Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 32 feet and width is 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • The length of a rectangle is 12 feet more than twice the width and area is 320 square feet

Let's assume, width of rectangle x feet and length of the Rectangle be 12 + 2x respectively. To Calculate the length and width of rectangle we'll use the formula of area of rectangle:

\\  \star \: { \underline{ \boxed { \pmb{ \sf{ \purple{Area  _{(rectangle)}= Length \times width}}}}}} \\ \\

Substituting the required values:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: (12 +2x) (x) = 320 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 12x + 2x^2 = 320 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 12x + 2x^2- 320 = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2x^2 + 12 - 320 = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x^2 + 6x - 160) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x^2 + 16x - 10x - 160) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x - 10)(x + 16) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \underline{  \boxed{ \purple{ \pmb{ \rm{  x = 10  \: or \: -16}}}}} \\

Hence,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 10 feet
  • Length of rectangle = 12 + 2x = 12 + 2(10) = 32 feet

~

\underline{\therefore{ \pmb { \frak{Length \:  and  \: width  \: of \:  rectangle  \: is   \: 32  \: and  \: 10  \:ft}}}}

Answer:

In triangle SHD and triangle STD.

\overline{SD} \perp \overline{HT}          [Side]

Since, a line is said to be perpendicular to another line if the two lines intersect at a right angle.

⇒ \angle SDH = \angle SDT = 90^{\circ}

\overline{SH} \cong \overline{ST}       [leg]               [Given]

Reflexive property states that the value is equal to itself.

\overline{SD} \cong \overline{SD}       [Leg]       [Reflexive property]

HL(Hypotenuse-leg) theorem states that any two right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding congruent leg are the congruent triangles.


then, by HL theorem;

\triangle SHD \cong \triangle STD                       Proved!

What is the missing number?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

y = 2^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above data for x and y.

From the algebraic expression;

y = 2^{x}

We can deduce that the value of y is equal to two (2) raise to the power of x.

When x = 1, y = 2

y = 2^{x}

y = 2^{1}

y = 2

When x = 2, y = 4

y = 2^{x}

y = 2^{2}

y = 4

When x = 3, y = 8

y = 2^{x}

y = 2^{3}

y = 8

The above calculations can be used to determine the other values of y with respect to x.

If the typical balance on Lucy's credit card is $650 and the interest rate (APR) on her credit card is 18%, how much in interest
mafiozo [28]

General Idea:

Amount \; Charged \; in \; a \; Month \; = \; Monthly \; Interest \; Rate \; \times Typical \; Creditcard\; Balance\\ \\

Amount \; Charged \; in\; a\; month =\frac{18\%}{12} \times 650 \; = 0.015\times650=9.75

Conclusion:

Amount of interest that Lucy to be charged in a typical month is <u>$9.75</u>
