A piece of cloth is folded into a square with a side length measuring x inches. When it is unfolded, it has an area of x2 + 27x

+ 162 square inches.
Please answer ..
Which could be the dimensions of the rectangular piece of cloth when it is unfolded? Remember, the area of a rectangle can be determined using the formula A = lw.

length = (x + 9) inches and width = (x + 3) inches
length = (x − 3) inches and width = (x − 9) inches
length = (x + 18) inches and width = (x + 9) inches
length = (x − 9) inches and width = (x − 18) inches

A piece of cloth is folded into a square with a side length measuring x inches. When it is unfolded, it has an area of x2 + 27x + 162 square inches. Since the area for square is x times x then equate the given equation to the area fomula.
(x2 + 27x + 162) = 0(x + 9) (x + 18) = 0The dimensions are 9 and 18

Answer:

C. Length is (x+18) inches and width is (x+9) inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the side of the cloth is 'x' inches.

As, the area of the cloth is x^{2}+27x+162.

Equating the polynomial by 0, we will find the roots of the equation.

i.e. x^{2}+27x+162=0

Solution of the quadratic equation is given by,

x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{27^{2}-4\times 1\times 162}}{2\times 1}

i.e. x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{729-648}}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{81}}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-27+9}{2} and x=\frac{-27-9}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-18}{2} and x=\frac{-36}{2}

i.e. x= -9 and x= -18

As, the area of rectangle is L × W.

So, we have the area of the cloth is (x+9)(x+18).

Thus, the length is (x+18) inches and width is (x+9) inches.

-12x + 18y = 21<br>(6x -9 = -9​
Leokris [45]

Answer:

x = 0 , y = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x - 9 = -9

Add 9 to both sides:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

6 x = 0

Divide both sides by 6:

{18 y - 12 x = 21

x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the first equation:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{18 y = 21

x = 0

Divide both sides by 18:

{y = 7/6

x = 0

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 0 , y = 7/6

The odds of winning a rifle are 1:9 the probability of winning a carnival game is 0.15 does the raffle or the carnival game give
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Hence the carnival game gives you better chance of winning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the event of win be given by 1/10 in the game of rifle then the event of loose is given by 9/10

the

Odds in favor of a game are given by  = P(Event)/ 1- P(Event)

Odds in favor of winning a rifle are given by = 1/10/ 1- 1/10

                                                                         =1/10/9/10

                                                                          =1/9

                                                                             = 0.111

The probability of winning aa rifle game is 0.111

The probability of winning the carnival game is 0.15

Comparing the two probabilities   0.111:0.15

The probability of  winning carnival game is greater than winning a rifle game

0.15>0.11

Hence the carnival game gives you better chance of winning.
