April typed a 5 page report in 50 mintues. Each page had 500 words at what rate is April typing

Amy types at a rate of 50 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are interested in calculating the rate at which April is typing.

From the question, we can deduce that she typed a 5 page report, with each page having a total of 500 words.

Now, if each page has 500 words, the total number of words in all of the pages will be 5 * 500 = 2,500 words

Now, from here, we can see that 2,500 words were typed in 50 minutes.

The number of words per minute will be ;

Total number of words/Time taken = 2500 words/50 minutes

That will give a value of 50 words per minute

answer is x<

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
