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.

Find the word or phrases that best complete the sentence intersecting planes ___ intersect in exactly one point
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

never

Step-by-step explanation:

Intersecting planes are planes that intersect along a given line.

To explain this better, consider the following definitions:

i. A point: This is denoted by a dot and it is a location marked on a space or a plane.

ii. A line: This is the distance between two points. It is one-dimensional.

iii. A plane: This is a two-dimensional, flat surface with no thickness formed by points and extends infinitely.

Therefore, since intersecting planes intersect along a line, it is not possible that they intersect in exactly one point given that a line is the distance between points.

What does it mean to state the domain and range of a relation? Please answer, I am confused and it is due tomorrow. 30 points wi
Anastaziya [24]
The domain is all of the x values in a set and the range is all of the y-values in a set.
If you have a bunch of points such as (3,6), (7,2), (1,5) the domain would be stated as D={3, 7, 1} and the range would be stated as R={6,2,5} If you have a line, then the domain and range would be set up differently. For example, if you have a line with end points at (-3,2) and (5,8) then the domain would be D=(-3,5) and the range would be R=(2,8)
