I wrote in bold the steps you need to follow using PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Divison left to right, and Addition and Subtraction left to right).

Answer:

c) 54 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the  side of the square be x

perimeter = 4x

⇒ 36 = 4x

⇒ x = 36/4 = 9 feet

Each side is 9 feet

When we join the two squares, it becomes a rectangle with

b = 9

l = 9 + 9 = 18

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l + b)

perimeter = 2(18 + 9)

= 2(27)

= 54 feet

Answer:

Option (c) 54 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of one square is 36 feet.

Side of square = 36 / 4 = 9 feet

When combined together one side of each square merged.

So, the perimeter of rectangular shape will be;

(9+9+9) + (9+9+9)

27 + 27

54 feet.

A rotation is a geometric transformation that preserves the shape and size of a figure while changing its orientation in space. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and is used in various fields, including art, design, and engineering.

A rotation of a figure can be considered as a transformation that rotates the figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation. During the rotation, each point of the figure moves along an arc around the center, maintaining the same distance from the center.

To perform a rotation, we specify the angle of rotation and the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). The center of rotation remains fixed while the rest of the figure rotates around it. The resulting figure is congruent to the original figure, meaning they have the same shape and size but may be in different orientations.

Rotations are commonly described using positive angles for counterclockwise rotations and negative angles for clockwise rotations. The magnitude of the angle determines the amount of rotation. For example, a 90-degree rotation would result in the figure being turned a quarter turn counterclockwise.

In general, a rotation is a geometric transformation that keeps a figure's size and shape while reorienting it in space. It is a fundamental idea in geometry that is applied in a number of disciplines, including as engineering, design, and the arts.

Both Roger and Jeff will have run a distance of 1/3 mile when Jeff catches up to Roger after 2 minutes.

To solve this problem, we can determine the relative speeds of Roger and Jeff.

Since Roger runs one mile in 9 minutes, his speed is 1/9 miles per minute.

Similarly, Jeff runs one mile in 6 minutes, so his speed is 1/6 miles per minutes.

Let's assume that Jeff catches up to Roger after t minutes.

In that time, Roger would have run (1/9) [tex]\times[/tex] t miles, and Jeff would have run (1/6) [tex]\times[/tex] t miles.

Since Jeff gives Roger a 1-minute head start, we can express their distances covered as:

Distance covered by Roger = (1/9) [tex]\times[/tex] (t+1) miles

Distance covered by Jeff = (1/6) [tex]\times[/tex] t miles

For Jeff to catch up to Roger, their distances covered must be equal. So we can set up the equation:

(1/9) [tex]\times[/tex] (t+1) = (1/6) [tex]\times[/tex] t

To solve for t, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

6(t+1) = 9t

6t + 6 = 9t

6 = 9t - 6t

6 = 3t

t = 2

Therefore, it will take 2 minutes for Jeff to catch up to Roger.

Substituting t = 2 back into the equations, we can find the distances covered by each:

Distance covered by Roger = (1/9) [tex]\times[/tex] (2+1) = 1/3 mile

Distance covered by Jeff = (1/6) [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = 1/3 mile

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The system of inequalities that models this scenario can be represented as:

Let x be the number of servings of dry food.

Let y be the number of servings of wet food.

The cost constraint:

1x + 5y ≤ 15

The minimum number of dogs constraint:

x + y ≥ 4

2. The graph of the system of inequalities would be a shaded region in the coordinate plane.

To graph the inequality 1x + 5y ≤ 15, we can first graph the equation 1x + 5y = 15 (the corresponding boundary line) by finding two points on the line and connecting them. For example, when x = 0, y = 3, and when y = 0, x = 15. Plotting these points and drawing a line through them will represent the equation 1x + 5y = 15.

Next, we need to shade the region below the line because the inequality is less than or equal to (≤). This shaded region represents the solutions that satisfy the cost constraint.

To graph the inequality x + y ≥ 4, we can again find two points on the line x + y = 4 (the corresponding boundary line). For example, when x = 0, y = 4, and when y = 0, x = 4. Plotting these points and drawing a line through them will represent the equation x + y = 4.

Lastly, we shade the region above the line x + y = 4 because the inequality is greater than or equal to (≥). This shaded region represents the solutions that satisfy the minimum number of dogs constraint.

The solution set is the overlapping region where the shaded areas of both inequalities intersect. This region represents the combination of servings of dry food and wet food that Michelle can purchase within her budget ($15) to feed at least four dogs at the animal shelter.

The inequalities D + W > 4 and D + 5W ≤ 15 model the problem. The graph represents these inequalities, with the overlap of shaded regions showing possible food serving combinations.

