Sara is working on a Geometry problem in her Algebra class. The problem requires Sara to use the two quadrilaterals below to ans

wer a list of questions.
Part A: For what one value of x are the perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of its sides.)


Part B: For what one value of x are the areas of the quadrilaterals the same? (Hint: The area of a quadrilateral is the product of its base and height.)

Part A:

Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4

The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

For the perimeters to be the same

4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2

The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.



Part B:

The area of the square is given by

Area=(x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8

For the areas to be the same

x^2+8x+16=6x+8 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2+8x-6x+16-8=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x^2+2x+8=0 \\  \\ \Rightarrow x= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(8)}}{2}  \\  \\ = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{-28}}{2}  \\  \\ = \frac{-2\pm2i\sqrt{7}}{2} =-1\pm i\sqrt{7}

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

With water from one hose, a swimming pool can be filled in 9 hours. A second, larger hose used alone can fill the pool in 2 hour
Monica [59]

1/9 + 1/2 = 1/x

Let x = length of time it will take both hoses to work together

Multiply both sides by 18x.

2x + 9x = 18

10x = 18

x = 18/10

x = 9/5

x = 1.8 hours

In other words, if both hoses work together, the pool can be filled in 1 hour and 48 minutes.
