<span>x(x−3)=54
x^2 - 3x - 54 = 0
(x - 9)(x +6) = 0
x - 9 = 0 so x= 9
x + 6 = 0 so x = -6
</span><span>
x = 9 (length)
so width = x - 3 = 9 -3 = 6

</span>answer
<span>length = 9

double check
Area = LxW = 9x6 = 54

Last summer, Betty earned $4200 by painting houses. She invested
Musya8 [376]

x*(1.035) + (4,200-x)*(1.045) = 4,374.00

1.035x + 4,389.00 -1.045x = 4,374.00

15.00  = .01x

x = 1,500  so x (1,500) invested at 3.5% and  

(4,200 - 1,500) (or 2,700) invested at 4.5%

In ΔOPQ, PQ = 17, QO = 9, and OP = 15. Which statement about the angles of ΔOPQ must be true?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

All angles are different.

Internal angles can be acute, obtuse, or right angle.

The smallest side is opposite to the smallest angle and the longer side is opposite to the larger angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In ΔOPQ, PQ = 17, QO = 9, and OP = 15.

To find - Which statement about the angles of ΔOPQ must be true?

Proof -

As given,

In ΔOPQ, PQ = 17, QO = 9, and OP = 15.

As all the sides of the given triangle is different, So the given triangle is a Scalene triangle.

Now,

We know that , In Scalene triangle -

All sides are different.

All angles are different.

Internal angles can be acute, obtuse, or right angle.

The smallest side is opposite to the smallest angle and the longer side is opposite to the larger angle.
