Answer:
2 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6 x-4 = -2
Add 4 to each side
5/6 x-4+4 = -2+4
5/6 x = 2
Multiply by 6/5 to isolate x
6/5 *5/6 x = 6/5 *2
x = 12/5
Changing this from an improper fraction
5 goes into 12 2 times with 2 left over
x = 2 2/5
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)
The best estimate for the diagonal of the rectangle is 3 ⇒ B
Step-by-step explanation:
In a rectangle:
- The length and the width are perpendicular
- The length of its diagonal =
(the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are the length and the width of the rectangle)
∵ The width of a rectangle = x
∵ The length of the rectangle = 2x
∵ The diagonal = 
- Substitute the length by 2x and the width by x
∴ The diagonal = 
∴ The diagonal = 
∴ The diagonal = 
∵ x = 1.33
- Substitute the value of x by 1.33 to find the diagonal
∴ The diagonal = 
∴ The diagonal = 2.973
∴ The diagonal ≅ 3
The best estimate for the diagonal of the rectangle is 3
