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.

A jet flies from New York to Los Angeles , a distance of 2,450 miles, and then flies back. The speed from NY to LA was 140 mph faster than the speed from LA to NYIf the total time in the air was 12 hours, what was the jet's speed from NY to LA?

Answers

Answer:

Speed from NY to LA is 172 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the jet’s speed from NY to LA be x mph.The speed form NY to LA would be (x-140) mph

Mathematically, we know that distance = speed * time

The total speed will x + x -140 = 2x-140

Now;

12(2x-140) = 2450

24x - 1680 = 2450

24x = 2450 + 1680

24x = 4130

x = 4130/24

x = 172.1 which is approximately 172 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the two triangles are similar, and are in a 17:1 ration since 51/3 = 17

Now we can set up the equation

adding x to both sides we get

dividing by 18 we get

Now we plug x = 8 back in and get

An aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time at a certain speed.After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. Find the previous speed of the aeroplane.
this is from quadratic equations CBSE grade 10
please answer ASAP

Answers

Answer: U = 600 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an aeroplane covers a distance of 1500km in a certain time t at a certain speed U.

After increasing the speed by 100km/hr, that is, V = U + 100 it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time. That is t2 = t - 0.5.

From the first statement

Speed = distance/ time

Distance = speed × time

1500 = Ut

Make t the subject of the formula

t = 1500/U ..... (1)

From the second statement

Distance = speed × time

1500 = (U + 100) × ( t - 0.5 )

Open the bracket

1500 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t - 50

Collect the like terms

1550 = Ut - 0.5U + 100t .... (2)

Substitutes equation 1 into 2

1550 = 1500U/U - 0.5U + 100(1500/U)

1550 = 1500 - 0.5U + 150000/U

1550 - 1500 = (150000 - 0.5U^2)/U

Cross multiply

50U = 150000 - 0.5U^2

0.5U^2 + 50U - 150000 = 0

Divide all by 0.5

U^2 + 100U - 300000 = 0

Using completing the square method

U^2 + 100U = 300000

U^2 + 100U + 50^2 = 300000 + 50^2

(U + 50)^2 = 302500

U + 50 = sqrt(302500)

U + 50 = +/-(550)

U = 50 + 550 or 50 - 550

U = 600 or - 500

Since U is of the same direction, it is

positive. Therefore, the previous speed of the aeroplane is 600 m/s

Answer:

500km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Speed (km/hr) = Distance / Time

Where S = Speed

D = Distance

T = Time

S = D/T

From the question, the aeroplane covered a distance of 1500 km

S = 1500/ T

ST = 1500

Time taken( T ) = 1500/S ......... Equation 1

We are told from the question that speed was increases by 100km/hr, it covers the same distance in a time which is half an hour less than the previous time

This is expressed mathematically as:

The new speed =S + 100km/hr

The new Time taken = 1500/ S - 1/2....... Equation 2

Also since Time = Distance / Speed

The new Time taken also = 1500/ S + 100 ......... Equation 3

Step 1

We would simplify Equation 2:

Time = 1500/S - 1/2

Find the Lowest common multiple = 2

Time = (2 × 1500 - S )/ 2S

Time = 3000 - S / 2S ......... Equation 4

Step 2

Equate Equation 4 and 3 together since they are both equal to time taken

1500/ S + 100 = 3000 - S / 2S

We cross multiply

2S × 1500 = (S + 100) ( 3000 - S)

3000S = 3000S - S² + 300000 - 100S

3000S - 3000S + S² - 300000 + 100S = 0

S² + 100S - 300000 = 0

Step 3

We solve for S = Speed by using factorisation method.

S² + 100x - 300000 = 0

S² - 500S + 600S - 300000 = 0

(S² - 500S) + (600S - 300000) = 0

S(S - 500) + 600(S - 500) = 0

(S - 500) (S + 600) = 0

S - 500 = 0, S = 500

S + 600 = 0 , S = -600

Our answer cannot be in negative form, hence, the previous speed of the aeroplane = 500km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given and the formula

base area= 9cm × 4cm = 36

ht= 10cm

(1/3) × 36cm × 10cm = 120

Therefore, the volume of pyramid with base dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm and height 10 cm will be 120 cm³.

What is Pyramid?

A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle which is called a lateral face.

Given are the dimensions of the base of a rectangular pyramid as 9 cm by 4 cm. Length AE is equal to 10 cm.

The volume of a pyramid is given by -

V[P] = 1/3 x B[A] x height

where

B[A] is Base area.

Base area will be equal to Area of rectangle with dimensions  9 cm by 4 cm. Therefore, the base area will be - B[A] = 9 x 4 = 36 cm²

Now, the volume will be -

V[P] = 1/3 x 36 x 10

V[P] = 12 x 10

V[P] = 120 cm³

Therefore, the volume of pyramid with base dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm and height 10 cm will be 120 cm³.

Q1.work out the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon.
Q2.work out the size of one interior angle of a regular octagon.
Q3.work out the size of one exterior angle of a regular hexagon

Answers

Answer:

Question 1:

The sum of interior angles of a polygon can be found by the following formula:

(n-2) × 180

Where n is the no. of sides

A pentagon has 5 sides

So,

= (5-2) × 180

= (3) × 180

= 540 degrees

Question 2:

Since The sum of interior angles of a regular octagon is 1080 and the total interior angle are 8

So, Measure of interior angle = [tex]\frac{1080}{8}[/tex]

Measure of interior angle = 135 degrees

Question 3:

Since, one interior angle in a hexagon measures 120 degrees.

So,

The interior angle should be subtracted by 180 to get the exterior angle.

Exterior angle = 180-120

Exterior Angle = 60 degrees

What is area model?

In area model for multiplication a rectangle is used to represent multiplication between two quantities. Width and Length of the rectangle are assigned the numerical value of the two quantities being multiplied.

Solution

Let the number of skills be represented by the length of the rectangle in the figure.

Let the time spent(in hours), which is same for all skills, on each skill be represented by the width of the rectangle in the figure.

The area of the rectangle = length × width = 5 × t = 5t hours.

This area represents total time spent on five skills, which is 5/6 hours.

The smaller rectangles into which the whole rectangle is divided have area 1 × t = t hours. This represents time spent on one skill.

From the figure, such five smaller and equal rectangles constitutes the whole rectangle.

So, area of one smaller rectangle = Area of big rectangle / number of small rectangles = (5/6)/5 = 1/6 hours.

Since, this represents time spent on one skill. So, the required time is 1/6 hours.

She practice each skill for 1/6 of an hour.
