Answer:

The diagonal of the rectangle is approximately 42.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the following formula:

area = width*length

In this case the width = 2*length, therefore we have:

area = 2*length²

722 = 2*length²

2*length² = 722

length² = 361

length = sqrt(361) = 19 inches

width = 2*length = 2*19 = 38 inches

The diagonal forms a right triangle with the sides of the rectangle, where it is the hypotenuse. Therefore we can use Pytagora's theorem:

diagonal = sqrt(length² + width²)

diagonal = sqrt(19² + 38²) = 42.485 inches

The diagonal of the rectangle is approximately 42.5 inches.

Answer:

42.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = 2l

A = 722

A = l*w

722 = l * 2l

722 = 2l^2

Divide each side by 2

361 = l^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(361) = l

w = 2 * sqrt(361)

We want to find the diagonal so we can use the pythagorean theorem

a^2+ b^2 = c^2 where c is the length of the diagonal

l^2 + w^2 = c^2

(sqrt(361)) ^2 + (2 sqrt(361))^2 = c^2

361+1444 = c^2

1805 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(1805) = sqrt(c^2)

42.48529 = c

To the nearest tenth

42.5 =c

Subtract and simplify 10 - 5 1/8
asambeis [7]
10 - 5 1/8

Convert 5 1/8 into an improper fraction.

We do this by multiplying the denominator to the whole number and adding it to the numerator, and wee keep the denominator.

8 * 5 = 40 + 1 = 41/8

10 - 41/8

Convert 10 to a denominator of 8:

10 * 8 = 80
1 * 8 = 8

80/8 = 41/8

Subtract the numerators together and keep the denominator:

39/8

Convert to a mixed number:

PLEASE HELP!!!
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

h=\dfrac{10\sqrt{3}}{2}=5\sqrt{3}\ cm.

JP=5\sqrt{3}\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Connecting points O and E and points O and J, we get triangle EOJ. This triangle is equilateral triangle, because OJ=OE=JE=r=10 cm.

Since EP⊥IJ, then segment JP is the height of the triangle EOJ.

The height of the equilateral triangle can be found using formula

h=\dfrac{a\sqrt{3}}{2},

where a is the side length.

So,

h=\dfrac{10\sqrt{3}}{2}=5\sqrt{3}\ cm.

Therefore JP is 5√3 cm
