Answer:

The sides are 30 ft, 40 ft and 50 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the triangle are as follows x - 4 , x + 6 and 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse should be 2x - 18 . The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle.

Using Pythagoras theorem the length of the sides can be found.

a² + b² = c²

(x - 4)² + (x + 6)² = (2x - 18)²

(x - 4)(x - 4) + (x + 6)(x + 6) = (2x - 18)(2x - 18)

x²- 4x - 4x + 16 + x² + 6x + 6x + 36 = 4x² - 36x - 36x + 324

2x² - 8x + 12x + 16 + 36 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² + 4x + 52 = 4x² - 72x +  324

2x² - 4x² + 4x + 72x + 52 - 324 = 0

-2x² + 76x - 272 = 0

2x² - 76x + 272 = 0

divide through by 2

x² - 38x + 136 = 0

find the number you can multiply to give you 136 and add to give you - 38. The number are - 34 and - 4.

x² - 4x - 34x + 136 = 0

x(x - 4) - 34(x - 4) = 0

(x - 4)(x - 34 ) = 0

x = 4 or 34

we can only use 34 since using 4 will result to negative number.

x - 4  = 34 - 4 = 30 ft

x + 6 = 34 + 6 = 40 ft

2x - 18 = 68 - 18 = 50 ft

The diagram shows 3 identical circles inside a rectangle.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

11700 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with two equal, opposite and parallel sides. Each of the angles in a rectangle is 90°.

The horizontal distance of the rectangle = r + r + r + r = 4r

The vertical distance = r + h + r = 2r + h

Where h is the distance between the midpoint of the 2 up circles and the midpoint of the down circle.

Using Pythagoras:

 (2r)² = h² + r²

h² + r² = 4r²

h² = 3r²

h = √3r²

h = r√3

Vertical distance = 2r + h = 2r + r√3

Area of rectangle = vertical distance * horizontal distance

Area = 4r * (2r + r√3) = 8r² + 4r²√3 = 4r²(2 + √3)

Substituting:

Area = 4r²(2 + √3) = 4(28²)(2 + √3) = 11703.711 mm²

Area = 11700 mm² to 3 s.f
