Answer:
b. PQ
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
Would it be 2 because it is the smallest all those can go into and also the smallest shown
First we need to assume that the sum of the angles is also 180°. if one is less than 90°, the other will be more. we can do this because in a plane 4-sided polygon the sum of the inner angles will always be 360°, and we already know the two angles on the right side
so we can say that:
3x + 20 + x = 180
Since we got only one variable in this equation, we can already solve for x.
4x + 20 = 180
4x = 160
x = 40
the lower left angle is just 40°
the upper left is three times that plus 20, so it's 160°
hope this helps you to get the method
