A rectangular parcel of land has an area of 6,000 ft2. A diagonal between opposite corners is measured to be 10 ft longer than o

ne side of the parcel. What are the dimensions of the land, correct to the nearest foot? ft (smaller value) by ft (larger value)

Answer:

50ft by 120ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L × W

6000ft² = L × W

L = 6000/W

When a diagonal line divides a rectangle into 2 right angled triangles, the diagonal line = Hypotenuse of either of the triangle and it is the longest side.

The formula for a right angle triangle =

a² + b² = c²( c = hypotenuse)

We are told in the question that:

A diagonal between opposite corners is measured to be 10 ft longer than one side of the parcel

Let us assume the side that the hypotenuse is longer than = Width

Hence, the Diagonal = (W + 10)²

Therefore

L² + W² = (W + 10)²

Since L = 6000/W

W² + (6000/W)² = (W + 10)²

W² + (6000/W)² = (W + 10) (W + 10)

W² + (6000/W)² = W² + 10W + 10W + 100

W² + (6000/W)² = W² + 20W + 100

W² - W² + (6000/W)² = 20W+ 100

6000²/W² = 20W + 100

6000² = W²( 20W + 100)

6000² = 20W³ + 100W²

20W³ + 100W² - 6000² = 0

20W³ + 100W² - 36000000 = 0

20(W³ + 5W² - 1800000) = 0

Factorising the quadratic equation,

20(W − 120)(W² + 125W + 15000) = 0

W - 120 = 0

W = 120

Therefore,

W(Width) = 120feet

Since the Width = 120 feet

We can find the length

6000ft² = L × W

L = 6000/W

L = 6000/120

L = 50 feet

The dimensions of the land, correct to the nearest foot is 50ft by 120ft

P(x)=2x^3-11x^2+ax-40 if x+4 is a factor of this polynomial what is the value of a
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

a = -86.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:

P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0

-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0

-4a = 128 +176 + 40

-4a = 344

a = -86.

D) (K<br> If f(x) = x3 and g(x) = 2x + 7, what is g(x)<br> when x = 2?
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 2x + 7

Put x as 2 and evaluate.

g(2) = 2(2) + 7

Multiply.

g(2) = 4 + 7

Add the terms.

g(2) = 11

The ratio of chaperones to students on a field trip to New York City is 2 to 11. If there are 297 students on the trip, how many
Olenka [21]
297/11 = 27

So we have 27 groups of 11 students. If there are 2 chaperones for every 11 students, then we can do:

27x2=54

There are 54 chaperones on the field trip.
