A rectangle has a height that is 5 inches less than the base. If the area of the rectangle is 57 inches square, what are the height and base of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The height and base of the rectangle are approximately 5.453 inches and 10.453 inches, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From Geometry we remember that area of a rectangle ([tex]A[/tex]), measured in square inches, is equal to:

[tex]A = w \cdot h[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]w[/tex] - Width, measured in inches.

[tex]h[/tex] - Height, measured in inches.

In addition, we get the following relationship from statement:

[tex]w = h+5\,in[/tex] (Eq. 2)

If we know that [tex]A = 57\,in^{2}[/tex], then the height of the rectangle is:

[tex]57\,in^{2} = (h+5\,in)\cdot h[/tex]

[tex]h^{2}+5\cdot h -57 = 0[/tex]

From Quadratic Formula we obtain the following roots:

[tex]h_{1} \approx 5.453\,in[/tex] and [tex]h_{2}\approx -10.453\,in[/tex]

Only the first root offers a reasonable solution, as length has always positive values. Thus, the height of the rectangle is approximately 5.453 inches.

Now we calculate the width of the rectangle from (Eq. 1):

[tex]w = \frac{A}{h}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]A = 57\,in^{2}[/tex] and [tex]h \approx 5.453 \,in[/tex], then the width of the rectangle is:

[tex]w = \frac{57\,in^{2}}{5.453\,in}[/tex]

[tex]w \approx 10.453\,in[/tex]

The height and base of the rectangle are approximately 5.453 inches and 10.453 inches, respectively.

When will the rocket hit the ground?

Answers

Answer:

t=5

Step-by-step explanation:

y represents height above the ground.

so when it touches the ground height above the ground =0

y=-16t²+80 t

it will hit the ground when y=0

-16t²+80t=0

-16t(t-5)=0

either t=0 or t-5=0

or t=5

t=0 gives initial value.(rejected)

An internet service provider is implementing a new program based on the number of connected devices in each household currently customers are charged a flat rate of 175 per month the new plan would charge a flat rate of 94 per plus an additional 450 per device connected to the network

Answers

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

The new rate is just [tex]\$ \ 175[/tex] per month, let's call it rate A:

[tex]\to A = 175[/tex]

The new price is [tex]\$ \ 94[/tex] plus[tex]\$ \ 4.50[/tex] per device and let us name it rate B:

[tex]\to B = 93 + 2.40 \ x[/tex]

Here x is the number of service devices, In order to find x, the formula of inequalities is less than the current plan:

[tex]\to 94 + 4.50\ x < 175[/tex]

Solve the value for x:

[tex]\to 4.50\ x < 81 \\\\ \to x < 18[/tex]

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 65 m long. If one of the legs is 39 m long, how long is the other leg?​

Answers

Answer:

52 m

Step-by-step explanation:

(a^2) + (b^2) = (c^2)

(39^2) + (b^2) = (65^2)

(39^2) + (b^2) = (65^2)

1521 + (b^2) = 4225

(b^2) = 2704

b = 52

Ashley has 5 bags of flour. She has two smaller bags with .75 ounces in each and 3 bigger bags which has 1.14 ounces in each. How much flour does she have in total?

Answers

Answer:

4.92 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley has 5 bags of flour

She has two smaller bags with .75 ounces in each

= 2 × 0.75 ounces

= 1.5 ounces

3 bigger bags which has 1.14 ounces in each.

= 3 × 1.14 ounces

= 3.42 ounces

How much flour does she have in total?

This is calculated as

1.5 ounces + 3.42 ounces

= 4.92 ounces

Therefore she has 4.92 ounces of flour in total.

Find the distance between (-1,2) and (4,0)

Answers

The distance between the two points would be the square root of 29. The decimal for that number would be 5.4

Answer:  The distance between (-1,2) and (4,0) is about 5.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:  You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance.

The difference in x-values is one side of the triangle  4- (-1) = 5  Side a

The difference in y-values is the other side  0- 2 = -2  Side b

The distance you are looking for is the hypotenuse, side c

Pythagorean Theorem : substitute the numbers we found for a and b

c² = a² + b²

c² = 5² + -2²

c² = 25 + 4

c² = 29    

29  is the "square on the hypotenuse."  So take the square root (use a calculator)

√29 = 5.385

You can round that to 5.4 units

Rectangle RSFT has vertices R(3,10), S(5,10), F(5,6) and T(3,6). RSFT was reflected over the line
y = x, to form R'S'F'T'. What are the coordinates of the vertices of the image?

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertices of the image are R' (10, 3), S' (10, 5), F' (6, 5), T' (6, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) reflected across the line y = x, then its image is (y, x)If the point (x, y) reflected across the line y = -x, then its image is (-y, -x)

Let us use the first rule above to solve the question.

∵ Rectangle RSFT has vertices R (3, 10), S (5, 10), F (5, 6), and T(3, 6)

∵ RSFT was reflected over the line, y = x

→ To find its image switch the coordinates of all the vertices

∵ R = (3, 10)

R' = (10, 3)

∵ S = (5, 10)

S' = (10, 5)

∵ F = (5, 6)

F' = (6, 5)

∵ T = (3, 6)

T' = (6, 3)

The coordinates of the vertices of the image are R' (10, 3), S' (10, 5), F' (6, 5), T' (6, 3)

Answers

Given:

Population of city = [tex]8\times 10^4[/tex]

It is about 20 times as great as the small town.

To find:

The approximate population of the small town.

Solution:

Population of city is about 20 times as great as the small town. It means,

[tex]\text{Population of city}=20\times \text{Population of small town}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Population of city}}{20}=\text{Population of small town}[/tex]

On substituting Population of city = [tex]8\times 10^4[/tex], we get

[tex]\text{Population of small town}=\dfrac{8\times 10^4}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Population of small town}=\dfrac{8\times 10\times 10^3}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Population of small town}=4\times 10^3[/tex]

Therefore, the population of the small town is [tex]4\times 10^3[/tex].
