Cynthia besch wants to buy a rug for a room that is 20 ft wide and 33 ft long. She wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug. She can afford to buy 378 ft² of carpeting. What dimensions should the rug have?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of rug = 14 ft

Width of rug = 27 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of rug = 20 ft

Width of rug = 33 ft

Area she afford = 378 ft²

Find:

New sides

Computation:

Assume;

Uniform strip = x

So,

Length of rug = 20 - x ft

Width of rug = 33 - x ft

Ares = l × b

[20-x][33-x] = 378

660 - 20x - 33x + x² = 378

x² - 53x + 282

x² - 47x - 6x + 282

x(x-47) -6(x-47)

So,

x = 6 and x = 47

X = 47 not be taken, So x=6

Length of rug = 20 - 6 ft

Width of rug = 33 - 6 ft

Length of rug = 14 ft

Width of rug = 27 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

✦ First you need to know the area of a triangle:

  ✧ ½ x b x h

✦ Now write you formula out:

  ✧ ½ x 5 x 4

   

✦ Now just solve:

  ✧ 5 x 4 = 20

  ✧ 20 / ½ = 10

So it'd be 10 m²

Convert 4,700,000,000 from standard form to scientific notation. 470 × 107 47 × 108 4.7 × 109 478

Answers

Answer:

4.7 * 10 ^9

Step-by-step explanation:

4,700,000,000

Scientific notation is of the form

a * 10 ^b  where a is a number between 1 and less than 10

Move the decimal so that it is a number between 1 and less than 10

4,700,000,000  becomes 4.700000000  and we moved the decimal 9 places to the left  b is +9  ( positive because we moved to the left)  We can drop the extraneous zeros

4.7 * 10 ^9

lou thinks the expression 27x^3-64 factors to (3x-4) (9x^2+12x+16). is he correct? How can you check his work? Show all work to justify your thinking.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a³ - b³) = (a - b) (a² + ab + b²)

27x³ - 64 = 3³x³ - 4³

               = (3x)³ - 4³   {a = 3x & b= 4)

Substitute in the above formula.

               = (3x -4)([3x]² + 3x*4 + 4²)

              = (3x - 4)(9x² + 12x + 16)

The expression 27x^3-64 factors to (3x-4) (9x^2+12x+16).

Answers

Answer:

<b=120°,<c=60° & <d=60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

given that <a=120°

<a is vertically opposite to <b

We know,vertically oppposite angles are equal

So,<a=<b=120°

<a & <c lies on a straight angle.

So,<c=180°-120° (Sum of two angles on a straight angle is 180°)

     <c=60°

Again,<c is vertically opposite to <d.

So,<d=60°.

Answers

Answer:

15.62 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the flagpole is 10ft tall and the shadow is 12ft long, and you need to find the distance from the top of the flagpole to the far end of the shadow, to get your answer, you must use the pythagorean theorum.

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

let height of flagpole = a

let length of shadow = b

let distance between the two = c

[tex]10^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2} \\100 + 144 = c^{2}\\244 = c^{2}\\\sqrt{244} = \sqrt{c^{2}} \\\sqrt{244} = c\\15.62 = c[/tex]

Solve the right triangle. Side AB is 2.9, but I don't know how to find two missing angles with three sides and a 90-degree angle. Please explain your answer.

Answers

Answer: Choice (a) in the upper left corner

Angle A = 68 degrees

Angle B = 22 degrees

Side AB = 2.9 cm

The three values are approximate

=========================================================

Explanation:

a = BC = 2.7 and b = AC = 1.1 are the two legs of the right triangle.

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2.7^2 + 1.1^2 = c^2

8.5 = c^2

c^2 = 8.5

c = sqrt(8.5)

c = 2.91547594742266

c = 2.9

The hypotenuse is c = AB = 2.9

--------------------

We then use trig ratios to find the two missing angles.

Let's say we ignore the hypotenuse and focus on the two legs of the triangle.

With respect to reference angle A, side BC is opposite and AC is adjacent

Use the tangent ratio to get

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(A) = BC/AC

tan(A) = 2.7/1.1

tan(A) = 2.45454545454546

A = arctan(2.45454545454546)

A = 67.8336541779176

A = 68

Note: arctan is the same as inverse tangent or [tex]\tan^{-1}[/tex]. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

-------------------

Similarly,

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(B) = AC/BC

tan(B) = 1.1/2.7

tan(B) = 0.4074074074074

B = arctan(0.4074074074074)

B = 22.166345822082

B = 22

Or you could use the value of A to get B = 90-A = 90-68 = 22. This works because A+B = 90 as we're working with a right triangle. In other words, A and B are complementary angles.

-------------------

In summary we found

A = 68

B = 22

AB = 2.9
