(x-1)^2=9 <=> x-1=3 <=> x=4
Answer:
a=76 b=83
Step-by-step explanation:
for a. we divide 6688(area) by 88 to find the width bc 88*w=6688
6688/88 is 76 so a=76
Since 312 is perimeter we have to subtract 73 twice and then divide that by 2 bc 73+73+L+L=312
(312-73-73)/2=83 so b=83
Step-by-step explanation:
Michael's Journey Time = 4 hours and 30 mins
=

Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Given Distance = 108km
Time = 4.5 hours
Speed =

There are 2 triangles that exist within this single triangle. It is an SSA triangle, so it is the case of the ambiguous triangle. Sounds scary. You have to drop an altitude and find out what the height of it is. You can use the sin45 = h/5 to find that the height is 3.5. The rule for this is if the height is smaller than b and b is smaller than c, you have 2 triangles. That is true here, so you have 2 triangles. Solving both of them involves the Law of Sines and the rules of supplementary angles...a whole 'nother type of pain in the butt.
