The length of a rectangle is 10 centimeters less than its width. What are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 171 square​ centimeters?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the width = y

the length =y-10

area of rectangle=length ×breadth

171 =y-10×y

171=y^2-10y

it turns into quadratic equation

y^2-10y+171=0

cant be solved by factorization therefore use general formula

y=-b+or-√(b^2-4ab)/2a

a=1 (coefficient of y^2) ,b=-10 , c=171

y=--10+or-√{10^2-4(1)(10)}\2(1)

y=10+or-√{100-40}\2

y=10+or-√60/2

y=10+or-(7.74/2)

y=10+3.87

y=13.87cm

OR

y=10-3.87

y=6.13cm

if y=13.87 then width is 13.87&length is 13.87-10

=3.87

OR

if y=6.13 then width is 6.13&length is 6.13-10=-3.87

Ellen has a bag with 3 red marbles and 2 blue marbles in it. She is going to randomly draw a marble from the bag 300 times, putting the marble back in the bag after each draw. 3 red marbles and 2 blue marbles What is the best prediction for the number of times that Ellen will draw a blue marble?

Answers

Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue marbles = 2

Red marbles = 3

Total marbles = 2 + 3 = 5

If a marble is drawn 300 times ;prediction for the number of times a blue marble will be drawn :

P(drawing a blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles

= 2 /5 = 0.4

Predicted number of times blue is drawn in 300 selections :

300 * 0.4 = 120

Approximately 120 times

write an equation in slope-intercept for the line that has a slope of 1/2 and goes through the point (4, 7)

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an equation is y = mx + b

m is the slope. It is given

y = 1/2x + b

b is the y-intercept

In this case, we must substitute to find the y-intercept

We are given coordinate pair (4,7)

Plug our pair in and we get => 7 = 1/2(4) + b

=> 7 = 2 + b

easily, we find b = 5

We get our equation: y = 1/2x + 5

Show that the area of triangle DEF is 11 cm2.​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

The length CD can be found from the Pythagorean theorem.

  CF² + CD² = DF²

  2² + CD² = (2√10)²

  CD² = 40 -4 = 36

  CD = √36 = 6

From here, any of several methods could be used to find the area of ΔDEF.

One of them is to subtract the areas of the triangles that are not ΔDEF from the area of the rectangle ABCD.

  area ABCD = bh = (6 cm)(5 cm) = 30 cm²

  area ΔADE = 1/2bh = 1/2(4 cm)(5 cm) = 10 cm²

  area ΔBEF = 1/2bh = 1/2(2 cm)(3 cm) = 3 cm²

  area ΔCDF = 1/2bh = 1/2(6 cm)(2 cm) = 6 cm²

Then the area of interest is ...

  area ΔDEF = area ABCD -area ΔADE -area ΔBEF -area ΔCDF

  area ΔDEF = (30 -10 -3 -6) cm²

  area ΔDEF = 11 cm²

__

Alternate solution

If we define A as the origin of a coordinate system, then the coordinates of the vertices of ΔDEF are ...

  D(0, 5), E(4, 0), F(6, 3)

The area can be computed as half the absolute value of the sum of the determinants of 2×2 matrices consisting of adjacent points.

  [tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\left|\left|\begin{array}{cc}0&5\\4&0\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}4&0\\6&3\end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{cc}6&3\\0&5\end{array}\right| \right|\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}|(0-20)+(12-0)+(30-0)|=\dfrac{1}{2}(22) = \boxed{11}[/tex]

The circumference of a circle is approximately 131.88 centimeters What is the area of the shaded region (6/10 of a circle)

Answers

Answer:

82.97cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Circumference=  131.88 centimeters

We want to find the area of 6/10 part of a circle

Firstly, let us find the area of the circle

We need to get the radius

C= 2πr

131.88= 2*3.142*r

131.88=6.284r

r=  131.88/6.284

r=20.98 cm

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.142*20.98^2

Area= 3.142*440.16

Area= 1382.98cm^2

Hence 6/10 of a 1382.98

=0.06*1382.98

=82.97cm^2

Each car on a computer train holds 20 people. On a particular morning, 5 cars were 90% full and 3 cars were 65% full. If the people were rearranged to fill as many cars as possible, how many cars would be filled?

Answers

Answer:

7 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of cars to be filled is shown below:

A car that is 90% full and the total people is 20 so 90% would be

= (.90)(20)

= 18

A car that is 65% full and the total people is 20 so 65% would be

= (.65)(20)

= 13

Now

Total number of people = (5)(18) + (3)(13).

= 129

Now the number of cars to be filled is

= 129 ÷ 20

= 6.45

= 7 cars
