I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

Please help! An archway will be constructed over a walkway. A piece of wood will need to be curved to match a parabola. Explain
Eduardwww [97]

draw a perpendicular line from the directrix passing through the focus, this will be the line of symmetry. The vertex(h, k) will be located on the line half way between the focus and directrix. The distance from the focus to the vertex is called the focal length, call it a. The then equation is (x - h)^2 = 4a(y - k) the equation can be manipulated to y = 1/4a(x - h)^2 + k hope it helps

netineya [11]

Total balls: 6 + 4 + 3 = 13

First pick green = total green / total balls = 4/13


adter picking the first ball there are 12 balls left.

Picking red = total red/ total balls left = 6/12 = 1/2


probability of picking both = 4/13 x 1/2 = 4/26 = 2/13


answer: 2/13

Please solve quickly
dem82 [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to find the height

V = L×W×H

the volume your given is 880mm³

length is 22mm

width is 8mm

height is unknown

furthermore

V=L×W×H

880mm³= 22mm×8mm×H

880mm³= 176mm²×H

880mm³/176mm²=176mm²/176mm²×H

5mm=H

H=5mm

<h3>Surface Area= S.A</h3>

therefore S.A=2(L×W+ W×H +L×H)

=2(22mm×8mm+8mm×5mm+22mm×5mm)

=2(176mm²+40mm²+ 110mm²)

=352mm²+80mm²+220mm²

=652mm²
