We are given that the area of a rectangle is 42 square meters. The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

A=wl

Where "w" is the width and "l" is the length. We are also told that the width is 5 meters longer than one-third of the length, this can be written mathematically as:

w=\frac{1}{3}l+5

Replacing in the formula for the area:

A=(\frac{1}{3}l+5)l

Now we use the distributive property:

A=\frac{1}{3}l^2+5l

Now we replace the value of the area:

42=\frac{1}{3}l^2+5l

Now we subtract 42 to both sides:

\frac{1}{3}l^2+5l-42=0

Now we can multiply both sides by 3:

l^2+15l-126=0

Now we factor this equation, we need two numbers which sum is 15 and their product is 126, we get:

(l+21)(l-6)=0

Now we set each factor to zero:

\begin{gathered} l+21=0 \\ l=-21 \end{gathered}\begin{gathered} l-6=0 \\ l=6 \end{gathered}

We take the positive value and therefore, the length of the rectangle is 6 meters.

To determine the width we use the relationship given by the problem:

w=\frac{1}{3}l+5

Replacing l = 6:

\begin{gathered} w=\frac{1}{3}(6)+5 \\ w=2+5 \\ w=7 \end{gathered}

The width is 7 meters.

Volume = 154 cm cubic
zheka24 [161]

Cylinder Volume

  • Level : JHS

V = hπr²

154 cm³ = 16 cm × 3.14 × r²

154 cm³ = 50.28 cm × r²

r² = 154 cm³ : 50.28 cm

r² = 3.0625 cm²

r = 1.75 cm

d = 2r

d = 2 × 1.75 cm

d = 3.5 cm

So, the diameter of the Cylinder is 3.5 cm

I am having trouble with this problem. I need to find the lengths of this right triangle. How would you do this?
podryga [215]
You labeled the triangle wrong sides 'a' and 'b' are supposed to be the sides that make the right angle.  the other side is called the hypotenuse which is the longest side which you should have labeled 'c'

so Pythagorean theorem says
a^2+b^2=c^2
so
(2x+1)^2+(11x+5)^2=(12x+1)^2
distribute
(4x^2+4x+1)+(121x^2+110x+25)=(144x^2+24x+1)
add like terms
125x^2+114x+26=144x^2+24x+1
subtract 125x^2 from both sides
114x+26=19x^2+24x+1
subtract 114x from both sides
26=19x^2-90x+1
subtract 26 from both sides
0=19x^2-90-25
factor
(x-5)(19x+5)=0
therefor x-5=0 and/or 19x+5=0
so
x-5=0 add 5 to both sides
x=5
19x+5=0
subtract 5 from both sides
19x=-5
divide both sides by 19
x=-5/19
since side legnths can't be negative, we can cross this solution out

so x=5
subtitute
1+2x
1+2(5)
1+10=11
side a=11

11x+5
11(5)+5
55+5=60
side b=60

12x+1
12(5)+1
60+1=60
side c=61
add them all up
side a+b+c=11+60+61=132=total legnth
