4. 19.8
56/4=14
Diagonal of a square is equal to one side multiplied by the square root of two.
Therefore, it is 19.8, being that square root is (in super simple rounding) 1.5.

Answer:

17.8 cm is the approximate length of its diagonal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of the square = l

Perimeter of the square = P = 56 cm

Perimeter of the square is the sum of all the sides of the square.

4a = 56 cm

$4a=56 cm$

$a=\frac{56}{4}=14 cm$

The length of the diagonal is given by: d

$d^2=a^2+a^2$ (Pythagoras theorem)

$d=\sqrt{a^2+a^2}=\sqrt{2a^2}$

$d=17.79 cm\approx 17.8 cm$

17.8 cm is the approximate length of its diagonal.

Melissa wants to make a table representing the area of her vegetable garden for a variety of different lengths of the tomato pat

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\ \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The date from the given table, is expressed as follows;

Area of Vegetable Garden (in square feet); 338, ___, 147.25, ___

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); ___, 6.5, ___, 7

The length of the tomato patch increases with decrease in the area of the garden

Given that the length of the tomato patch is the independent variable, we can have;

Length of Tomato Patch (in feet); 6.25, 6.5, 6.75, 7

Therefore, for an increase in the length of the tomato patch from 6.25 to 6.75, (a change of Δl = 0.5) the area of the vegetable garden decreased from 338 to 147.25 which is a decrease of ΔA = 190.75

Therefore, the width of the tomato patch, w = ΔA/Δl = 190.75/0.5 = 381.5

The width of the tomato patch, w = 381.5 ft.

The relationship between the total area, TA, the area of the vegetable garden, <em>A</em>, and the length of the tomato patch, <em>l</em>, is therefore, given as follows;

A = TA - 381.5·l

338 = TA - 381.5×6.25

TA = 338 + 381.5×6.25 = 2,722.375

Therefore, when l = 6.5, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×6.5 = 242.625

When l = 7, we get

A = 2,722.375 - 381.5×7 = 51.875

Therefore, we get;

$\begin{array}{cc}Length \ of \ Tomato \ Patch \ (in \ feet)&Area \ of \ Vegetable \ Garden \ (in \ square \ feet)\\\ [6.25]&338\\6.5&[242.625]\\ \ [6.75]&147.25\\7&[51.875]\end{array}$

Which could be the dimensions of a rectangular prism whose surface area is greater than 140 square feet? Select three options,

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

These are the rectangular prisms that have a surface area greater than 140 square feet

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

All you have to do is go through all the options given to you to figure out which retangular prisms have a surface area greater than 140 square feet.

6 feet by 2 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((2)(6)+(3)(6)+(3)(2))

SA = 2(12 + 18 + 6)

SA = 2(36)

SA = 72

6 feet by 5 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((6)(5) + (4)(5) + (4)(6))

SA = 2(30 + 20 + 24)

SA = 2(74)

SA = 148

7 feet by 6 feet by 4 feet

SA = 2((7)(6) + (4)(6) + (4)(7))

SA = 2(42 + 24 + 28)

SA = 2(94)

SA = 188

8 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet

SA = 2((8)(3)+(7)(3)+(7)(8))

SA = 2(24 + 21 + 56)

SA = 2(101)

SA = 202

8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet

SA = 2((8)(4)+(3)(4)+(3)(8))

SA = 2(32 + 12 + 24)

SA = 2(68)

SA = 136

At what rate would you need to invest $12000 and make $2880 after 8 years?

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$3\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

$t=8\ years\\ P=\$12,000\\I=\$2,880\\r=?$

substitute in the formula above

$2,880=12,000(8r)$

Solve for t

$2,880=96,000(r)$

$r=2,880/96,000$

$r=0.03$

Convert to percent form

$0.03*100=3\%$

Sitting on a park bench, you see a swing that is 100 feet away and a slide that is 80 feet away. The angle between them is 30 de

leva [86]

We are given : Distance of the swing = 100 feet.

Distance of slide = 80 feet.

Angle between swing and slide = 30 degrees.

We need to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

Distance of swing, distance of slide and distance between the swing and the slide form a triangle.

We can apply cosine law to find the distance between the swing and the slide.

c^2 = a^2 +b^2 - 2ab cos C

c^2 = 100^2 +80^2 - 2(100)(80) cos 30°

c^2 = 10000 + 6400 -2* 8000 $(\frac{\sqrt{3}} 2)}$

c^2 = 16400 - 8000 $\sqrt{3}$

c^2 = 16400 - 13856

c^2 = 2544

$c =\sqrt{2544}$

c= 50.44

c = 50 feet approximately.

<h3>Therefore, the approximate distance between the swing and the slide is 50 feet.</h3>
