Answer:

12  and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x= length

If you draw a rectangle.  two sides would be the length x.  The other two sides would be (x-9).

(length)(width) = Area

(x)(x-9) = 36

x^2 - 9x = 36 Substitute in x and x-9 for the length and width

x^2 - 9x - 36 =0  Subtract 36 from both sides

(x-12)(x+3) = 0   We are looking for 2 number that add to -9 and mult. to -36

x-12=0 and x+3=0  Set both factors to 0 and solve

x = 12 and x =-3.  It does not make sense that a length could be -3 so we reject that answer.  If the length is 12, then the width is 3

You know that a rope is no more than 150 feet long. You need to cut the rope into 3 pieces.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< We know that the rope is 3 pieces long. To make this into an equation, let's just write x + y + z = 150.

Assuming "y" is our second piece, we can tell y = 2x, because it is two times the size of the first piece, which is "x". We also know "z" (our third piece): z = 30.

We can try inputting all the things we know now. x + (2x) + 30 = 150. From here, we can find that x = 40. Since y is our second piece, y = 2x, so 2 x (40) = 80. The second piece would be 80 feet long. >

Describe the steps to draw a line perpendicular to line segment AB through point C that is not on the segment.
poizon [28]

Answer:

First you can just flip the line on point C to make a 90 degree angle. That's the simple way.

Other way is to get the slope of AB let's say ex : -1/2

We need to get the slope of C to be a reversed reciprocal of -1/2. So, 2.

Basically I flipped -1/2 in to -2/1 then removed the negative sign for 2.

:)

Hope that makes sense to ya
