Answer:

Length = 16 m , width = 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Length of the rectangle be L meters.

Now, Width of the rectangle is (L-6) m.

Perimeter of the Rectangle = 52 m

Now, we know that

Perimeter of the Rectangle =  2(L+W)

⇒ 2(L+W) =  52 m

or, 2(L + (L-6)) = 52 m

Simplifying, we get 2L + 2L -12 = 52

or, 4L = 64

or, L = 16 m

So, width = L- 6 = (16-6) m = 10 m

So, length = 16 m

and width = 10 m

The area of the rectangular base is the amount of space on the rectangular base

The area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

<h3>How to determine the area of the rectangular base?</h3>

The question is incomplete; as the diagram is not given.

So, I will apply the concept of similar shapes to determine the area of the rectangular base

To determine the area of the rectangular base, we make use of the following equivalent ratio:

Ratio = Height : Area

This gives

3 : 36 = 5 : Area

Express as fraction

36/3 = Area/5

Evaluate the quotient

12 = Area/5

Multiply both sides by 5

Area = 60

Hence, the area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

If x2 = 30, what is the value of x?
nataly862011 [7]

Subtract 30, then factor the equation.

... x² = 30

... x² - 30 = 0

... (x -√30)(x +√30) = 0

By the zero product rule, the solutions are values of x that make a factor be zero.

... x - √30 = 0 . . . . the first factor is zero

... x = √30

... x + √30 = 0 . . . . the second factor is zero

... x = -√30

The solutions are . . .

... x = ±√30 . . . . . matches your 3rd choice
