A farmer has a 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular field that he wants to increase by 15.5% by cultivating a strip of uniform width around the current field. How wide of a strip should he cultivate around the edge of his field to do this? The strip around the outside is _ feet wide

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) The strip should be 5ft wide

(b) The strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the rectangular field, L= 200 ft

width of the rectangular field, w = 100 ft

Area of the rectangular field, A = 200ft x 100ft = 20000 ft^2

let the width of the strip = x

The strip around the outside field = 2x

If the field is increased by 15.5%

New area of the field = 1.155 x 20000 = 23,100 ft^2

The increase in area of the field = 3,100 ft

3,100 = New area of field - old area of the field

3100 = (200 + 2x)(100 + 2x) - 20000

3100 = 20000 + 400x 200x + 4x^2 - 20000

3100 = 600x + 4x^2

Divide through by 4

775 = 150x + x^2

x^2 + 150x - 775 = 0

Factorize

(x + 155)(x-5) = 0

x = 5 ft

The strip should be 5ft wide.

The strip around the outside field = 2 x 5 ft = 10 ft

Thus, the strip around the outside field is 10ft wide.

Answers

Answer: x² - x - 12

Step-by-step explanation: When multiplying two binomials together, we can use the F.O.I.L. method.

First, Outer, Inner, Last.

We take the product of the first terms which is x² plus the product of the outer terms which is -4x plus the product of the inner terms which is 3x plus the product of the last terms which is -12.

So we have x² - 4x + 3x - 12.

Simplifying from here by combing the middle terms, we have x² - x - 12.

Pay very close attention to your positives and negatives as you F.O.I.L. because this is the area where most mistakes occur.

Answer:

x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle are 180 degrees

x+114+33 = 180

Combine like terms

x+147 = 180

Subtract 147 from each side

x+147-157 = 180-147

x = 33

Answer:

x=33

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the 3 angles inside the triangle should add to 180.

x+114+33=180

Combine like terms by adding 114 and 33

x+147=180

In order to solve this equation, we must get x isolated. Perform the inverse operation to both sides.

x+147=180

147 is being added on to x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 147 from both sides.

x+147-147=180-147

X=180-147

x=33

x is equal to 33 degrees.

(540 - π60 cm²) or 350cm³(351.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll have to subtract the volume of the rectangular prism with the cylinder.

We know that the prism's volume is V = s*s*h = 6*6*16 = 540 cm²

We also know the cylinder's volume: V = πr²h = π(4/2)²*15 = π*4*15 = π*60

Now the only step remaining is to subtract the volume of the prism with the cylinder: 540 - π*60 cm³

540 - π*60 cm³ is the full answer

350 is the approximate answer (rounded it down from 351.5 to 350cm³)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles = 25

P(yellow) =  yellow/ total =8/25

Keep

7 yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles = 24

P(red) = red/total =5/24

P(yellow then red) = 8/25 * 5/24 = 1/15

Then we have (red, yellow) =

P(red) = red/ total =5/25 = 1/5

Keep

8 yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and four red marbles = 24

P(yellow) = yellow/total =8/24 = 1/3

P(red, yellow) = 1/5*1/3 = 1/15

Add them together
