Answer:

Distance between the police station and the fire station be 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between the police station and the fire station be x miles.

The distance between the library and the police station is 3 miles less than twice the distance between the police station and the fire station.

Distance between the library and the police station =2x-3

Also, distance between the library and the police station is 5 miles.

2x-3=5\\2x=3+5\\2x=8\\x=\frac{8}{2}\\ x=4\,\,miles

You just discovered that you have 100 feet of fencing and you have decided to make a rectangular garden. What is the largest are
Rudik [331]
The area is:
 A = x * y
 The perimeter is:
 P = 2x + 2y = 100
 We clear y:
 2y = 100-2x
 y = 50-x
 We write the area in terms of x:
 A (x) = x * (50-x)
 Rewriting:
 A (x) = 50x-x ^ 2
 Deriving:
 A '(x) = 50-2x
 We equal zero and clear x:
 50-2x = 0
 x = 50/2
 x = 25
 Then, the other dimension is given by:
 y = 50-x
 y = 50-25
 y = 25
 Therefore, the largest area is:
 A = (25) * (25)
 A = 625 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the largest area you can enclose using the materials you have is:
 
A = 625 feet ^ 2

Help please.<br><br> Find x.
Degger [83]
You have to use the Geometric Mean for triangles to find x.  Our form will look like this: \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{6+2} which simplifies to \frac{2}{x} = \frac{x}{8}.  Cross multiply to get x^{2} =16.  Therfore, x = 4.  Usually when we take the square root of a number we will end up with both the principle (positive) root and the negative one as well.  But since the 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, we will not consider the -4.  x = 4

Also , the goat can reach around the corners by 2 on the short sides and 1 on long side.creating 2 90 degree sectors of additional grazing area.(1/4)∗π∗22=π
(1/4)∗π∗12=π/4
27π+π+π/4=28.25π

mojhsa [17]

Answer: The  shoe size would be recommended for a four-month-old baby is equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, according to the given figure,

Here, x represents age of baby (in month) while y represents shoe size.

And for babies , 0 the shoe size = 0

3 the shoe size = 1

6 the shoe size = 2

9 the shoe size = 3

12 the shoe size = 4

thus, from the above we can say that, the shoe size of the baby who is 4 month old is 1.
