The dimensions of the prism can be 2x, 2x+3 and x+6.
We first factor out the GCF of the trinomial. The GCF of the coefficients is 2. Each term has an x in common as well, so the GCF is 2x.
Factoring out the 2x, we have
2x(2x²+15x+18).
To factor the remaining trinomial, we find factors of 2*18=36 that sum to 15. 12*3 = 36 and 12+3 = 15. We split up 15x into 12x and 3x:
2x(2x²+12x+3x+18)
Now we group together the first two terms in parentheses and the last two:
2x((2x²+12x)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the first group:
2x(2x(x+6)+(3x+18))
Factor out the GCF of the second group:
2x(2x(x+6)+3(x+6))
Factoring out what these have in common,
2x(x+6)(2x+3)
X=1
because you would add two to the other side and have 2x=2 divide by 2 and you would be left with x=1
Answer:
The shortest walking route is through the diagonal AC: 102.89m
Step-by-step explanation:
One can go from A to C using 2 paths:
- ADC or ABC
- using diagonal AC and half of that inner circle.
We need to compute the length of each path.
1) ADC=AD+DC=80+50=130m
2) AC²=AD²+DC²=80²+50⁵=6400+2500= 8900m²
AC=sqrt(8900)=94.34m.
Note that the diagonal AC has a missing segment, whose length is the diameter of the inner circle. So the straight line has a length of: AC-d=94.34-15=79.34m.
Perimeter of half the circle=pi×r= 3.14×(15/2)= 3.14×7.5=23.55m
So, if one is using the diagonal to go from A to C, then he has to walk:
79.34+23.55=102.89m
Comparing the two routes: 130m vs 102.89m, we notice that the route using the diagonal AC is shorter.
Funny I just answered the same exact question just a minute ago, but anyway the area formula is A=L*W, so that means that you need to multiply 2/5 times 1/3 to get the area. Once you do that it wants you to put it in the simplest form, which only means to reduce it down, unless it doesn't need too. Like if I got 10/20, the simplest form would be 1/2, because 10/20 is the same as 1/2, just reduced down. Apply the same logic to your problem and you will get your answer
