The dimensions such as length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9 will produce an enclosed area of 288ft.

<h3>What is the dimension of length and width?</h3>

We know that,

P = l + 2w

50 = l + 2w

50 - 2w = l

A = l x w

288 = (50 - 2w)w

288 = 50w -2w²

2w² - 50w + 288

By dividing throughout by 2

w² - 25w + 144

This is in quadratic equation form.

By applying quadratic formula,

w = (-(-25) ± \sqrt{(-25)^{2}-4*1*144) / 2

w = (-(-25) ± 7)/2

w1 =  (-(-25) + 7)/2

w1 = (25 + 7) / 2

w1 = 16

w2 =  (-(-25) - 7)/2

w2 = (25 - 7) / 2

w2 = 9

By substituting the values in eq1,

A = l x w

if w = 16

288 = l x 16

l = 288/16

l = 18

if w = 9

288 = l x 9

l = 288/9

l = 32

The dimensions will be length is 18 and width is 16 or length is 32 and width is 9.

What is the product?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

=\begin{pmatrix}-5&6\\ 1&-4\end{pmatrix}

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{pmatrix}-3&4\\2&-5\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}3&-2\\ 1&0\end{pmatrix}

Multiply the row of the first matrix to the column of the second matrix

\begin{pmatrix}-3&4\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}3\\ 1\end{pmatrix}=\left(-3\right)\cdot \:3+4\cdot \:1

\begin{pmatrix}-3&4\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}-2\\ 0\end{pmatrix}=\left(-3\right)\left(-2\right)+4\cdot \:0

\begin{pmatrix}2&-5\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}3\\ 1\end{pmatrix}=2\cdot \:3+\left(-5\right)\cdot \:1\

\begin{pmatrix}2&-5\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}-2\\ 0\end{pmatrix}=2\left(-2\right)+\left(-5\right)\cdot \:0\

=\begin{pmatrix}\left(-3\right)\cdot \:3+4\cdot \:1&\left(-3\right)\left(-2\right)+4\cdot \:0\\ 2\cdot \:3+\left(-5\right)\cdot \:1&2\left(-2\right)+\left(-5\right)\cdot \:0\end{pmatrix}

simplifying them we get

=\begin{pmatrix}-5&6\\ 1&-4\end{pmatrix}
