Lin lines the bottom of her first pan with aluminum foil. The area of the rectangular piece of foil 11 1 4 is square inches. Its length is 4 1 2 inches. What is the width of the foil? Explain your reasoning.

Length =

= 5/2 inches or 2 1/2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin lines the bottom of her first pan with aluminum foil. The area of the rectangular piece of foil 11 1 4 is square inches. Its length is 4 1 2 inches. What is the width of the foil? Explain your reasoning.

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Widths = Area/Length

The area of the rectangular piece of foil 11 1/4 is square inches.

Its length is 4 1 /2 inches.

Hence:

Length = 11 1/4 /4 1/2

= 45/4 ÷ 9/2

= 45/4 × 2/9

= 5/2 inches

= 2 1/2 inches

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
