Answer:

The dimensions should the rug​ have: length = 25 feet and width of 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of the room is 20 ft wide and 31 ft long

Area of rug purchased by Cynthia Besch = A=350 ft^2

Suppose she leave strip of floor which is x ft thick.

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft

Area of the rug,A = l × w

350 ft^2= (31-x) ft \times (20-x) ft

350=620-51x+x^2

x^2-51x+270=0

x^2-45x-6x+270=0

x(x-45)-6(x-45)=0

(x-45)(x-6)=0

x = 45 , 6

x = 6 (accept), x= 45 ,(reject, larger than length of the room )

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft = 31 - 6 ft = 25 ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft = 20 - 6 ft = 14 ft

20*31=620
620/2=310
20/2=10
31/2=15.5
The dimensions should be  10*15.5

Triangle ABC is a right triangle. The sides measure AB = 3 and BC = 4. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find CA. A. CA = 25 B. CA
Vesna [10]

Answer:

  CA = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides are 3 and 4, we recognize this as a 3:4:5 right triangle, with CA = 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem confirms this:

  CA² = AB² +BC²

  CA² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

  CA = √25

  CA = 5

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
alexandr1967 [171]

The new equation after the expression equivalent to x from the first equation is substituted into the second equation is: 2(-4y-9)+5y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve the initial steps for substitution method for finding the correct answer

Given equations are:

x+4y = -9\ \  \ \ Eqn1\\2x+5y=-6\ \ \ Eqn2

From equation one

x+4y = -9\\x+4y-4y = -9-4y\\x = -4y-9

Putting x = -4y-9 in equation 2

2(-4y-9)+5y=-6

Hence,

The new equation after the expression equivalent to x from the first equation is substituted into the second equation is: 2(-4y-9)+5y=-6
