A rectangle is 3 cm longer than it is wide. The diagonal is 15 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 12 cm, and the width is 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length and width of a rectangle as legs form a right triangle with the diagonal of the triangle as the hypotenuse.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to write an equation.

Let the width = w = leg a

The length = w + 3 = leg b

The diagonal = the hypotenuse = 12 = c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

w^2 + (w + 3)^2 = 15^2

w^2 + w^2 + 6w + 9 = 225

2w^2 + 6w - 216 = 0

w^2 + 3w - 108 = 0

(w + 12)(w - 9) = 0

w + 12 = 0   or   w - 9 = 0

w = -12   or   w = 9

Since a width cannot be a negative number, we discard the solution w = -12.

width = w = 9

length = w + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

Answer: The length is 12 cm, and the width is 9 cm.

Mr. Ciullo says he ordered the same amount of bananas each month for his grocery store last year, and the number of pounds ordered each month is a whole number. The produce company says he ordered $6,150 pounds of bananas last year. Does the produce company agree with Mr. Ciullo?

Answers

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the produce company does not agree with Mr. Ciullo. There are a total of 12 months in a year and Mr. Ciullo claims that he ordered a whole number of bananas each month. Therefore, if we divide the total amount in pounds that the produce company claims that Mr. Ciullo ordered last year by the twelve months in the year then the result should be a whole number...

6,150 lbs. / 12 = 512.50 lbs.

We can see that the produce company is claiming that Mr. Ciullo ordered 512.50 pounds per month last year, which is not a whole number and therefore contradicting Mr. Ciullo's statement.

Answer:

y = x + 4 or x - y + 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between "x" and "y" is linear.

Slope of the line m = [tex]\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6-5}{2-1}[/tex] = 1

Coordinates of y-intercept of the line (0, b) = (0, 4)

Slope-intercept form of a line equation is y = mx + b

The rule (equation) of line is y = x + 4

This question is incomplete

Complete Question

Tyler went to the supermarket to buy food for a food pantry. He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar. Let x = the number of packages of pasta and y = the number of jars of pasta sauce. One package of pasta is the right amount to go with one jar of pasta sauce. What is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the number of packages of pasta

y = the number of jars of pasta sauce.

He has $36, and can carry up to 20 pounds of food in his backpack. Pasta costs $1 for a 1-pound package. Pasta sauce costs $3 for a 1.5 pound jar.

x + 1.5y ≤ 20....... Equation 1

x = 20 - 1.5y

x × $1 + y × $3 = $36

x + 3y ≤ 36..... Equation 2

20 - 1.5y + 3y = 36

-1.5y + 3y = 36 - 20

1.5y = 16

y = 16/1.5

y = 8

And x = 8

Therefore,

Eight is the best numbers of packages of pasta and jars of pasta sauce to buy for the food pantry.

angle Z = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 2x^2 - 4

put like terms on same sides, lets subtract x^2 to both sides

0 = x^2 - 4

add 4 to both sides

4 = x^2

square root of 4 = 2

x=2

since it is a square, we know all sides are the same length (proof also shown) so y is equal to the other side x^2

y = x^2

y = 4

Angle Z is 45 degrees, because a square has all right angles that are 90 degrees, but a diagonal evenly splits angle into two 45 degree parts.

A train traveling at 37 M.P.H. had its speed increased by 22 ft. per sec.
If 88 ft./sec. = 60 M.P.H., then the train is now traveling at M.P.H.

Answers

Answer:

52 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

If 88 ft/sec = 60 mph

The 22 ft/ sec is 60/4 = 15 mph

This is so because 88/22 is 4

So we simply proceed to add this to the previous speed in mph

That gives a total of 15 + 37 = 52 mph
