Let L = lengthLet W = width Length is 5 yd less than twice the width ==> L = 2*W - 5 Area is 52 yd^2 ==> 52 = L*W Substitute the value for L from the 1st equation into the 2nd equation
52 = (2*W - 5) * W52 = 2*W^2 - 5*W0 = 2*W^2 - 5*W - 52 0 = (2W - 13)*(W + 4) 2W - 13 = 0 or W + 4 = 0W = 13/2 or W = -4 Width cannot be negative so discard W = -4 W = 13/2 ==> L = 2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 So the width is 13/2 yards and the length is 8 yards Check: 2*(13/2) - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 (13/2)*8 = 4*13 = 52 yd^2

A civil engineer is mapping the overhead clearance of his family’s property on a coordinate grid. The ground is represented by t

Rudik [331]

We are given
x1 = 10 ft
y1 = 14 ft
x2 = 13 ft
y2 = 9 ft

We are asked to find the distance between the base of the house to the closest treetop.

So,
d1 = √(10² + 14²) = 17.20
d2 √(13² + 9²) = 15.81

The distance is 15.81 ft to the closest treetop which is the tree 13 feet from the base of the house.
