If x is the width, and the length is 3 more than twice the width,
the length : 2x+3

Area = length x width

(2x+3)x = 119
By expanding equation, 2 x^{2} +3x = 119
Thus, 2 x^{2} +3x-119=0 
By factorisation, 
(x-7)(2x+17)= 0
x=7 or x= -17/2 (rejected because width cannot be negative)

Thus, the width is 7 and the length is 2(7) +3 = 17

L = 3 + 2w

119 = w × ( 3 + 2w )
119 = 3w + 2w^2
2w^2 + 3w - 119 = 0
( w - 7 ) ( 2w + 11 ) = 0
w = 7
x = w
x = 7

What is the volume of the right prism?
Bumek [7]
Volume of a right prism = Area of the base * height

the base is the right triangle.
Area of a right  triangle = ab/2
a = 15 inches ; b = 8 inches

Area of a right triangle = (15in * 8in)/2 = 120 in² / 2 = 60 in²

V = B * h
V = 60 in² * 10 in 
V = 600 in³  Choice B.

What is the area of a sector in a circle of radius 8cm,if the angle between the radii is 30°
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

16.75 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area  \: of  \: sector  =  \frac{ \theta}{360 \degree}  \times \pi {r}^{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{30 \degree}{360 \degree}  \times 3.14 \times  {8}^{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{12}  \times 3.14 \times 64 \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 3.14 \times 16 \\  \\  =  \frac{1}{3}  \times 50.24 \\  \\  = 16.7466667 \\  \\Area  \: of  \: sector  = 16.75 \:  {cm}^{2}

Kobotan [32]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

so you will move constant to the right side and change the sign. 72x=223-7

then you will subtract the numbers 72x=223-7 and that will give you 72=216

then you will divide both sides by 72  and that will give you
