Cynthia Besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 19 ft wide and 25 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can
afford to buy 315 square feet of carpeting What dimensions should the rug have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

13 x 158

Step-by-step explanation:

L= 2W

A= 315 sq ft^2

A= L*W

315= 2W* W

315/2= 158 = w^2

W^2= 158

W=[tex]\sqrt{158}[/tex]

W= 13

Answer 2

The rug should have a dimension of 15 ft wide and 21 ft long.

What is a rectangle?

A Rectangle is a four sided-polygon, having all the internal angles equal to 90 degrees. The two sides at each corner or vertex, meet at right angles.

Let the length of the room be l and h be the width.

So, given that,

l = 19 ft

h = 25 ft

Let w be the width of rug,

Since Cynthia can afford to buy 315 square feet of carpeting

So, area of the rug should be given as,

l*h = 315

Now to carpet the room along its dimension, each side of the width is

w + w = 2w.

So, l =25 - 2w

h = 19 - 2w

Now, ∵ l*h = 315

Put the values we get,

(25 - 2w)*(19 - 2w)  = 315

expanding we get,

4w² - 88w + 475 = 315

or, 4w² - 88w + 160 = 0

or, w² - 22w + 40 = 0

using the quadratic equation we get two solutions:

w = 2

w = 20

Since, w = 20 is greater than one of the width of the room i.e 19ft

So,we take the solution w = 2

Thus, dimensions of rug is given as,

l = 25 - 2*2 = 21 ft

h = 19 - 2*2 = 15 ft

Thus, the rug should have a dimension of 15 ft wide and 21 ft long.

A walkway goes through the middle of a square playground from one corner to the opposite corner. If the walkway is 20 meters long, how long are each of the sides of the playground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.

Need Help!

Answers

I think you would use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this, as a square cut across diagonally creates two isocele triangles. Since the longest side is 20 m, this value would be imputed into c^2.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + a^2 = 20^2
2a^2 = 400
2a^2/2 = 400/2
a^2 = 200
a = 14.14

Thus, each sides of the playground are 14.14 meters long.

The area of triangle xyz is 35 cm. the height is 10cm. what is the base of the triangle?

Answers

Area of Triangle=1/2(h x b)
35=1/2(10 x b)
35=5 x b
35=5b
7cm=b is the base of the triangle

Answer:

Base of the triangle = 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information,

→ Area of triangle = 35 cm

→ Height = 10 cm

Now we have to,

→ Find the base of the triangle.

Formula we use,

→ Area = ½ × b × h

Forming the equation,

→ (1/2) × b × 10 = 35

Then the value of b will be,

→ (1/2) × b × 10 = 35

→ (b × 10)/2 = 35

→ 10b/2 = 35

→ 10b = 35 × 2

→ 10b = 70

→ b = 70/10

→ [ b = 7 cm ]

Hence, the value of b is 7 cm.

Parking lots A and B each charge a set fee for parking plus an hourly rate.

Hours Parked48Lot A Cost ($)19.00/33.00

Lot B Cost ($)20.00/32.00

How many more dollars does it cost per hour to park in Lot A than in Lot B? Give the answer as a decimal showing dollars and cents.

Answers

Answer:

$0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Hours ___Lot A Cost ($) ___ Lot B Cost ($) 4____________19.00 _____ 20.00

8 ___________ 33.00 ______ 32.00

Using the equation :

y = mx + C

m = slope = Hourly charge

C = intercept = set park fee

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

For LotA:

m1 = (33 - 19) / (8 - 4)

m1 = 14 / 4

m1 = 3.5

For LotB:

m2 = (32 - 20) / (8 - 4)

m2 = 12 / 4

m2 = 3

Since, m is the hourly cost :

Difference = m1 - m2

= 3.5 - 3

= $0. 5

If 2^2x = 2^3, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

X = 3/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attachment given above.

The value of x in the equation 2[tex]^{(2x)}[/tex] = 2³ is 1.5.

To find the value of x in the equation 2[tex]^{(2x)}[/tex] = 2³, we can use the property of exponents that states: If two exponential expressions have the same base and are equal, then their exponents must be equal.

In this case, we have 2[tex]^{(2x)}[/tex] = 2³. Since the bases are the same (both are 2), we can equate the exponents:

2x = 3

Now, to solve for x, divide both sides by 2:

x = 3/2

So, the value of x is 3/2 or 1.5.

Juliette made cookies for a bake sale and wants to package the same number of cookies together. If she makes 16 chocolate chip cookies, 32 mint cookies, and 24 gingerbread cookies, what is the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag?

Answers

Answer:

8 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked in the above question to find the most number of cookies that would be in the bag.

We solve the above question using the Greatest Common Factor method

We find the factors of 16, 24, 32

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 24 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then the greatest common factor is 8.

Therefore, the most number of each type of cookie that will be in the bag is 8 cookies

An exponential function, f(x), passes through the points (2,5) and (8,20). Determine the value of f(25) to the nearest integer.

Answers

Answer:

assume: f(x) = A(bx); then: f(8) = A(b8) = 20;

and: f(2) = A(b2) = 5

dividing the first equation by the second equation gives: b6 = 4; or: b = 4(1/6) = 1.26;

then: A(1.262) = 5; or: A = 5/(1.262) = 3.15; then: f(x) = 3.15(1.26x);

so that: f(25) = 3.15(1.2625) = 1017.6 ---> 1018
