the length of a rectangle is 5 cm more than twice a number. the width is 4cm less than the same number. if the area of the rectangle is 15cm2, find the number

Answers

Answer 1
A = Lw (area of rectangle is length times width)
A = 15 (Area is 15)
L = 2x + 5 (length is 2 times a number plus another 5)
w = x - 4 (width is 4 less than that number

Plug in the values:
15 = (2x + 5)(x - 4)
FOIL
15 = 2x2 - 8x + 5x - 20
simplify:
15 = 2x2 - 3x - 20
Subtract 15
0 = 2x2 - 3x - 35
Factor out the quadratic. We know that one number has to be 7 and the other 5 so that they multiply together to make 35, and that one of them has to be negative so that it's actually -35.
That means we have m * n = -35
We also need it set up so that so that 2m + n = -3:
2 * -5 + 7 = -3
0 = (2x + 7)(x - 5)
So:
0 = 2x + 7, or 0 = x - 5
x = -7/2 or 5
We cannot have a negative length, so x = 5

Check:
15 = (2 * 5 + 5) (5 - 4)
15 = 15 * 1
15 = 15

Answers

Answer:
40 square feet

Steps:
Formula for the area of a triangle.
A = B*H/2

Formula for the area of a rectangle.
A = L*W


1. Break up the shape into 1 triangle and 1 rectangle.

2. The length of the rectangle is 8 ft and the width is 3 ft. Plug-in these values into the formula for the area of a rectangle.

A = 8 * 3
A = 24

3. The base of the triangle is 8 ft and the height is 4 ft. Plug-in these values into the formula for the area of a triangle.

A = (8 * 4) / 2
A = 32 / 2
A = 16

4. Now add the two areas together to find the amount of carpet needed.

24 + 16 = 40


Answer:

38 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can take it as combination of two figures, a trapezoid and a triangle.

Trapezoid has bases 12 ft and 8 ft and height 3 ft

Its area is

A = 1/2(8 + 12)(3) = 30 ft²

Triangle has height 4 ft and base 4 ft,

Its area is

A = 1/2(4*4) = 8 ft²

Total area is

30 + 8 = 38 ft²

"
The following is an excerpt from the press release:
The survey of the general public was conducted using a probability-based sample of the adult population by landline and cellular telephone Aug. 15-25, 2014, with a representative sample of 2,002 adults nationwide. The margin of sampling error for results based on all adults is plus or minus 3. 1 percentage points. What is 95% confidence interval for these findings

Answers

Considering the margin of error, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the percentage of adults who say vaccines should be required is (64.9%, 71.1%).

What is a confidence interval?

It is given by the sample statistic plus/minus the margin of error.

In this problem, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required, with a margin of error of 3.1%, hence:

68% - 3.1% = 64.9%.

68% + 3.1% = 71.1%.

if the prisms below are similar what is the ratio of the surface area of the smaller prism to the surface area of the larger prism
v=24
v=375

Answers

The ratio between the surfaces areas of the two prisms is equal to 6.25.

How to get the ratio of the surface areas?

The ratio between the volumes of the prisms is:

[tex]R_v = \frac{375 in^3}{24 in^3} = 15.625[/tex]

This number is equal to the cube of the scale of dilation applied to the dimensions of the smaller prism, so the scale factor is:

[tex]\sqrt[3]{15.625} = 2.5[/tex]

And the ratio between the areas should be the square of the scale factor, then we will have that the ratio between the surface areas of the two prisms is:

[tex]2.5^2 = 6.25[/tex]

Matt wants to start zip line 16 feet high in one tree and end 10 feet high in the other tree is the difference in height sufficient to meet the slope constraint? Use specific numbers from the situation to justify or refute whether Matt’s design meets the slope constraint

Answers

There is no difference in height that is not sufficient to meet the slope constraint if Matt wants to start a zip line 16 feet high in one tree and end 10 feet high in the other tree is the difference in height sufficient to meet the slope constraint.

What is the slope?

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).

We know the slope can be evaluated using:

[tex]\rm Slope = \frac{Change \ in \ y \ axis}{Change \ in \ x \ axis}[/tex]

Change in y-axis = difference in height

Change in y-axis = 16 - 10

                            = 10 feet

Change in x-axis = distance between tress

Since the data is not given.

So, the height difference is insufficient to keep the slope constraint.

Thus, there is no difference in height that is not sufficient to meet the slope constraint if Matt wants to start a zip line 16 feet high in one tree and end 10 feet high in the other tree is the difference in height sufficient to meet the slope constraint.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IM SO CONFUSED AND THEIR IS 90 QUESTIONS AND IM ONLY ON 50 AND ITS DUE THIS FRIDAY

Answers

Answer:

p = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplications

Divisions

Additions

Subtraction

~

Isolate the variable, p, by multiplying 4 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]5 = \frac{p}{4}\\ 5 (* 4) = \frac{p}{4} (* 4)\\ 5 * 4 = p\\p = 20[/tex]

p = 20 is your answer.

~

5 = p/4

You have to put unknowns (p) on 1 side and knowns on other side.

To get p alone you have to move the 4. Since p divides 4, you have to multiple by 4 to cancel it out. BUT Remember if you have to change one side, you have to change other side by same amount too, so the equality stays true. So multiply BOTH sides by 4

4* 5 = (p/4)*4

the 4s on the right side cancel each other because 4/4=1
So,

20 = p

This is sometimes abbreviated ...

  magnitude cis(angle)

__

This form immediately eliminates choices A and D, as those have the trig functions reversed. The signs on the unit vectors i and j tell you the vector has a 4th-quadrant angle, so will be between 270° and 360°. Only answer choice B makes any sense.
