The value of x that is the length from the edge of the screen to the end of the wall is equal 3. This is derived from an equation which serves as a function of the Area. See the solution below.

<h3>

What is the calculation for the solution above?
</h3>

Recall that the area of the entire wall is 40m².

(10-2x) (16- 2x) = 40

Expanding the brackets, we have

160-20x-32x + 4x² = 40
4x² - 52x + 120 = 0
x² - 13x +30 = 0

Using the quadratic equation

x = (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

Where a = 1
b  = 13
c = 30

x = (13 ± 7)/2

Thus x = 10; or x = 3.

x cannot be the answer because it invalidates 16-x<0;

Hence, the correct answer is x = 3

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is t = 1.3 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation    h(t) = -4.9t² + v₀t + h₀

v₀ = 0 m/s

h₀ = 8 m

t = ?

h = 0 m

Process

1.- Substitute the values in the formula

                  0 = -4.9t² + 0t + 8

2.- Simplification

                  0 = -4.9t² + 8

3.- Solve for t

                 4.9t² = 8

                      t² = 8/4.9

                      t² = 1.63

4.- Result

                      t = 1.27 ≈ 1.3 s

Find the value of x such that the area of a triangle whose vertices have coordinates (6, 5), (8, 2) and (x, 11) is 15 square uni
Serjik [45]

Answer:

x =12\ or\ -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (6,5)

(x_2,y_2) = (8,2)

(x_3,y_3) = (x,11)

Area = 15

Required

Find x

The area is calculated as thus:

Area = \frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|

Substitute values

15 = \frac{1}{2}|6*(2 - 11) + 8*(11 - 5) + x(5 - 2)|

15 = \frac{1}{2}|6*(-9) + 8*(6) + x(3)|

15 = \frac{1}{2}|-54 + 48 + 3x|

15 = \frac{1}{2}|-6 + 3x|

Multiply through by 2

2 * 15 = \frac{1}{2}|-6 + 3x| * 2

30 = |-6 + 3x|

Remove absolute sign

30 = -6 + 3x\ or\ -30 = -6 + 3x

Add 6 to both sides

36 = 3x\ or\ -24 =  3x

Divide by 3

12 = x\ or\ -8 = x

x =12\ or\ -8

<em>So, the coordinates are (-8, 11) or (12,11)</em>
