P=2(L+W) and P=34 so

2(L+W)=34

L+W=17 so we can say

L=17-W

A=LW using L from above

A=(17-W)W

A=17W-W^2 and A=30 so

30=17W-W^2

W^2-17W+30=0

W^2-2W-15W+30=0

W(W-2)-15(W-2)=0

(W-15)(W-2)=0

So the dimensions of the rectangle are 15 meters by 2 meters.

How do you find the property of 34 + 0 + 18 + 26 using Common Core math?

Flauer [41]

I assume you're looking for the sum.

I would use the null property to eliminate 0
34+0+18+26
=34+18+26
then use commutativity to rearrange
=34+26 + 18
Add 34+26=60
=60+18
=78

12. Carter has 3 statues of various sizes in his garden. Statue A is one foot taller than

enot [183]

Answer: B is 11 feet tall

A=x+1 since A is one more than B

C=x+1/2 since C is one half more than B

B=x since B is just B

A+B+C=34.5

x+1+x+x+1/2=34.5

3x+1.5=34.5

3x=33

x=11

B is 11 feet tall

What is the value of m in the figure below in this diagram abd bcd

oee [108]

$\triangle BCA\ \text{and}\ \triangle DCB\ \text{are similar (AAA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:}\\\\\dfrac{BC}{CD}=\dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\\\text{We have}\\\\BC=m\\CD=7\\AC=7+11=18\\\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\\dfrac{m}{7}=\dfrac{18}{m}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\m^2=(7)(18)\\\\m^2=126\to\boxed{m=\sqrt{126}}\to\boxed{A.}$
