The length of a rectangular piece of cardboard is 2 cm greater than its width. If the length and the width were each decreased by 1 cm, the area of the cardboard would be decreased by 27 cm². What are the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Write and solve an equation to represent the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13 cm wide;  15 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the original width. Then the original length is (w+2) and the original area is w(w+2). After the decrease, the width is (w-1) and the length is (w+1). The decreased area is (w-1)(w+1). The difference between these areas is 27, so we have ...

  w(w+2) -(w-1)(w+1) = 27

 w^2 +2w -(w^2 -1) = 27

 2w +1 = 27

  w = (27-1)/2 = 13

The original piece of cardboard was 13 cm wide and 15 cm long.

the area of a rectangle is 72cm2, in which the width is twice the length. what are the dimensions

Answers

Answer:

Dimension: 2inches by 4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Width = 2wice\ Length[/tex]

Required

Determine the dimension.

This is calculated as :

[tex]Area = Length * Width[/tex]

[tex]A = L * W[/tex]

So:

[tex]A=L * 2L[/tex]

[tex]A=2L^2[/tex]

Substitute 72 for A

[tex]72=2L^2[/tex]

Divide bith sodes by 2

[tex]36 = L^2[/tex]

Take square root of both sides

[tex]L = 6[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]Width = 2 * Length[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]LEnhth= 0 * 2[/tex]

[tex]LEnhth= 2[/tex]

Hence, the dimension is: 2 by 3 inches

Evan is making a table that will be created of the figure below. The table top is a triangle attached to a rectangle. To purchase the right amount of paint he needs to know the area of the table top He can only spend 10 on paint which is enough to cover 150ft of surfaces area. What is the max length of the base of the the rectangle he can build

Answers

Answer:

23 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the maximum length of the base of the triangle is as follows:

Area of triangle is = 4 × 6 ÷ 2

= 12 ft²

Now the maximum area of the rectangle is

= 150 - 12

= 138 ft²

L = ?

W = 6 ft

Area of rectangle is  = L × W

L × 6 = 138

L = 138 ÷ 6

= 23 ft

We need to find the homeownership proportion in Southern California. The homeownership proportion is believed to be around 50%. How many householders would you survey for a 93% CI where the maximum likely sampling error is 1.5%?

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]n = 3648 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample proportion is  [tex]\^ p = 0.5[/tex]

     The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.015[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  93% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 93 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.07[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.812[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]n = [\frac{ 1.812 }{ 0.015} ]^2 *0.5 (1 - 0.5 ) [/tex]  

=>  [tex]n = 3648 [/tex]

A 500 yard train travels at a constant speed. A motorcyclist rides at a constant speed on the highway parallel to the train tracks. The motorcyclist starts at the rear of the train and drives to the very front of the train, and then falls back to the rear of the train. As the motorcycle completes this cycle, the train travels 1200 yards. How far did the motorcyclist travel?

Answers

Answer:

120/2 = x/5....120 miles to 2 hrs = x miles to 5 hrs

cross multiply

(2)(x) = (120)(5)

2x = 600

x = 600/2

x = 300....the motorcyclist would travel 300 miles in 5 hrs

or u could do it this way..

120/2 = 60 miles per hr

60 * 5 = 300 miles

Answers

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the total number of hours she practices based on the average of 2 hours a day for six days.

This means 6*2 = 12 , she practices a total of 12 hours.

Next find the total hours she already practiced. She practices 1 hour a day from Mon to Fri, which is 5 days, so 1*5 = 5 hours. This is the hours she practiced already.

To meet the mean, she needs to practice 12-5 = 7 hours more on Saturday.

Answer:

must practice 7 hours on Saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' = number of hours on Saturday

(5 (hours) + x) / 6 (days) = 2

[tex]\frac{5+x}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

Answers

Answer

925 students brought their lunch.

Explanation

First let's rewrite the equation.

You know that "of" means multiply and "is" means equal.

Okay, so let's break it down.

The question says, "At your school, 74% of students brought their lunch at the cafeteria. There are 1250 students in the school."

This means that 74% of 1250 students brought their lunch at the cafeteria.

You are trying to find how many students brought their lunch. This will be x.

So the equation would be this.

74% × 1250 = x

74% is 0.74.

0.74 × 1250 = x

0.74 × 1250 = 925

So 925 students brought their lunch.

 y = -1/3x + 3 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. find the slope of the given line

y2-y1/x2-x1          2 - 4/ 3 + 3 = - 1 / 3

take the opposite of that and there is your slope

step 2. plug in the values to the following equation using the given point:

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )          y - 4 = - 1/3 ( x + 1 )

step 3. solve for y

y-4 = -1/3(x+1)

-1/3(x) and -1/3(1)  ----> y-4 = -1/3x-1/3

y-4+4 = -1/3x-1/3+4  ---->  y = -1/3x + 3 2/3
