= 
+ = 
289 + = 961
Subtract 289 on both sides
= 672
=

b = 25.9 yd
Hi there!
In order to solve, we'll need to use a proportion: 20/a = 21/20. Then, we'll cross-multiply and solve to find a: 21a = 400 | a = 19.05. Next, to find b, we can just use pythagorean theorem: 20^2 + (400/21)^2 = b^2 | b = 27.62.
We are using geometric mean to solve for a, then using pythagorean theorem to solve for b. If you need more help with geometric mean, or would like a complete explanation, please let me know! I'd be happy to provide you with that information.
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
For 1. The answer is “x = 4”
Explanation: 5 X 4 = 20 and 4 - 3 = 1
By adding all equal sides together the sum is 42 so x is 4
A = L * W
A = 75
L = W + 10
75 = W(W + 10)
75 = W^2 + 10W
W^2 + 10W - 75 = 0
(W + 15)(W - 5) = 0
W + 15 = 0
W = -15...not this one because it is negative
W - 5 = 0
W = 5 <=== width is 5 ft
L = W + 10
L = 5 + 10
L = 15 <=== length is 15 ft
