The problem statement tells you the length of the first leg is "l".
The length of the second leg is l/2.
The length of the third leg is 2(l/2) -3 = l -3 ft.

The length of the three legs totals 32 ft
.. l +l/2 +(l -3 ft) = 32 ft
.. (5/2)l = 35 ft . . . . . . . . . combine like terms, add 3 ft
.. l = (2/5)*35 ft = 14 f

The length of the side of the shed is 14 ft.

In the rectangular prism below, the length of MR is 8 inches, the length of RS is 9 inches, and the length of ST is 12 inches.
Sever21 [200]
Unfortunately, there's no diagram here!  But the prism is described as "rectangular."  Thus, the volume is simply (length)(width)(height) cubic inches.  Multiply: (8 inches)(9 inches)(12 inches).

pentagon [3]

Answer:

in units: 18,900

in dollars: $ 41,013

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even point is the sales dollar amount or sales in unit at whichthe operating income of the firm equals to zero:\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units }

Where:

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

<em><u>Contribution margin:</u></em>

2.17 - 1.27 = 1 dollar per unit

Break even:

$18,900 fixed cost /  $1 per unit = 18,900 units

Then, in sales:

18,900 x $2.17 each = 41.013‬

break even point:

a woman is looking for a bigger square office. she finds an office twice the area of her square office. if the perimeter is 88ft
UNO [17]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of current office = 88 ft

We have perimeter = 4a , where a is the side of square.

Equating

4a = 88

a = 22 sqft

Area of current office = a x a = 22 x 22 = 484 square feet.

Area of new office is twice the area of current office.

Area of new office = 2 x 484 = 968 square feet.

Option C is the correct answer.
