Answer:
h=6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 1. The base of a rectangle is three feet longer than its height.
2.Are of the rectangle=54 square meters
Let us say the rectangle has height h and base(breadth) b.
Since, the base of the rectangle is three feet longer than the height, we have b=h+3.
Also, Area of the Rectangle= hb
therefore, 54=h(h+3)
54= h2+ 3h
h2+3h-54=0 (Subtract 54 from both the sides)
To find the value of h we have to solve the quadratic equation.
[We have the equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0, to factorise the equation-
Step1. Find two numbers such that their multiplication is equal to ac and their addition is equal to b.
Step2. Replace b with these numbers.
Step3. Simplify the equation]
So, h2+3h-54=0
h2+9h-6h-54=0
h(h+9)-6(h+9)=0
(h+9)(h-6)=0
Which gives-
h= -9 or h= 6
As h is the height of the rectangle, h can not be -9.
so h=6 feet
and b=h+3=9 feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 6 feet for the height and 9 feet for the base.
<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 72.
Let one integer be x , then since these are consecutive and odd so the other integer will be equal to x + 1.
Their product is equal to 72. So,
x * (x + 1) = 72
=> 
=>
is the required quadratic equation.
The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
sin40° = opposite side / hypotenuse
opposite side =AC
hypotenuse = AB-------> 10 in
so
sin 40=AC/AB---------> AC=AB*sin 40-------> AC=10*sin 40
the answer is
AC=10*sin 40
Answer:
you have to use the quadratic equation to find the zeros
