The length of the rectangle is 14 feet and the width of the rectangle is 9 feet.

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than the width. The area is 126 square feet.

We need to find the length and width of the rectangle.

<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the rectangle's length by its width.

Let the width of the rectangle be x, then the length of the rectangle be x+5.

We know that the area of the rectangle = Length×Width

Now, the area of the rectangle = (x+5)×x=126 square feet.

⇒x^{2}+5x-126=0

⇒x^{2}+14x-9x-126=0

⇒x(x+14)-9(x+14)=0

⇒x=-14, x=9.

Since length cannot be a negative integer.

So, Width=9 feet and Length=9+5=14 feet.

Hence, the length of the rectangle is 14 feet and the width of the rectangle is 9 feet.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

45.27feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the balloon (in feet) represented by the equation h=−16t2+28.7t+32.4, where t is the time (in seconds)

Note that the velocity of the balloon at maximum height is zero, hence;

v = dh/dt =0

-32t+28.7 = 0

-32t = -28.7

t = 28.7/32

t = 0.897secs

Get the maximum height

Recall that h=−16t²+28.7t+32.4

h = -16(0.897)²+28.7(0.897)+32.4

h= -12.87+25.74+32.4

h = 45.27feet

Hence the maximum height reached is 45.27feet

What number must be added to 14,056 to result in the sum of 38,773
Vlada [557]
24,717.
What you have to do is subtract 38,773-14,056 and then the answer would be 24,717. So all together 24,717 must be added to result in the sum of 38,773.
14,056+24,717=38,773.
