we proceed as follows;
Total cost=[area of the carpet]*[price per square yard]
area of carpet is given by:
Area=πr^2
where;
radius,r=6 yeards
=π*6^2
=113.1 square yards
therefore the price of the carpet will be:
113.1*14
=$1,583.4
We have the following function:
f (x) = x ^ 2
We have the following transformation:
Expansions and horizontal compressions
The graph of y = f (bx):
If 0 <b <1, the graph of y = f (x) expands horizontally by the factor of 1 / b.
Applying the transformation:
y = (0.2x) ^ 2
The factor is:
1 / b = 1 / 0.2 = 5
Answer:
b. expanded horizontally by a factor of 5
