Wayne is hanging a string of lights 45 feet long around the three sides of his patio, which is adjacent to his house. The length of his patio, the side along the house, is five feet longer than twice its width. Find the length and width of the patio.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length and width of the patio are 18¹/₃ feet and 6²/₃ feet respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L and W be the length and width of the patio respectively. Since the patio is a rectangle, its perimeter, P = 2(L + W). This perimeter equals the length of string of lights which is 45 ft.

Now, the length of his patio, the side along the house, is five feet longer than twice its width implies that L = 2W + 5.

Substituting L into P, we have

P = 2(L + W)

= 2(2W + 5 + W)

= 2(3W + 5)

= 6W + 5

Since P = 45 feet,

6W + 5 = 45

6W = 45 - 5

6W = 40

W = 40/6

W = 20/3 feet

W = 6²/₃ feet

Since L = 2W + 5, substituting W = 20/3 into L, we have

L = 2W + 5

= 2(20/3) + 5

= 40/3 + 5

taking the L.C.M, we have

= (40 + 15)/3

= 55/3 feet

= 18¹/₃ feet

So, the length and width of the patio are 18¹/₃ feet and 6²/₃ feet respectively.

Franky and Francesca applied to the same college. They looked up the average SAT score of students admitted to that college. Franky’s SAT score was 140 points above the average score. Francesca’s SAT score was 40 points below the average score. Which expression represents the difference in their scores?

❘-40 - 140❘
-❘140❘ - ❘40❘
-❘140❘ + ❘-40❘
❘140 - 40❘

Answers

Answer:

❘-40 - 140❘

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Franky’s SAT score was 140 points above the average score.

Francesca’s SAT score was 40 points below the average score.

We need to find the expression that represents the difference in their scores. It can be calculated as follows :

d = ❘-40 - 140❘

= -180

Hence, the correct option is (A) "❘-40 - 140❘".

For each fraction, select the most appropriate estimate. 36 40 choose.. 1 3 choose.. 70 100 choose.. 1 8 choose.. Options: Closest to 0 Closest to one half Closest to 1

Answers

Answer:

Convert each fraction to its percentage form:

= 36 / 40

= 90%

= 1/3

= 33.3%

= 70/100

= 70%

= 1 / 8

= 12.5%

Looking at the percentages:

= 36 / 40 is closest to 1.

= 1/3 and 70/100 are closest to one half which is 50%

= 1/8 is closest to 0.

Kim was sitting in row 5, seat 8 at a soccer game when she discovered her ticket was for row 2, seat 3. Write a rule to describe the translation needed to put her in the proper seat.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume we are seeing these seats as points on a graph with her current position being (8, 5) and her destination being (3, 2). Using these values Kim would need to follow the following rules...

Move 3 positions down to point/seat (8, 2)

Move 5 positions to the left to point/seat (3,2)

Following these instructions, she would correctly transition to the correct seat.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with radius r and center at (h, k) is ...

  (x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

When the diameter is 12, the radius is 6 (half the diameter). Then for your center point, the equation is ...

  (x -4)^2 +(y -7)^2 = 36

Is -6 a solution for the equation 3(2x - 8)= -4(-6 +21)?

Answers

Answer:

YeS, it is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if -6 is a solution to the question

What we have to do is to replace x by -6

If what we have on the left equals that on the right, then -6 is a solution

Thus, we have it that;

3(2(-6) -8)

= 3(-12-8)

= 3(-20) = -60

for the right hand side

-4 (15) = -60

This means both sides are equal and that -6 is a solution

How many laps around the sports ground do they run given their average speed is 5 yards per second? Please add an explanation. I will mark the brainliest to whoever's answer is best and YOU GET 50 Points.

Answers

Answer:

7.5 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you wanna figure out how many yards is in one lap

to do this, you would multiply 100 and 4 (four because there's four equal sides  in one lap)

100 x 4 = 400

You know their speed is 5 yards per second, so you wanna find out how many seconds they will be running

to do this, you multiply 60 (sixty because there's sixty seconds in one minute) and 10 (ten because that's the given amount of minutes)

60 x 10 = 600 seconds

now to found out how much they will run in 10 minutes you will multiply 600 by 5

600 x 5 = 3000 yards

now to find how many laps this is, you can divide 3000 yards by 400 yards

3000 ÷ 400 = 7.5 laps

A father is 20 years older than his son. Five years ago,he was three times as old as his son was.Find their present ages​

Answers

Answer:

Dad=35, Son=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Well since the dad is 20 year older then the son we can call the son x and the dad x+20. Now five years ago the father was 3 times older then the so we construct the following equation:

x+20−5=3(x−5)

x+15=3x-15

x=15

So now we know that the sons age is 15 meanimg that since the dads 20 years older then him, his age is 20+15 which is 35!

An angle measures 56° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Answers

Answer:

62,118

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one angle = x

So, other angle = x +56

x +x +56 = 180       {Combine like terms}

2x  + 5 6 = 180      {Subtract 56 form both sides}

        2x = 180 - 56

        2x = 124     {Divide both sides by 2}

        x   = 124/2

        x = 62

Other angle = 62 + 56  = 118

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached

You can easily calculate that each of the sides have the length:

AB= BC = CD = AD = [tex]\sqrt{1^2+4^2} = \sqrt{17}[/tex]

Parallel sides have equal slopes:

m = - 4 for AB and CDm = - 1/4 for AD and BC

Diagonals are perpendicular as their slopes are negative reciprocal:

m = 1 for ACm = -1 for BD

So we see the quadrilateral ABCD has two pairs of parallel sides, all sides are equal and the diagonals are perpendicular.

This is the definition of the rhombus.

8+14=22

22 is not greater than 23 therefore he cannot create a triangle
