To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
</span> When you solve for bx, you have:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13
When you solve for b, you obtain:
</span><span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)
When yoo solve for x:
</span>2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)<span>
</span>
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
It could be a positive square root l like √10 ( the number not being a perfect square).
He would have obtained this value from the application of the Pythagoras theorem. For example the length and width of the rectangle might have been 3 and 1 foot respectively, so the diagonal would have length √(3^2 + 1^2) = √10.
He could give an estimate of the length to nearest hundredth using his calculator. This would be 3.16 feet.