Let's define D as the number of servings of dry food and W as the number of servings of wet food. The system of inequalities that models this scenario is:

The graph will show the solution sets to the inequalities. D and W must both be non-negative, hence the graphed area is in the first quadrant. The first inequality requires shading above a line that connects (0,4) and (4,0). This line is solid since numbers equal to 4 are included. The second inequality requires shading below a line that connects (0,3) and (15,0). This is also a solid line because Michelle can spend exactly $15. The overlapping region of the graph is the solution set, quantifying the combinations of dry and wet food servings that Michelle can buy.

One of the transformations undergone by Triangle 1 is a rotation, which involves turning the triangle around a fixed point while preserving its shape and size.

A rotation is a transformation that turns an object around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation. In the given results, if the triangle appears in a different orientation but retains its shape and size, it indicates a rotation.

During a rotation, each point of the triangle is moved along a circular path around the center of rotation. The distance from the center of rotation remains constant, and the angle between any two corresponding points on the original and rotated triangles is preserved. The direction of rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the given results.

To describe a rotation, we need to specify the angle of rotation and the direction. For example, "Triangle 1 underwent a counterclockwise rotation of 90 degrees" would indicate that the triangle was rotated by 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction.

To calculate the initial stress in the tie bar, we can use the formula:

Stress = Load/Area

The area of the tie bar can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = π * [tex](diameter/2)^2[/tex]

Plugging in the values, we get:

Area = π * [tex]10 mm^{2}[/tex] = π *[tex](5 mm)^2[/tex] = 78.54 [tex]mm^2[/tex]

Converting the area to square meters, we have:

Area = 78.54 [tex]mm^2[/tex]* (1 m^2 / 1,000,000 [tex]mm^2[/tex]) = 7.854 × 1[tex]0^-5 m^2[/tex]

Now we can calculate the initial stress:

Initial Stress = 100 kN / 7.854 ×[tex]10^-5 m^2[/tex] = 1.273 × [tex]10^9 N/m^2[/tex]To calculate the resultant stress when the temperature rises to 50°C, we need to consider the thermal expansion of the tie bar. The change in length can be calculated using the formula:

ΔL = α * L0 * ΔT

Where ΔL is the change in length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, L0 is the initial length, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

The induced force in the bar can be calculated using the formula:

Induced Force = Initial Stress * Area + E * α * ΔT * Area

Plugging in the values, we get:

Induced Force = (1.273 × 10^9 N[tex]m^2[/tex] * 7.854 × [tex]10^-5 m^2[/tex]) + (200 × [tex]10^9[/tex] N/[tex]m^2[/tex] * 14 × [tex]10^-6[/tex] /K * (50 - 15) K * 7.854 × [tex]10^-5 m^2[/tex])

By using the change of base formula: The solution to the equation log(base y) (X-2) = 5 is [tex]X = y^5 + 2.[/tex]

To solve the equation log(base y) (X-2) = 5 using the change of base formula, we can rewrite the equation as log(base b) (X-2) / log(base b) y = 5.

Using the change of base formula, we can choose any base for b.

Let's choose base 10 for simplicity.

So the equation becomes log(base 10) (X-2) / log(base 10) y = 5.

We know that log(base 10) (X-2) represents the logarithm of (X-2) to the base 10, and log(base 10) y represents the logarithm of y to the base 10.

Now, to solve for X, we can isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by log(base 10) y:

log(base 10) (X-2) = 5 [tex]\times[/tex] log(base 10) y.

This simplifies to:

log(base 10) (X-2) [tex]= log(base 10) y^5.[/tex]

Since the logarithms on both sides have the same base, we can remove the logarithm and equate the arguments:

The speed of Jake's initial trip is x = 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the return trip is x + 6 = 30 kilometers per hour.

Let's assume that Jake's speed during the initial trip is represented by "x" kilometers per hour.

On the return trip, he drives 6 kilometers per hour faster, so his speed can be represented as "x + 6" kilometers per hour.

To find the time taken for each trip, we can use the formula Time = Distance / Speed.

For the initial trip, the time taken is 120 kilometers divided by x kilometers per hour, which gives us 120/x hours.

On the return trip, the time taken is 120 kilometers divided by (x + 6) kilometers per hour, which gives us 120/(x + 6) hours.

According to the problem, the return trip takes 1 hour less than the initial trip. So we can set up the equation:

120/x - 1 = 120/(x + 6)

To solve this equation, we can multiply both sides by x(x + 6) to eliminate the denominators:

120(x + 6) - x(x + 6) = 120x

Simplifying this equation:

120x + 720 - x² - 6x = 120x

Combining like terms:

x² + 6x - 720 = 0

Now we can solve this quadratic equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula. By factoring, we find:

(x + 30)(x - 24) = 0

This gives us two potential solutions: x = -30 or x = 24.

Since speed cannot be negative, we discard the solution x = -30.

Therefore, the speed of Jake's initial trip is x = 24 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the return trip is x + 6 = 30 kilometers per hour.

So, Jake drives at a speed of 24 kilometers per hour on the initial trip and 30 kilometers per hour on the return trip.
