We have the following dimensions:
w=wide
w+70=length

We have a right triangle:
leg₁=w
leg₂=w+70
hypotenuse=130

Pythagoras theorem:
leg₁²+leg₂²=hypotenuse²
Then:

w²+(w+70)²=130²

We have to solve that equation:
w²+(w+70)²=130²
w²+w²+140w+4900=16900
2w²+140w+4900-16900=0
2w²+140w-12000=0
(2w²+140w-12000)/2=0/2
w²+70w-6000=0

w=(-70⁺₋√(4900+24000)) / 2
=(-70⁺₋170) / 2
We have two possible solutions:
Solution 1

w=(-70-170)/2=-120   (this solution is not possible because the result is negative and it have no sense in this problem).

Solution 2

w=(-70+170)/2=50  (this is the right solution)

w=50
w+70=120

ANSWER:  the length would be 120 u  (u=units of length ) and the wide would be 50 u.

Divide 28 cans of soda into two groups so the ratio is 3 to 4
kaheart [24]
First, you add the two ratio numbers to figure out what to divide your 28 cans of soda by.

3=4=7
Next, you divide this amount into your total amount of cans of soda.

28/7=4.

This means that for each one in the ratio, there is 4 cans.  So you multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.

3*4 = 12
4*4=16

So, your final answer is 12:16, or 12 cans of soda in one group, and 16 cans of soda in the other.

Given the following sets.
svet-max [94.6K]
It looks like the ∩ sign may be missing from the question. If you mean to find A∩C, called the intersection, you're looking for elements that are both in A and C.

{0, 2} qualifies.

sammy [17]
2(3+3) or 2(3)+6, so the answer is the third option. It’s just using the distributive property.
