A = L * W
A = 320
L = W + 4

320 = W(W + 4)
320 = W^2 + 4W
W^2 + 4W = 320
W^2 + 4W + 4 = 320 + 4
(W + 2)^2 = 324
W + 2 = (+-) sqrt 324
W = -2 (+-) 18

W = -2 + 18 = 16 ft <== this is the width
W = -2 - 18 = -20....not this one because it is negative

L = W + 4
L = 16 + 4
L = 20 ft <=== this is the length

in summary...the width is 16 ft and the length is 20 ft

How many triangles and quadrilaterals altogether can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon?
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:  The correct option is

(E) 70.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the number of  triangles and quadrilaterals altogether that can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon.

To form a triangle, we need any 3 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of triangles that can be formed is

n_t=^7C_3=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3\times2\times1\times4!}=35.

Also, to form a quadrilateral, we need any 4 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of quadrilateral that can be formed is

n_q=^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!\times3\times2\times1}=35.

Therefore, the total number of triangles and quadrilaterals is

n=n_t+n_q=35+35=70.

Thus, option (E) is CORRECT.

Write the expression using a single exponent.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:  D.  7^11

Reason:

The rule we use is a^b*a^c = a^{b+c}

When multiplying exponentials of the same base, we add the exponents.

The exponents 5 and 6 add to 5+6 = 11

So,

7^5 \times 7^6 = 7^{5+6} = 7^{11}

The base stays the same the entire time.
