The Doe family had a rectangular garden with a 58-foot perimeter. They reduced the length by 7 feet and decreased the width to be half as wide as it was originally. This resulted in a garden with a 34-foot perimeter. What is the area of the new smaller garden?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

60 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangular garden = 58 foot

Let x and y denote length and width of the rectangular garden.

2 (Length + Width) = Perimeter of the rectangular garden

[tex]2(x+y)=58\\x+y=\frac{58}{2}\\ x+y=29[/tex]

So,

length = x

width = y = [tex]29-x[/tex]

The length is reduced by 7 feet and the width becomes half.

New length = [tex]x-7[/tex]

New width = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(29-x)[/tex]

New perimeter = 34 foot

[tex]2[(x-7)+\frac{1}{2}(29-x)]=34\\ 2[2(x-7)+(29-x)]=2(34)\\2(x-7)+(29-x)=34\\2x-14+29-x=34\\2x-x-14+29=34\\x+15=34\\x=34-15\\x=19[/tex]

So,

New length [tex]=x-7=19-7=12\,\,foot[/tex]

New width = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(29-19)=\frac{1}{2}(10)=5\,\,foot[/tex]

Area of the new smaller garden = New length × New Width

= 12 × 5

= 60 square foot

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the best way is to split up the erasers before you do anything. That would mean there were 20 gift bags in all

If you did that, then each gift bag would contain 2 pencils with 10 left over.

Further 130 pens would divide up into 6 pens in each gift bag with 10 pens left over.

A.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then corresponding angles are congruent.

B.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then complementary angles are congruent.

C.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

D.
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate exterior angles are congruent.

Answers

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair of angles created on the inner side of the parallel lines intersected by a transversal but on opposing sides of the transversal is known as an alternative interior angle. The correct option is C.

What are Alternate Interior angles?

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the pair of angles created on the inner side of the parallel lines but on opposing sides of the transversal is known as an alternative interior angle. These angles are always equal in measure.

The best statements BEST that proves ∠XWY ≌ ∠ZYW is that If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then alternate interior angles are congruent.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answers

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

A: -56

Step-by-step explanation:

-14=1/4 X

Solve for x!

Multiply both sides by the inverse of 1/4, which is 4! (1/4*4=1)

-14=1/4x

*4     *4

-56 = 1x

ALSO! Check your work!

-14= 1/4(-56) ??????

-14 = -14 YES

Your answer is A: -56

-14=1/4 X

Multiply both sides with the inverse of one over four (1/4*4=1)

-14=1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Surveyors wished to know the distance across a lake between A and B. They measured the distance from B to C as 100 m and the angle from C to A to be 55°. Knowing that the angle between CB and BA was 90°, they used trig to solve for the distance. Show how it was done

Answers

Answer:

AB ≈ 70m

Step-by-step explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

You can see from the diagram that it is a right angled triangle with opposite side AB and adjacent side BC. Using SOH, CAH, TOA trig identity to get the length of AB. According to TOA;

tan 35° = opposite/adjacent

tan 35° = AB/BC

tan 35° = AB/100

AB = 100tan35°

AB = 100 * 0.7002

AB = 70.02m

Hence the distance across a lake between A and B is approximately 70m

What is the value of d that makes lines e and f parallel?
D=

13
85
115

Answers

Answer:

d = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, then

5(2d - 3) and (6d + 11 + 2d) will be corresponding angles and congruent, thus

5(2d - 3) = 6d + 11 + 2d ← distribute left side

10d - 15 = 8d + 11 ( subtract 8d from both sides )

2d - 15 = 11 ( add 15 to both sides )

2d = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = 13

The value of d that makes lines e and f parallel is 13units.

It is required to find the value of d.

What is line?

A line is a straight one-dimensional figure having no thickness and extending infinitely in both directions. A line is made of a set of points which is extended in opposite directions infinitely. It is determined by two points in a two-dimensional plane. The two points which lie on the same line are said to be collinear points.

Given:

For the lines to be parallel, then

5(2d - 3) and (6d + 11 + 2d) will be corresponding angles and congruent.

According to given question we have,

5(2d - 3) = 6d + 11 + 2d

Distribute left side we get,

10d - 15 = 8d + 11  

subtract 8d from both sides we get,

2d - 15 = 11  

Add 15 to both sides  we get,

2d = 26

Divide both sides by 2 we get,

d = 13units.

Therefore, the value of d that makes lines e and f parallel is 13units.

Area of rectangle = 36
▅ х
x + 5

Answers

The value of x is 4, which is determined by the quadratic equation.

What is the area of the rectangle?

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

The rectangle of a rectangle = L × W

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

We have been given that area of the rectangle = 36

Area of rectangle = width of the rectangle × length of the rectangle

Here the width of the rectangle = x

And length of the rectangle = x + 5

The rectangle of a rectangle = x × (x + 5)

36 = x² + 5x

x² + 5x - 36 = 0

x² + 9x - 4x - 36 = 0

(x + 9)(x - 4) = 0

x = -9 and x = 4

Take the value of x = 4 and the negative value is neglected because the dimension can't be negative.

Therefore, the value of x is 4.
