Answer:

  • dimensions: 12 ft by 5 ft
  • area: 60 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the shorter dimension in feet. Then the longer one is x+7 and the Pythagorean theorem tells us the relation of these to the diagonal is ...

  x² + (x+7)² = 13²

  2x² +14x + 49 = 169 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x² +7x -60 = 0 . . . . . subtract 169 and divide by 2

  (x +12)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the equation

  x = -12 or +5 . . . . . . . only the positive value of x is useful here.

The short dimension is 5 ft, so the long dimension is 12 ft. The area is their product, 60 ft².

_____

<em>Comment on finding the area</em>

The quadratic equation above can be rearranged and factored as ...

  x(x +7) = 60

Since the dimensions of the garden are x and (x+7), this product is the garden's area. This equation tells us the area is 60. We don't actually have to find the dimensions.

Cameron is playing 9 holes of golf. He needs a total of at most 15 over par on the last four holes to beat his best golf score.
Svet_ta [14]

Cameron is successful at beating his record since he only shot 9 over par on the last 4 holes.

To find this, first turn each score into a number. Over pars are positive and under pars are negative. This gives us the following expression.

+5 - 1 + 6 - 1 = + 9

Therefore, he stayed below the + 15 that he needed.

Make d the subject of the formula h = d/3 + 2​
Thepotemich [5.8K]
First what you would have to do is distribute the reciprocal to the (d/3 + 2) and the d/3 is canceled out. You are left with h=6/d. When you put the h over 1 in a fraction, it stays the same. Like in trig, you switch the d and the h and you have d/1=6/h.

d=6/h
