Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width = 300 ft²

length = width + 5

(width + 5) × width = 300

width² + 5×width = 300

width² + 5×width - 300 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

width = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 5

c = -300

width = (-5 ± sqrt(5² - 4×1×-300))/(2×1) =

= (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 1200))/2 =

= (-5 ± sqrt(1225))/2 = (-5 ± 35)/2

width1 = (-5 + 35)/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft

width2 = (-5 - 35)/2 = -40/2 = -20 ft

negative lengths for an actual object don't make sense, so width = 15 ft is our solution.

length = width + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 ft

Answer:

width=x

length=5x

area= 300ft2

area=lxb

300=5x(x)

300=5x^2

x^2=60

x=7.74

7.74(5)=38.7

dimensions are 38.7ft by 7.74 ft

Find the surface area. round to the nearest hundredth when necessary.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The surface area of the cuboid is 648 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

What we have here is cuboidal in outlook

By using the formula for the surface area of a cuboid, we can get the surface area of the shape

mathematically, we have the surface area of a cuboid as follows;

2(lb + lh + bh)

where l is the length, b is the breadth (width) and h is the height

We can have the length as 9 m, the width as 9 m and the height as 13.5 m

Substituting these values, we have the surface area of the cuboid as;

A = 2(9(9) + 9(13.5) + 9(13.5))

A = 2(81 + 243)

A= 2(324)

A = 648 m^2

jeyben [28]

1st term = -10

2nd term = -6

3rd term = -2

4th term = 2

5th term = 6

6th term = 10

7th term = 14


The reason how I got 14 for the 7th term is because, i added 4 to each term.


Hope this helps!
