(9+w)w=252 or w(w+9)=252.
The quadratic equation applies: w²+9w-252=0=(w+21)(w-12), so w=12, because a negative zero is meaningless.
So the dimensions are width=12 in and length=21 in.
The aides of a right triangle will always satisfy the Pythagorean relationship ...
a² + b²= c²
We can take each of these and try it out:
(1) ... 10² + 24² = 100 + 576 = 676
√676 = <em>26 Yes</em>.
(2) ... 12² + 18² = 144 + 324 = 468
√468 = 21.6, not 20. <em>No.</em>
(3) ... 15² + 26² = 225 + 676 = 901
√901 = 30.017 Awfully close. As an engineer, I'll buy this one. <em>Yes.</em>
(4) ... 40² + 50² = 1,600 + 2,500 = 4,100
√4,100 = 64.03, not 80.<em> No.</em>
The second answer is correct.

The wind is 40 mph
What does find the speed of the wind in still air mean? The wind is not still air!

470-40=430
390+40=430
The plane in still air goes 430 mph

We are given with the combination ratio of ostrich eggs and duck eggs to produce a scramble and equivalently another ratio to make one. In this case, the algebraic expression would be:
2 + 14 x = 5
14x = 3
x = 3/14
The ratio thus of duck egg to ostrich egg is 3 duck eggs/14 ostrich eggs
0.21 duck eggs per ostrich egg
