The length of a rectangular piece of cardboard is 2 cm greater than its width. If the length and the width were each decreased by 1 cm, the area of the cardboard would be decreased by 27 cm². What are the dimensions of the original piece of cardboard?

Write and solve an equation to represent the problem.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13 cm wide;  15 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the original width. Then the original length is (w+2) and the original area is w(w+2). After the decrease, the width is (w-1) and the length is (w+1). The decreased area is (w-1)(w+1). The difference between these areas is 27, so we have ...

  w(w+2) -(w-1)(w+1) = 27

 w^2 +2w -(w^2 -1) = 27

 2w +1 = 27

  w = (27-1)/2 = 13

The original piece of cardboard was 13 cm wide and 15 cm long.

For Ms Rivera,

                                                                                                      = [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

                                                                                                      = 6:7

Since, both the ratios are same, fractions will be proportional.

Point M is drawn as the midpoint of BC.
Which of the following could be used as part of the proof that B2C? Select three that apply.
AB AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle
BAC because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
AABM 4 AACM because of the SAS triangle congruence criterion
BMCM because of the definition of a midpoint
AM A AM because of the Symmetric Property

Answers

Answer:

A. AB = AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle

B. ∠B = ∠C because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

D. BM = CM because of the definition of a midpoint

Step-by-step explanation:

A. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides, hence:

AB = AC because of the definition of an isosceles triangle. option A is correct.

D. Since Point M is drawn as the midpoint of BC, hence:

BM = CM because of the definition of a midpoint. Option D is correct.

E. Reflexive property of congruence states that an angle, line segment, or shape is always congruent to itself. hence AM ≈ AM because of reflexive property.

AM ≈ AM because of the Symmetric Property is wrong. Option E is wrong.

C) The side - side - side (SSS) triangle congruence theorem states that if all the sides of two triangles are equal, then they are congruent triangles.

Since BM = CM, AM = AM and AB = AC, hence ΔABM = ΔACM because of the SSS triangle congruence criterion

ΔABM = ΔACM because of the SAS triangle congruence criterion is wrong. Option C is wrong.

D. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. hence:

∠B = ∠C because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. Option B is correct

A. 12
B.24 18
C.34
D. 1824

Answers

Answer:

answer is 3 upon 4

Step-by-step explanation:

because if we reduce 18/24 to its lowest term so first we have to reduce 18 to and then 24 --- 18 is factor of 9x2 and 24 is factor of 12x2 then we have to cut 2 in both and there is answer 9 upon 12 still it is reducing so 3x3 is 9 and 3x4 is 12 so now we have to cut 3 in both the answer is 3 upon 4

Madea hires a caterer to provide food for her birthday. The caterer charges
her $225 for food and supplies and $25 per hour to serve during the party.
Madea ends up paying $350 total. How many hours did the caterer serve?
Use the equation 25x+225=350 to solve.

Answers

Answer:

The caterer served 5 hours. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

25x + 225 = 350

We must use inverse operations to get x

25x + 225 - 225 = 350 - 225

25x = 125

25x ÷ 25 = 125 ÷ 25

x = 5

the caterer served 5 hours.

Answers

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how many beats are in a minute by creating a proportion:

\frac{11}{5} = \frac{x}{60}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

5x = 660

x = 132

So, there are 132 beats in one minute.

This means the constant of proportionality is 132.

Students set up the experiment shown in their Biology class. After 24 hours, students noticed gas had accumulated in one of the inverted test tubes.
They measured the amount of gas.
What would be a best explanation for the gas accumulated in one of the inverted test tubes?

Answers

Answer: Light caused the eludes plants to photosynthesize, releasing O2 gas

Students replicated the experiment carried out in biology class, and after observing for 24 hours that gas had accumulated in one of the inverted test tubes, it is by light caused to elodea plant to photosynthesize and release oxygen, hence option D is correct.

What is the photosynthesis experiment?

There are numerous studies that show photosynthesis in action. For instance, when an elodea plant is exposed to sunlight, gases are emitted, collected in a tube, and tested to see if they contain oxygen.

This shows that the plant creates oxygen and glucose when exposed to sunlight.

Therefore students replicated the experiment carried out in biology class, and by the plant during the process of photosynthesis, hence option D is correct.
