A garden measuring 8 feet by 12 feet will have a walkway around it. The walkway has
a uniform width, and the area covered by the garden and walkway is 192 square feet.
What is the width of the walkway?
O 3.5 feet
O 6 feet
O 2 feet
O 4 feet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

By solving a quadratic equation, we will see that the width of the walkway must be 2 ft.

How to get the width of the walkway?

Remember that the area of a rectangle of length L and width W is:

A = L*W

In this case, we know that the dimensions are:

Length = 8ftWidth = 12ft

Now, if we add a walkway of width x all around the garden, the new dimensions of the garden are:

Length = 8ft + 2xWidth = 12ft + 2x

Now with these dimensions, the area is 192 ft^2, then we can write:

192 ft^2  = (8ft + 2x)*(12ft + 2x)

Now we need to solve that for x:

192 ft^2 = 96ft^2 + 4x^2 + 40ft*x

0 = 96ft^2 - 192ft^2 + 4x^2 + 40ft*x

0 = 4x^2 + 40ft*x - 96ft^2

This is a quadratic equation, the solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]x = \frac{-(40ft) \pm \sqrt{(40ft)^2 - 4*4*(-96ft^2)} }{2*4} \\\\x = \frac{-(40ft) \pm 56ft }{8}[/tex]

Notice that we have two solutions, but we only care for the positive one, so we take:

x = (-40ft + 56ft)/8 = 2ft

So the width of the walkway must be 2ft.

A bag contains 6 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 7 green marbles. If three marbles are drawn out of the bag, what is the probability, , that all three marbles drawn will be green?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Not large

Total number of marbles = 4 + 7 + 6 = 17

Number of green marbles = 7

Probability of first marble being green =  7/17

Probability of the second marble being green = 6/16

Probability of the third marble being green = 5/15

Probability (3 green) = 7 / 17 * 6/16 * 5/15 = 210 / 4080 = 0.05147

In ΔIJK, the measure of ∠K=90°, IJ = 8.6 feet, and KI = 4.5 feet. Find the measure of ∠I to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answers

Answer:

m∠I = 58.4°

Step-by-step explanation:

cos = adjacent side/hypotenuse

It is always helpful to have a picture.   In your case KI is adjacent to ∠I and IJ is the hypotenuse.

So cos I = KI/IJ = 4.5/8.6

     arccos (4.5/8.6) = m∠I

m∠I = 58.4°

It is necessary for you to memorize the definitions of the trig functions in order to do these types of problems.  OK?

find the amplitude of the function. y=1.5sin4x

Answers

Answer:

amplitude is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If amplitude of f(x) is a, the amplitude of f(cx + d) is also a, for any d and non-zero c.

If amplitude of f(x) is a, the amplitude of cf(x) + d is c*a, for any d and any c.

From that we know that amplitude of y=1.5sin4x is the same as amplitude of y=1.5sinx, and 1.5 times more than amplitude of y=sinx. And we know that amplitude of sinx is 1.

Thus, amplitude of y=1.5sin4x is 1.5

A painter uses 2 1/2 cans of paint 1/4 of a room. How much of a room could he paint with 1 can of paint?

Answers

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert your numbers to decimals.

2.5 cans of paint cover 0.25 area of a room.

Equation:

2.5=0.25

If you divide 2.5 by 5, you'll get 0.5.

But what you do to one side, you do it to the other.

0.25÷5= 0.05

So now you have your new equation

0.5=0.05

since you want 1 can of paint, multiply it by 2.

1= 0.1

convert it back to fraction: 1/10

Security deposit is paid in advance to protect landlords against nonpayment.

What is Percentage?

percentage, a relative value indicating hundredth parts of any quantity.

A security deposit is a sum of money paid by a tenant to a landlord or property manager before moving in, with the purpose of protecting the landlord in case the tenant does not fulfill their obligations under the lease agreement, such as not paying rent, damaging the property or leaving it unclean at the end of the lease.

The amount of the security deposit is usually equal to one or two months' rent, and it is refundable at the end of the lease term, provided that the tenant has complied with all the terms of the lease.

If the tenant has breached the lease agreement, the landlord may use the security deposit to cover the unpaid rent or any damages caused by the tenant.

Hence, Security deposit is paid in advance to protect landlords against nonpayment.
