Originally the dimensions of a rectangle were 15cm by 20cm. When both dimensions were decreased by the same amount, the area of the rectangle is half the area of the original rectangle. Find the dimensions of the new rectangle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an equation to represent this problem.

(15 + w)(20 + w) = 1/2 (15)(20)

Foil out the left side of the equation.

300 + 35w + w^2 = 150

Subtract 150 from both sides.

w^2 + 35w + 150    (I rearranged it to be in the form that is most efficient)

Now solve for variable w using the quadratic equation (look up the formula if necessary)

[-35 +_ (square root of the value of 1225-600)] / 2

[-35 +_ (SqRt of 625)] /2

(-35 +_ 25) /2

=  -30, -5

I just realized that it can't increase by a negative number, so I'm not really sure of the answer. Sorry, my bad. However, I feel that this may be of help to other people anyway, so I think I'll leave it up here. Apologies again.

Feel free to read through my reasoning behind my answer, and see if it gives you any ideas or inspiration for solving this problem.

Patty Cake and Jim Nasium are flying a kite. Patty is 200 m away from Jim who is holding the kite. Facing Jim, Patty finds the angle of elevation of the kite is 40 degrees . If the kite string makes an angle of 85 degrees with the ground, find the amount of string let out by Jim.

Answers

Answer:

Length of the string let out by Jim is 156.9 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Jim observes the angle of elevation of the kite = 85°

And Patty observes the angle of elevation of the kite = 40°

Angle formed between the lines joining kite to Jim and Patty = 180° - (85 + 40)° = 55°

Distance between Jim and Patty = 200 m

Let the length of the string between Jim and the kite = x meters

By applying Sine rule in the triangle formed between Jim, Patty and the kite,

[tex]\frac{\text{Sin}55}{200}=\frac{\text{Sin}40}{x}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{200\times \text{Sin}40}{\text{Sin}55}[/tex]

x = 156.94 m

  ≈ 156.9 m

Therefore, length of the kite string from Jim and the kite is 156.9 m.

Answers

Answer:

a) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that TRAP × 9 = PART and  T, R, A, P all have different integer values (that is their values are different). TRAP and PART are both made up of four integers digits, that means 1000 ≤ TRAP and PART ≤ 9999. This means that TRAP × 9 ≤ 10000. The value of R can be gotten from:

[tex]TRAP<\frac{10000}{9}<1112(rounding \ to \ the \ next \ whole \ number)[/tex]

T cannot be 0, therefore T= 1, Since their values are different, R cannot be equal to T, we get that R can only be 0

What is a sine function?

The sine function in trigonometry is the ratio of the hypotenuse's length to the opposite side's length in a right-angled triangle. To determine a right triangle's unknown angle or sides, utilize the sine function.

Given that the angle θ lies in Quadrant I.

That means all the value of in θ the first quadrant are positive from 0° to 90°.

Here sinθ =  2/5.
And we know cosθ = √(1-sin²θ )

So cosθ = √{1- (2/5)²}

⇒  cosθ = √{1- (4/25)}

⇒  cosθ = √{21/25)}

⇒  cosθ = (√21)/ 5

Therefore, cosθ = (√21)/ 5

Which of these is closest to the time in years that it will take an investment to triple when it is invested in an account that pays 5.4% annual interest, compounded monthly?
20.4 years
20.9 years
2.1 years
0.25 year

Answers

Answer:

20.4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The nper formula in excel comes handy in this scenario:

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

Rate is the monthly rate of 5.4%/12

Assuming actual investment is $5,000 which is pv

The triple amount would be $5,000*3=$15,000 which is future value fv.

pmt is the regular cash flow the investment which is zero

=nper(5.4%/12,0,-5000,15000)= 244.68  months

Yearly it can be expressed as = 244.68/12  =20.39  years

When rounded to one decimal place it becomes 20.4 years

This is because when you multiply the fraction what you get is 60/30. This is equal to the number of 2. So the volume is 2.

5/3 * 3/2 * 4/5

= 5*3*4 = 15*4 = 60

= 3*2*5 = 6*5 = 30

= 60/30= 2

Volume = 5/3 x 3/2 x 4/5

5/3 x 3/2 = 15/6

15/6 x 4/5 = 60/30 = 2

the area of square abcd is 7cm^2

show that x^2+4x=3

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of the square = s² ( s is the measure of the side )

Here s = x + 2 and A = 7 , thus

(x + 2)² = 7 ← expand left side using FOIL

x² + 4x + 4 = 7 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x² + 4x = 3 ← as required

Answer:

(x + 2)² = 7  

x² + 4x + 4 = 7  

x² + 4x = 3

At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?


Answers

Answer:

There were 12 people at the party

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Other answers have already shown that there are  n=12  people at the party, either using combinatorial choose notation

(n2)=n!2!(n−2)!=66  

or by counting handshakes person by person, noting that each successive person has one fewer unique handshake than the prior (as the previously counted people are disregarded), and then using the sum-of-consecutive-integers formula to get

(n−1)+(n−2)+...+2+1=∑n−1k=1k=(n−1)n2=66  

and solving for n .

Here I will provide another method of arriving at n(n−1)2=66.

Instead of keeping track of unique handshakes from the start, note that each person shakes hands with  n−1  other people. As there are n  people at the party, this gives us n(n−1)  handshakes. However, notice that we counted each handshake twice; for example, if Alice and Bob shook hands, we counted that once for Alice, and then again for Bob. To account for the double-counting, we can divide by  2, which gives us the previously mentioned formula of n(n−1)2.

As a side note, if we did not previously know the sum formula, we could use this as a combinatorial proof to show that it works. Also, if we account for repeated counting by dividing by k! , the number of permutations of k  objects, a similar method can be used to derive the chosen formula  (nk)=n!k!(n−k)!.
