The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)

w = width

l = length

In this problem,

The diagonal = 20 in

w = x

l = 2x + 8

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)

Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt

20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)

Now, let's square both sides.

400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64

Subtract 400 from both sides.

0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336

Factor

0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)

Set both terms equal to zero and solve.

x + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x = -12

5x - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides.

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 28/5

The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5

Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.

Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5

In conclusion,

Length = 96/5 inches

Width = 28/5

I need help solving this
Kruka [31]

Answer: y = -x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

      A slope-intercept equation is in the form y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em> where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the <em>y</em>-intercept. Since we are given the slope, we will plug it in with the point they gave us, and solve for <em>b</em>.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

(1) = (-1)(4) + <em>b</em>

1 = -4 + b

5 = b

      Lastly, we will write our equation by substituting <em>m</em> with -1 and <em>b</em> with 5.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y = -1x + 5 or y = -x + 5

Marjorie has a square tabletop whose area is 36 square feet. What is the tabletop’s perimeter?
mafiozo [28]
24. Since the area of a square is 36, it's best to figure out what the factors of 36 are.

The square root of 36 is going to be 6 so both factors are going to be six.

You don't have to worry about the side lengths being different because it's a square; therefore, the sides can't be uneven like a rectangle characteristically would.
