Answer:

the two lengths= 194 each side

teh two widths= 49 on each side

194+194+49+49= 486

Step-by-step explanation:

486= 2l+2w

l=4w-2

486-2w=2l -divide that by 2

243-w=l

243-w=4w-2

245=5w -divide that by 5

49=w

l=4(49)-2

l=194

w=49

Rewrite the function by completing the square f(x)=x^2-4x-26

leonid [27]

Answer:

(x - 2)² - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 4x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 2)x + 4 - 4 - 26 = (x - 2)² - 30

MVUT =175, mVUJ=17x-3, and mJUT=17x+8. Find x

kotykmax [81]

The diagram of the three angles is shown below with point U as the point where all three lines meet.

Angles property: Angles around a point add up to 360°

We set up an equation

$175+17x-3+17x+8=360$
$180+34x=360$
$34x=360-180$
$34x=180$
$x= \frac{180}{34}= \frac{90}{17}$
