Answer:

The equation can be expressed as;

x+y=71 where,

Lengths of two equal sides=x=22 m

Lengths of longer side=y=27 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total perimeter can be expressed as;

Total perimeter=Total length of the equal sides+total length of the longer side

where;

Total perimeter=71 m

Total length of each of the equal sides=x m

Total length of longer side=y=(x+5) m

replacing;

x+y=71...equation 1

71=(2×x)+(x+5)

2 x+x=71-5

3 x=66

x=66/3

x=22 m

y=x+5=22+5=27 m

Lengths of two equal sides=22 m

Lengths of longer side=27 m

Equation;

x+y=71

AC, DF, and GI are parallel. Use the figure to complete the proportion.

JA / JC = AB / BC because, as we can see in the picture above, it's the same proportion. So the answer is the fourth one - BC.

I hope that's what you meant and if so that it will help you :)

A rectangular swimming pool is to be built with an area of 1800 square feet. The owner wants 5-foot wide decks along either side
FrozenT [24]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

A = (l + 20) · (w + 10)

The area of the pool is 1800 square feet and can be computed also like l · w. Then l · w = 1800, and therefore l = 1800 w.

We plug in the values:

A = (1800 / w + 20) · (w + 10) = 1800 + 18000 / w + 20w + 200 = 18000 / w + 20w + 2000

dA /dw = − 18000 / w2 + 20

w = 30

l = 60

Since A = (l + 20) · (w + 10):

A = (60 + 20) · (30+ 10)

A = 3,200

<span>A(x) = 1800 + 2*10(x+10)+ 2*5(1800/x) </span><span>
<span>= 1800 + 20x + 200 + 18000/x </span>
<span>= 2000 + 20 x + 18000/x </span></span>

<span>20 - 18000/x^2 = 0 </span><span>
<span>x = sqrt (900) = 30 </span>
<span>Pool length dimension = 1800/x = 60 </span>
Lot dimensions: 80 x 40</span>

I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A test has a mean of 80 with a standard deviation of 4. Which of the following scores is within one standard deviation of the me
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we shall be using the z-score here

Z-score = (x-mean)/SD

From the question, mean = 80 and SD = 4

So we want to get the option in the question that has a z-score of 1 or below

Let’s look at 75

80-75 = 5 ( this is clearly above 1 standard deviation of 4)

For 77;

80 -77 = 3

This is less than the standard deviation of 4, meaning it is within 1 standard deviation of the mean

John needs 13 bottles of water from the store. john can only carry 3 at a time. what's the minimum number of trips john needs to
Lostsunrise [7]
The minimum amount of trips would be 5. This is because in one trip he can only carry 3, so you would take 5 times 3. You may think it should be 4 trips, but 12 is 1 short of 13,so you would have to make one extra trip to get all 13 bottles.
