Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume  = 198 ft

length * width * height = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4) * 3 = 198

(x - 1) * (x + 4)  = 198/3

(x - 1) * (x + 4) = 66

x*x + x*4 -1*x - 1*4 = 66   {Use FOIL method to multiply}

x² + 4x - x - 4 = 66

x² + 3x - 4 =66

x² + 3x - 4 - 66 = 0

x² + 3x - 70 = 0

Now factorize.

x² + 10x - 7x - 7*10 = 0

x(x +10) - 7(x + 10 ) = 0

(x + 10)(x - 7) = 0

x - 7 = 0 {x + 10 is ignored because measurement cannot be in negative}

x = 7

length = x - 1 = 7 - 1 = 6ft

Width = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11 ft

The circumcenter is the center of the. circle
erma4kov [3.2K]

The circumcenter is the center of the circle which goes through the triangle's vertices, so the circumcenter of the triangle and the center of that circumscribed circle MUST be the same point.

The same goes for the incenter and the center of the inscribed circle, though these will not, in general, be the same point as the circumcenter.

Question 1<br> What is the solution of n² - 49 = 0?<br> 0 +7<br> 07<br> -7<br> O no solution
Sphinxa [80]
Hey there!

This can be written as n^{2}-(7)^{2}

This is in form of \fbox{a^{2}-b^{2}} , it can be expanded as \fbox{(a-b)(a+b)}

=> (n-7)(n+7)=0
=> n -7 = 0 or n + 7 = 0
=> n = 7 or n = -7

So option 7 , -7 are correct.

Hope this is clear :)
Have a good day:)

How do you use equivalent fractions to compare the fractions in each pair
Alenkasestr [34]
Firstly you need to to reduce to a common denominator by multiplYing the whole fraction. This way you have to multiply 4/5 by 2 (both numerator and denominator). so 4/5 = 8/10. And now you have 8/10 and 9/10. You compare only numerators. This way you have 8/10 <9/10. Same goes for 2/3 and 5/8. Only here you need to multiply both fractions. The common denominator here is 24. So you have to multiply 2/3 by 8 and 5/8 by 3. You now have to compare 16/24 and 15/24. 16/24>15/24.
