If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 30 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 72 m2 | |
| 50 m2 | |
| 32 m2 | |
| 98 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 30 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 30.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 30
w + h = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
w + h = 15
w = 15 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 15 - 2w
3w = 15
w = \( \frac{15}{3} \)
w = 5
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 5) = 10 and the area = h x w = 5 x 10 = 50 m2
How many hours does it take a car to travel 560 miles at an average speed of 70 miles per hour?
| 6 hours | |
| 9 hours | |
| 8 hours | |
| 7 hours |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for time:
time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{560mi}{70mph} \)
8 hours
Convert 8,445,000 to scientific notation.
| 8.445 x 10-6 | |
| 8.445 x 10-5 | |
| 8.445 x 106 | |
| 0.845 x 107 |
A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:
8,445,000 in scientific notation is 8.445 x 106
What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| 28\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{112} \) | |
| 32\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{7} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
8\( \sqrt{112} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
32\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
32\( \sqrt{7} \) - 4\( \sqrt{7} \)A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 5% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $18, how much money will he save?
| $0.90 | |
| $4.50 | |
| $5.40 | |
| $7.20 |
By buying two shirts, Bob will save $18 x \( \frac{5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$18 x 5}{100} \) = \( \frac{$90}{100} \) = $0.90 on the second shirt.
