Answer:
the answer is yes 2
Step-by-step explanation:
if you look at the triangles with the bigger one the lengths are twice the lengths of the smaller one
Turning up the edges of the sheet metal will result in the 20 inches of
metal being divided into x inches of the first side, then the unknown
width of the gutter (let's call it "y") and then again x inches for the
second side.
As a picture:
x|______|x/y
As a formula:
20 = x + y + x = 2x + y
Resolving this to y we get:
20 - 2x = y
and switching it around:
y = 20 - 2x,
Now for part b) of your question:
The area of the gutter's cross-section is its width (y) multiplied with its height (x).
A(x,y) = x * y
If we use our result from a) to eliminate y then we can see that
A(x) = x * y = x * (20-2x) = 20x-2x^2
So I'd say that the answer to part b) should be:
A(x) = 20x - 2x^2

Answer:
-1/7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
0 = 7/4x +1/4
Multiply by 4/7
0 = x + 1/7
Subtract 1/7
-1/7 = x
The x-intercept is -1/7.

Below is a scale drawing of the town swimming pool. In the drawing, the longest side of the
pool has a length of 10 inches. Paco creates a new scale drawing of the pool. In his drawing,
the longest side of the pool has a length of 5 inches. What scale is Paco's new drawing?
