width = 7

length = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for the one letter that gets talked about the most

which is w or width

width = w

length = 3 + w

2 inch border means

width = w + 2

length = 3 + w + 2

area = length times width

area = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( 3 + w + 2 ) times (w + 2 )

108 = ( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 )

( w + 5 ) times (w + 2 ) = 108

w^2 + 7w +10 = 108

w^2 + 7w - 98 = 0

going to make w = x

x^2+7x-98=0

(x-7)(x+14)

x = 7

x = -14

w=7

w= -14

cant have a negative measurement so w=7 is used

width = w

length = 3 + w

width = 7

length = 3 + 7 = 10

Compare the given dimensions of four triangles. Which triangle is possible to construct? side lengths of 5 ft, 12 ft, and 13 ft
kobusy [5.1K]
(5,12,13) is a right triangle and can be constructed.
All the others do not satisfy the triangle inequality, i.e. the sum of two short sides must exceed the long side in order for the triangle to be constructed.
Examples:
2+11<15, so no
3+7<11, so no
4+8<15, so no
but 5+12>13  so yes, it can be constructed.

Simplify (11 + 5i)(11 - 51)
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

 (146 +  0i)

Step-by-step explanation:

(11+5i)(11-5i)

The formula is :

(a+bi) • (x+yi)  = ax+by•i^2+(ay+bx)i

and since  i^2 = -1  it can be written as :

ax - by + (ay + bx) i

( 11 +  5i) • ( 11 -  5i) =

 (146 +  0i)

hope this helped brainlest owo???
