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 product of the monomial and the polynomial. 4a^2b^3*(9a^4b^2-4a^2+3)
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4a² b³ * (9a⁴b² - 4a² + 3) = 4a²b³ * 9a⁴b² - 4a²b³*4a² + 4a²b³*3

                                        = 36a²⁺⁴ b³⁺²  -16a²⁺²b³ + 12a²b³

                                         = 36a⁶b⁵ - 16a⁴b³ + 12a²b³
