Answer:
The length is 7 m
The width is 10 m
Step-by-step explanation:
length = x
width = 2x - 4
length * width = area
It is given that the area is 70
From there
x * (2x - 4) = 70
- 4x = 70
- 4x - 70 = 0
- 2x - 35 = 0
Now we have a quadratic equation, which is a + bx + c = 0, where a
0
In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35
Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac
D = - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0
This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x
Their formulas are and
=
= -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)
=
= 7 > 0 (this one is right)
Calculating the dimensions
length = x = 7 (m)
width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)
Answer:
D.) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Pythagorean theorem because this is a right triangle:
a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle (since it is opposite the biggest angle). The two legs squared have to add up to the hypotenuse squared.
Fill in values:
Simplify exponents:
Isolate the variable. Subtract 225 from both sides:
Find the square root of both sides:
The missing leg length is 8.
