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

I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASEEEE!!!!!
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse² = base² + altitude²

5)  x²  = 12² + 6²

         = 144 + 36

  x²  = 180

x = √180

x = 13.42 ft

6) 25² = x² + 19²

625 = x² + 361

625 - 361 = x²

x² = 264

x = √264

x = 16.25 m

7)  x² = 7² + 576

        = 49 + 576

        = 625

x = √625

x = 25 in

8)  2.5² = 2²+ x²

6.25 = 4 + x²

6.25 - 4 = x²

x² = 2.25

x = √2.25

x = 1.5 yd
