$a\ golden\ rectangle:\ \ \ \frac{a+b}{a}= \frac{a}{b} \\----------------\\a+b=16\ [ft]\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ b=16-a\\\\ \frac{16}{a} = \frac{a}{16-a} \ \ \ \ \Leftrightarrow\ \ \ 16(16-a)=a^2\\\\a^2+16a-256=0\\\\\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \Delta=16^2-4\cdot(-256)=256\cdot5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ \sqrt{\Delta} =16 \sqrt{5} \\\\a_1= \frac{-16-16 \sqrt{5} }{2} =-8-8 \sqrt{5} 0\\\\$

$a=8( \sqrt{5} -1)\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ b=16-8( \sqrt{5} -1)=16-8\sqrt{5} +8=8(3- \sqrt{5} )\\\\Ans.\ This\ golden\ ractangle\ has\ sides:\\.\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 8( \sqrt{5} -1)\ [ft]\ \ and\ \ 8(3- \sqrt{5} )\ [ft]$

How to round 47,125 to the nearest ten,to the nearest hundred, to the nearest thousand and to the nearest ten thousand

Tasya [4]

To be able to round the number 47,125 to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and thousandth place you need to know were those places are. The tens place is the second one from the right hand side. The hundreds place is the third one from the right hand side and the thousands place is the one right after the comma. Now, to round to the tens place, you need to look at the place right behind it (which would be the ones place) then you need to analyze. If the number in the ones place is between 0-4 you can NOT round the tens place but, if it is between 5-9 you can. The same rule applies when you round to the hundreds and thousands place. So the number you should end up with is - 47,135.

Divide 6K2 - 15k-5 by 3k

icang [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6k^2

------- = 2k; and:

-15k

------- = -5

-5 cannot be evenly divided by 3k, so there's a remainder instead.

6k^2 - 15k - 5

-------------------- = 2k -5 with remainder -5.

Eli, Freda and Geoff were given £800 to share in the ratio of their ages.

algol13

First, we are going to find the sum of their age. To do that we are going to add the age of Eli, the age Freda, and the age of Geoff:
 $9+13+18=40$
The combined age of Eli, Freda, and Geoff is 40, so the denominator of each ratio will be 40.

Next, we are going to multiply the ratio between the age of the person and their combined age by £800:
For Eli: $\frac{9}{40} *800=180$
For Freda: $\frac{13}{40} *800=260$
For Geoff: $\frac{18}{40} *800=360$

We can conclude that Eli will get £180, Freda will get £260, and Geoff will get £360.
