Answer:

<u>Width = 7 inches</u>

<u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

  • length = 2x + 9
  • width = x

Equating to area :

  • (2x + 9)(x) = 161
  • 2x² + 9x = 161
  • 2x² + 9x - 161 = 0
  • 2x² - 14x + 23x - 161 = 0
  • 2x(x - 7) + 23(x - 7) = 0
  • x - 7 = 0
  • x = 7

Dimensions are :

  • <u>Width = 7 inches</u>
  • Length = 2(7) + 9
  • <u>Length = 23 inches</u>

Answer:

Length: 23 inches

Width: 7 inches

Explanation:

  • Width: w
  • Length: 2w + 9
<h3>Area of rectangle: Length × Width</h3>
  • (2w + 9) × (w) = 161
  • 2w² + 9w - 161 = 0
  • 2w² + 23w - 14w -161 = 0
  • w(2w + 23) -7(2w +23) = 0
  • w = 7, -11.5

As <u>length measure cannot be negative</u>. Width is +7 inches

Length: 2w + 9 = 2(7) + 9 = 14 + 9 = 23

find the area of a right angle triangle whose hypotenuse is 13 cm long and one of its legs is 12 cm long​
Lelu [443]

Answer:

30 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 13 cm

b = 12 cm

using Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2

--> c^2 = a^2 - b^2 = 13^2 - 12^2 = 169 - 144 = 25

--> c = √25 = 5

The area of that right triangle is:

S = b.c / 2 = 12 . 5 / 2 = 30 (cm^2)

Sam was given a bag of 100 red and blue marbles. He believes
Rashid [163]

Answer:

(D) There are probably more blue marbles than red marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 100 marbles in the bag.

In the experiment of 50 trials, Sam had the following outcome:

Blue=35

Red=15

Relative Frequency of Blue Marbles =35/50=0.7

Relative Frequency of Red Marbles =15/50=0.3

Since the relative frequency of blue marbles is greater than the relative frequency of red marbles, <u>there are probably more blue marbles than red marbles in the bag.</u>

The correct option is D.
