A rectangular playground has an area of 180 square yards. The length of the playground is 3 yards longer than the width. Find the length of the playground.
A)15 yards
B)18 yards
C)12 yards
D)13 yards

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The length is 15 yards so the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If  the length is 3 more than the width  the we will represent it by the equation L = w+3    where w is the width and to find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length by the width. so the length is w+3 and the width is w so

w(w+3) = 180   solve for the w

w^2 + 3w = 180     subtract 180 from both sides

w^2 + 3w -180 = 0    find two numbers that their product is -180 and add to 3.

  the number 12 and -15 works out because -12*15= -180  and -15+ 12 =3

We will now have a new quadratic equation as

w^2 - 12w + 15w - 180 = 0  factor by grouping

w(w-12) 15(w-12)= 0     factor out w-12

(w-12)(w+15) = 0    set them both equal  zero.

w -12 = 0      or  w+15= 0  

w =  12      or  w = -15

Since we know that -15 can't represent a distance, then 12 is the width .  

So if we are to find the length and it gives us the information that the length is 3 yards more that the width then we will add 3 to the width to equal the length.

L= 12 +3

L = 15

Answer 2

The length of the rectangular playground is 15 yards. The correct answer would be an option (A).

What is the area of the rectangle?

The area of a rectangle is defined as the product of the length and width.

The area of a rectangle = L × W

Where W is the width of the rectangle and L is the length of the rectangle

Since the length is 3 more than the width

So, we will represent it by the equation L = W+3  ...(i)

A rectangular playground has an area of 180 square yards

So, L × W = 180

Substitute the value of equation (i), and we get

W(W+3) = 180

W² + 3W = 180

W² + 3W -180 = 0  ...(i)

Solving the above quadratic equation, we get the values of W :

W = 12 and W = -15

Take positive value because dimensions can't be negative.

Substitute the value of W = 12 in equation (i), and we get

L = 12 + 3 = 15

Therefore, the length of the playground is 15 yards.

Calculate the area of triangle RST. a = 38.

Answers

Answer:

722 √(3) square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b * h

But in this question, we have the base which is a while the height is absent

We can use trigonometric ratios since we are given the angle to find the value of the height.

Since we are dealing with the opposite and the adjacent, the correct trigonometric identity to use is the tangent

Mathematically;

Tan 60 = h/a

where h represents the height which we want to calculate

h = a tan 60

But tan 60 = √(3)

So h = a √(3)

Now the area of the triangle will be;

A = 1/2 * a * a √(3)

But a has a value of 38 units.

Substituting this value, we have ;

A = 1/2 * 38 * 38 √(3)

A = 19 * 38√(3)

A = 722 √(3) square units

if the vertex of a parabola is (-4,6) and another point on the curve is (-3,14), what is the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabola's equation?

Answers

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (- 4, 6 ), thus

y = a(x + 4)² + 6

To find a substitute (- 3, 14) into the equation

14 = a(- 3 + 4)² + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

8 = a

Thus the coefficient of the x² term is a = 8

Answers

Answer:

28.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to further explain the description of the right angled triangle ABC above, I have attached a hand drawn diagram for easier understanding.

The length of A D is 5 units

The length of B D is 12 units.

From the above triangle ABC, to solve for BC we have the following ratios.

BD : BC = AD : BD

Hence,

BD/ BC = AD/BD

= 12/BC = 5/12

Cross Multiply

12× 12 = BC × 5

BC = 12 × 12/ 5

BC = 144/5

BC = 28.8 units

Therefore, the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth is 28.8 units

What is the decibel level of the sound of a ticking clock with intensity 10−9 watts per square inch? Use a logarithmic model to solve.

Answers

Answer:

β = (-0.19 dB).

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula which is used to calculate the decibel level of a sound is given by :

[tex]\beta=10\log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})[/tex]

I is intensity of the sound of a ticking clock

[tex]I_o=10^{-12}\[/tex] watts per square meter

Since, [tex]1\ \text{inch}^2=\dfrac{1}{1550}\ \text{m}^2[/tex]

The intensity of a monster truck is converted into per square meter as follows:  

[tex]10^{-9}\ {W/in^2}= \dfrac{10^{-9}}{1550}\ W/m^2\\\\10^{-9}\ {W/in^2}=6.45\times 10^{-13}\ W/m^2[/tex]

So, Decibal level is :

[tex]\beta=10\log (\dfrac{6.45\times 10^{-13}}{10^{-12}})\\\\\beta =-0.19\ dB[/tex]

So, the decibel level of the sound of a ticking clock is (-0.19 dB).

