A helicopter landing pad has a length of 80 ft and a width of 50 ft. A safety zone of uniform width, which is not to be entered during landing, surrounds the landing pad. The landing pad and safety zone together have a combined area of 10800 ft2, what is the uniform width (safety zone) around the landing pad?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the uniform width of the safety zone.

We have combined area = 10,800ft².

=> Combined area = Length * Width

= (80 + 2w)(50 + 2w)ft².

Therefore (80 + 2w)(50 + 2w) = 10,800.

=> 4,000 + 260w + 4w² = 10,800

=> 4w² + 260w - 6,800 = 0

=> w² + 65w - 1,700 = 0

=> (w - 20)(w + 85) = 0

=> w = 20 or w = -85

(w = -85 is rejected as width must be positive)

Hence the uniform width is 20ft.

The area of a rectangle is represented by 3x^2 + 14x + 8. Factor the area to determine the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

(3x+2)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+2)(x+4) = (3x)(x) + (3x)(4) + (2)(x) + (2)(4)

= 3x² + 12x + 2x + 8 *****

= 3x² + 14x + 8

You start by figuring it will be in the form of (3x + a)(x + b) because 3 doesn't factor. The two middle terms in the line followed by the stars must add up to 14x. And in (3x + a)(x + b), ab must be equal to the 8 on the end (the constant factor).

For most people, factoring takes a LOT of practice. And somethimes you just have to try a lot of factors before you hit the right combination. But if you do it enough, it really does get easier to 'see' the answer a lot of the time.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

500 Divided by 2 = 250, The 500 is the amount in total,The 250 is the amount of bracelets and necklaces needed for 500$ To be a accurate number for 'Sarah's ' Situation. Now 250 divided by 2 is 125. It was divided by 2 so it can be the amount the bracelets cost. Or instead of dividing to get 250, You can multiply and do  2x125=250, So them add Go on from there, Its not to hard but if you need more help I'm here!

Rita is designing a building shaped like a pyramid that's cut off in a plane parallel to its base (this is called a truncated pyramid). The building has a 64×64 m end text square base and is 36 m tall. The cut off section has a16×16m square base and is 12 m tall. What is the volume of the building? Round to the nearest cubic meter.

Answers

Area of full pyramid: = 1/3 x area of base x height

Area = 1/3 x 64^2 x 36 = 49,152 cubic meters

Area of top section: 1/3 x 16^2 x 12 = 1,024 cubic meters

Total volume of truncated pyramid = 49,152 - 1,024 = 48,128 cubic meters

Solve for x.

Answers

Answer:

B. -5

Step-by-step explanation:

this is quite simple, so what you are going to want to do is multiply -3 by 4, and -16, so distribute that and you'll end up with

-12x+48= -12

then you want to subtract 48 from both side to leave the x on one side alone

that will be -12x= -60

after that you have to divide both sides by -12 to find your x

so then you will see that your x is = -5! hope this helps!!
