The length of a rectangle is 6 inches longer than it is wide. If the area is 160 square inches, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

L = 16

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Area = 160 sqr inches

width = x

length = x + 6

Equation

Area = L * w

Solution

Substitute in the equation all of the givens.

160 = x(x + 6)                     Remove the brackets

160 = x^2 + 6x                   Subtract 160 from both sides.

160-160 = x^2 + 6x - 160

0 = x^2 + 6x - 160

This equation factors. Turn it around first

x^2 + 6x - 160 =  0

(x - 10)(x + 16) = 0

Answer

x (width) = 10

x + 16 = 16

Answer 2

Answer:

The length is 16 inches and the width is 10 inches.

Two adjacent rooms are rectangles, both of length 13 feet by 10 feet. Jerry wants to change the carpets in both rooms. How many square feet should he order?

Answers

Answer:

  260 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula ...

  A = LW

The area of two same-size rectangular rooms will be double the area of one of them.

__

room area

Each room has an area of ...

  A = LW = (13 ft)(10 ft) = 130 ft²

carpet order

The order for carpet must be for 2 times the area of one room:

  carpet order = 2 × 130 ft² = 260 ft²

Jerry should order 260 square feet of carpet.

Hoang has worked as a nurse at Springfield General Hospital for 5 years longer than her friend Bill Two years ago she has been at the hospital for twice as long How long has each been at r=the hospital

Answers

Answer:

Hoang has been at the hospital for 12 years while Bill has worked for 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the years Hoang has worked as a nurse equal h and let the years Bill has worked as a nurse equal b.

Since Hoang has worked 5 years longer, h is five more than b:

h = b + 5

Now we move onto the situation 2 years ago. 2 years ago, Hoang had worked at the hospital two less than h or h-2 years while Bill has worked for b-2 which is two years less than b. We are also told that at the time, Hoang worked twice as longs, so

h - 2 = 2(b - 2)

This can be simplified:

h - 2 = 2b - 4

h = 2b - 2

We can use substitution. Since h = b + 5 and h = 2b - 2,

b + 5 = 2b - 2

b = 7

Therefore, since Hoang has worked five more years, h = 12. So, Hoang has been at the hospital for 12 years while Bill has worked for 7 years.

Answers

The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.

Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have

x/y = 8/7

   y = 7x/8

Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be

 10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²

110.25 = x² + 49x²/64

110.25 = 113x²/64

      x² = 62.44

        x = 7.902

        x ≅ 7.9 feet

Then the other leg will be

y = 7.9 x 7 / 8

y = 6.91

Deion has 62 m of fencing to build a four-sided fence around a rectangular plot of
land. The area of the land is 228 square meters. Solve for the dimensions (length and
width) of the field?

Answers

The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the length of the field and y represent the width of the field, hence:

Deion has 62 m of fencing:

2(x + y) = 62

x + y = 31

y = 31 - x     (1)

The area of the land is 228 square meters. hence:

xy = 228

x(31 - x) = 228

x² - 31x + 228 = 0  

x = 12 or x = 19

when x = 12; y = 31 - 12 = 19

when x = 19; y = 31 - 19 = 12

The dimensions of the the plot of land is a length of 19 meters and width of 12 meters.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -3) and (-5, 4).
Put your answer in fully simplified point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or
horizontal line.

Answers

Answer:

y₁ - y₂ = (-7/9)(x₁ - x₂)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure for an equation in point-slope form is:

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)

In this form, "m" represents the slope and the "x" and "y" values come from each point. To find "m", plug the values of each point into the equation.

Point 1: (4, -3)                   Point 2: (-5,4)

y₁ - y₂ = m(x₁ - x₂)                                  <---- Original equation

-3 - 4 = m(4 - (-5))                                 <---- Plug values in for "x" and "y"

-7 = m(4 - (-5))                                      <---- Simplify left side

-7 = m(9)                                               <---- Simplify within parentheses

-7/9 = m                                              <---- Divide both sides by 9

I don't exactly understand what "fully simplified point-slope form" means because if all of the variables are plugged in, you wouldn't be left with an equation. It may just be asking for the slope, which in this case would make the equation look like this:

y₁ - y₂ = (-7/9)(x₁ - x₂)  

It may want you to find the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), and you would have to find "b". Sorry I don't quite understand what exactly you are looking for.

Which data set could be represented by the box plot shown below?

Answers

It’s B i believe others are not correct I think

Answer:

  B

Step-by-step explanation:

A box and whisker plot is a graphical representation of the 5-number summary of a data set. It shows the minimum, maximum, median, and the values of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. Here, you're asked to identify the data set having the same 5-number summary as that shown in the plot.

__

extremes

The minimum of the data set is shown by the end of the left "whisker." The plot shows a minimum value of 41. Choice C has a minimum of 40, so is not the data set we're looking for.

The maximum of the data set is shown by the end of the right whisker. The plot shows a maximum of 50, matching all of the answer choices shown.

median

The median of the data set is shown by the vertical line in the middle of the box. Here, the median of the data set is indicated as 44. This will be the middle value, or the average of the two middle values of the set of data.

These sets of data have 10 values, an even number, so the median is the average of the middle two.

Choices A and B have a middle pair of 43 and 45, which means their median is (43+45)/2 = 44. Choice D has a middle pair of 43 and 47, so a median of (43+47)/2 = 45. Choice D is not the data set we're looking for.

quartiles

The 1st and 3rd quartiles of the data set are shown by the left and right ends of the box, respectively. They are indicated as being 43 and 48.

The median divides the data set into two parts. It is not considered to be a member of either part. The 1st quartile is the median of the lower (left) part. The 3rd quartile is the median of the upper (right) part.

Here, each part has 5 data values, so the quartile values are 3rd from the ends of the data set. In choice A, they are 43 and 49, not a match to the given plot. In choice B, they are 43 and 48, matching the values in the given box plot.

The data set in choice B could be represented by the box plot shown.



Admission to a baseball game is $3.00 for general admission and $5.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3277.50 for 845 paid admissions. How many of each ticket were sold?

Answers

Answer:

548, 297

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set this up as a system of equations. The first equation is for how many tickets were sold, which is x+y=845. The second equation is for the cost of the tickets, which is 3x+5.5y=3277.50. The best method for this problem (other than graphing) is elimination. First, we need to multiply one equation to get the opposite of one of the variables. The easiest one to do for this problem is x. The opposite of 3 is -3, so we have to multiply ALL of the first equation by -3. If you do this, then you get -3x-3y=-2535. Now, combine the equations:

3x + 5.5y = 3277.50

-3x  -3y    = -2535

________________

0x+2.5y=742.5

Now, isolate y by dividing both sides by 2.5. If you do this, you get y=297. Now, plug this in for the y in the first equation. Isolate x.

x+297=845

  -297  -297
