Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the square root property to solve. Express answers in simplified radical form. Then find a decimal approximation to the nearest tenth. A rectangular park is 4 miles long and 2 miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?
How is the quadratic formula derived?
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. What's wrong with this argument? Suppose \(x\) and \(y\) represent two real numbers, where \(x>y .\) $$ \begin{aligned} 2 &>1 \\ 2(y-x) &>1(y-x) \\ 2 y-2 x &>y-x \\ y-2 x &>-x \\ y &>x \end{aligned} $$ The final inequality, \(y>x,\) is impossible because we were initially given \(x>y\)
A rectangular parking lot has a length that is 3 yards greater than the width. The area of the parking lot is 180 square yards. Find the length and the width.
In Exercises 122–133, use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A truck can be rented from Basic Rental for 50 dollar per day plus 0.20 dollar per mile. Continental charges 20 dollar per day plus 0.50 dollar per mile to rent the same truck. How many miles must be driven in a day to make the rental cost for Basic Rental a better deal than Continental's?
