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 | |
| 128 m2 | |
| 32 m2 | |
| 50 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

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(y2)2If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 2:1 and all 38,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 27,000 | |
| 25,000 | |
| 25,333 | |
| 37,500 |
A ratio of 2:1 means that there are 2 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 3 fans, 2 are home fans and \( \frac{2}{3} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
38,000 fans x \( \frac{2}{3} \) = \( \frac{76000}{3} \) = 25,333 fans.
What is 3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 2\( \sqrt{7} \)?
| 5\( \sqrt{49} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 42 |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 2\( \sqrt{7} \)
(3 x 2)\( \sqrt{7 \times 7} \)
6\( \sqrt{49} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
6\( \sqrt{49} \)
6\( \sqrt{7^2} \)
(6)(7)
42
