Length = Width+6

Area = W * L

Area = W * (W+6)

Multiply it out

Area = W^2 + 6W

Area=72

72 = W^2 + 6W

subtract 72 from both sides

0 = W^2 + 6W - 72

12 * 6 = 72

12 - 6 = 6

Factor it

0 = (W-6)(W+12)

W = 6 and W = -12

Width must be 6 cm because Width can't be negative

L = W+6

L = 6 + 6

L = 12 cm

Andre notices that he is a little taller than Lin but is shorter than their math teacher, who is 164 centimeters tall. Write two

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Andre's height: y < x < 164

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first of all convert each of the statements to mathematical inequalities, before we combine them.

Let Andre's height be = x

Lin's height be = y

The maths teacher's height = 164

Andre is a little taller than Lin:

x > y

Andre is shorter than their maths teacher, who is 164 centimetres

x<164

Combining the two inequalities, we have Andre's height as

y < x < 164

This means that Lin is shorter than Andre who is in turn shorter than the Maths Teacher.

The correct scientific notation for the number 500.0 is

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct scientific notation for the number 500.0 is $500=5.0\times10^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

While writing a large number in scientific notation we do below mentioned two things.

We take any number between 1 and 10
Then we multiply this number with an exponent of 10.

Hence, any number in scientific notation is in the form $a\times10^b$

Here a is any number between 1 and 10.

b is exponent of 10.

Now, writing 500 in scientific notation, we take a = 5

Hence, we have to take b = 2, since 5 multiplied by 100 equas 500.

Thus, we have

$500=5.0\times10^2$
