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.

If M/DFC= 40 and M CD= 55 the BG= <br> 25<br> 80<br> 135
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

GC and BD are 2 intersecting chords thus the measure of the angle formed is

∠DFC = 0.5( m arc CD + m arc BG ), that is

0.5(55 + BG) = 40 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

55 + BG = 80 ( subtract 55 from both sides )

BG = 25

In his​ motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing​ spot, a distance of 264 ​mi, in 6 hr.​ Re
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The values are   x =  46 miles /hr

                            y = 4 \  miles / hr

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The distance covered is  d =  264 miles

     The time taken is t_1 =  6 hours

     The time taken for the return trip is  t_2  =  5.5 \ hours

Generally during the trip  toward fishing spot , the velocity is mathematically represented as

     v_t  =  \frac{d}{t_1 } = x - y

=>  v_t  =  \frac{264}{6 } = x - y

=>    x - y  = 44 \cdots 1

Generally during the  return trip  , the velocity is mathematically represented as

      v_r  =  \frac{d}{t_2}  =  x+ y

=>   v_r  =  \frac{264}{5.5}  =  x+ y

=>   48 =  x+ y\cdots 2

add equation 1 and 2

       2x =  92

=>    x =  46 miles /hr

substituting this  into  equation 1

     46 - y  = 44 \cdots 1

=>   y = 4 \  miles / hr