Morgan had 11 inches of snow on her lawn. The temperature then increased and the snow began to melt at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per hour. Assuming no more snow was falling, how much snow would Morgan have on her lawn 2 hours after the snow began to melt? How much snow would Morgan have on her lawn after tt hours of snow melting?

Answers

Answer:

two hours after the snow started melting, the depth of the snow would be 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The melting can be represented by a linear function of the snow depth (D(t)) as a function of time (t). We consider that the initial value is: 11 inches deep at time = 0 (zero). and then decreasing at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour (that is a negative slope = -1.5).

[tex]D(t)=11-1.5\,t[/tex]

Therefore, 2 hours after the snow started melting, one would have:

what is the quotient of the rational expression below x^2-25/x-11÷ x^2+10x+25/4x-44

Answers

Answer:

The quotient is 4x-20/x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient is simply the result of the division

Through factorization, can express x^2 -25 as (x-5)(x+5)

Also x^2 + 10x + 25 as (x+5)(x+5)

and lastly 4x-44 as 4(x-11)

Now when we divide, the numerator of the second fraction will come down while the denominator goes up;

So we have ;

x^-25/x-11 * 4x-44/x^2 + 10x + 25

Now, making use of the factorizations, we have ;

(x-5)(x+5)/(x-11) * 4(x-11)/(x+5)(x+5)

Canceling out like factors, we have

= 4(x-5)/(x+5)

Dora can plant 150 flowers in the same time it takes charlie to plant 120 flowers. Also Dora can plant 18 flowers more per day than charlie. How many flowers can Charlie plant per day?

Answers

Answer:

Number of flowers planted planted by Charlie per day = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Dora can plant 150 flowers and Charlie plants 120 flowers in same time.

Dora can plant 18 flowers more per day than that of Charlie.

To find:

Flowers that can be planted by Charlie per day = ?

Solution:

Let the time taken by Dora to plant 150 flowers = T days

So, T will be the time taken by Charlie to plant 120 flowers.

Number of flowers planted by Dora per day = Total Number of flowers planted by Dora divided by number of days

Number of flowers planted by Dora per day = [tex]\frac{150}{T}[/tex]

Similarly, Number of flowers planted by Charlie per day = Total Number of flowers planted by Charlie divided by number of days

Number of flowers planted by Charlie per day = [tex]\frac{120}{T}[/tex]

As per condition given:

[tex]\dfrac{150}{T} = \dfrac{120}{T} +18[/tex]

Solving the above equation by taking LCM:

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{150}{T} = \dfrac{120 +18T}{T}\\\Rightarrow 150=120+18T\\\Rightarrow 18T = 30\\\Rightarrow T = \dfrac{30}{18}\\\Rightarrow T = \dfrac{5}{3}\ days[/tex]

Number of flowers planted by Charlie per day = [tex]\frac{120}{T}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{120\times 3}{5} = 72[/tex]

So, answer is:

Number of flowers planted planted by Charlie per day = 72

210

Note: this answer might be incorrect because of the value of music (212). This doesn't make logical sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

This question can easily be solved through the use of a venn diagram.

Total number of students = 55

Number of medals in sport = 40 = A

Number of medals in dance = 25 = B

Number of medals in music = 212 = C

Number of students that got award in the three categories = (AnBnC) = 6

n(AuBuC) = 55

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) - 3n(AnBnC) =

n(AnB) + n(AnB) + n(AnC) -3×6 ......equation (i)

n(AuBuC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(AnB) - n(BnC) - n(AnC) + n(AnBnC)

Therefore,

n(AnB) + n(BnC) + n(AnC) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC)

n(A) + n(B) + n(C) + n(AnBnC) - n(AuBuC) - 18

40 + 25 + 212 + 6 - 55 - 18 = 210

Note: this answer might be incorrect because of the value of C (music)
