Step-by-step explanation:

length = width + 4

length×width = 77

using the first in the second equation

(width + 4)×width = 77

width² + 4width = 77

now, what square or squaring factors can create this ?

we are looking for (width + a)(width + b).

we know, this is

width² + (a+b)width + ab

so, what a, b can create 4 (the factor in our actual equation) ?

1, 3 and 2, 2, if we are only looking at whole numbers.

and which of the possibilities can we use to turn 77 into a square number ?

81 is only 4 away ...

2+2 = 4.

aha !

so, we can actually say our equation is

width² + 4width + 4 = 77 + 4

and then

(width + 2)² = 81

width + 2 = 9

width = 7 m

length = width + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 m

What is the measure of angle F in degrees when H is 127degrees and G is 33.5 degrees?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a key factors in triangles, it must add up to 180 degrees.

You have three angles in a triangle ABC,

A = 127

B = 33.5

C = ?

In this case you would add the two together (160.5) and subtract from 180 giving you the angle C = 19.5

CHECK:

Add 127+33.5+19.5 = 180! Yes!
