Charlotte’s weekly paycheck is based on the number of hours worked during the week and on the weekend. If she works 13 hours dur

ing the week and 14 hours on the weekend, she earns $250.90. If she works 15 hours during the week and 8 hours on the weekend, she earns $204.70. How much more does Charlotte earn per hour on the weekends than she earns during the week? Round to the nearest cent.

Charlotte earns 2.30

X: earn per  hour during the week
y: earn per hour during the weekend

13x + 14y = 250.90
15x + 8y = 204.70

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second equation by 7

52x + 56y = 1003.6
105x + 56y = 1432.90

Subtract the first equation from the second:

 53x = 429.30

x = 429.30/ 53
x = 8.10

Solve any of the equation for y:

15x + 8y = 204.70

y = [204.70 - 15(8.10)]/8 = 10.40

y - x = 10.40 -8.10 = 2.30

Answer: she earns $2.30 per hour more during the weekend than during the week.

The volume, V, of a rectangular prism is determined using the formula V=lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Width of the rectangular prism

It is given to us that the volume of the rectangular prism is calculated by the given formula :-

v = lwh

Where,

v = volume

l = length

w = width

h = height

Now,

In the question we are given :-

v = 138.24 cubic inches

h =  9.6 inches

l = 3.2 inches

w = ?

Substitute these values in the volume formula given :-

138.24 = 3.2 * w * 9.6

138.24 = 30.72 * w

w = 138.24/30.72

w = 4.5

⇒ The width of the rectangular prism is 4.5 inches.

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with
cupoosta [38]

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the base of the pyramid, which is a regular hexagon. You can see that there is a right triangle.

The area of the triangle can be calculated with this formula:

A_t=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

You can say that the apothem is the height of the right triangle, then, you need to find the base applying the Pythagorean Theorem:

(2x)^2=(x\sqrt{3})^2+b^2\\\\b=\sqrt{(2x)^2-(x\sqrt{3})^2} \\\\b=\sqrt{4x^2-3x^2}\\\\b=\sqrt{x^2}\\\\b=x

Then, the area of the triangle is:

 A_t=\frac{x(x\sqrt{3})}{2}=\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2}

Since the base of the pyramid is a regular hexagon, then you can multiply by 12 the area of the right triangle calculated above, in order to find the area of the hexagon. Then you get:

A_h=12(\frac{x^2\sqrt{3})}{2})=6x^2\sqrt{3}\ units^2

The height of a cylinder is twice the radius of its base. A cylinder has a height of 2 x and a radius of x. What expression repr
mrs_skeptik [129]

<u>Given</u>:

Let x represents the radius of the cylinder.

Given that the height of the cylinder is twice the radius of its base.

The height of the cylinder is 2x.

We need to determine the volume of the cylinder.

<u>Volume of the cylinder:</u>

The volume of the cylinder can be determined using the formula,

V=\pi r^2h

Substituting r = x and h = 2x, we get;

V=\pi (x)^2(2x)

Simplifying, we get;

V=\pi x^2(2x)

V=2\pi x^3

Thus, the expression that represents the volume of the cylinder is 2πx³ cubic units.

Hence, Option b is the correct answer.

If the farmer has 234 feet of fencing, what are the dimensions of the region which enclose the maximal area?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: 58 ft × 58 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the region = x feet

And, the width of the region = y feet

Since, the perimeter of the region = 234 feet ( Given )

⇒ 2(x+y) = 234

⇒ x+y = 117

⇒ y = 117 - x

Again the area of the region, A = xy

⇒ A(x) = x(117-x)

⇒ A(x) = 117x - x^2

By differentiating the above equation with respect to x,

⇒ A'(x) = 117 - 2x  

For maxima or minima,

A'(x) = 0

\implies 117 - 2x = 0

\implies -2x = -117

\implies x = 58.5

Again differentiating equation A'(x) with respect to x,

We get, A''(x) = -2

Hence, For x = 58.5 A''(x) = negative

⇒ For x = 58.5 feet the area A(x) is maximum,

⇒ The length of the region having maximum area = x = 58.5 feet

And, the width of the region having maximum area = y = 117-x= 117 - 58.5=58.5 feet,

⇒ The dimension of the region having the maximum area = 58.5 ft × 58.5 ft
