Answer:

21cm, 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width=x cm

length=2x-3 cm

area= 252cm²

l*b= 252 cm²

(2x-3)(x)=252

2x²-3x= 252

this is how I did it

we need to find the nearest square of the number (it should be lesser than the area)

that is 225, whose square root is 15.

since there is a coefficient to the x², the value of x would be calculate like this 15- (2+1)= 15-3 = 12

x= 12

we can verify it too,

2*(12)² - 3*12=252

288-36=252

252=252

therefore width is 12 cm and width is 2*12-3= 24-3= 21 cm

verify;

21*12= 252

252=252

hence the dimensions are 12 am (width) and 21 cm(length).

Which expressions represent rational numbers? select all the apply. startroot 100 endroot startroot 100 endroot 13.5 startroot 8
zlopas [31]

The expressions are irrational 1/3 + √216 and √64+ √353 and the expressions √100 × √100, 13.5 + √81, √9 + √729, and 1/5 + 2.5 are rational number.

<h3>What is a rational number?</h3>

If the value of a numerical expression is terminating then they are the rational number then they are called the rational number and if the value of a numerical expression is non-terminating then they are called an irrational number.

1.  √100 × √100

→ √100 × √100

→ 10 × 10 = 100

This is a rational number.

2.  13.5 + √81

→ 13.5 + √81

→ 13.5 + 9 = 22.5

This is a rational number.

3.  √9 + √729

→ √9 + √729

→ 3 + 27 = 30

This is a rational number.

4.  √64+ √353

→ √64 + √353

→ 8 + √353

This is an irrational number.

5.  1/3 + √216

→ 1/3 + √216

→ 1/3 + √216

This is an irrational number.

6.  1/5 + 2.5

→ 1/5 + 2.5

→ 0.2 + 2.5 = 2.7

This is a rational number.

Answer:

Yes, Fiona is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

WHen the pythagorean theorem is applied to the side lengths (2^2 + 4^2 = c^2), the result for c^2 is 20. The correct answer would be sqrt.20. But Fiona is also correct becuase sqrt of 20 can be simplified to sqrt.4 * sqrt.5; which equals 2*sqrt.5

lina2011 [118]

Answer: x < 3 or x ≥ 11

(-∞, 3) or [11, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 4 from each side

2x < 6 .     or .         3x  ≥ 33

x < 3 or x ≥ 11

make sure you have an OPEN DOT at 3 pointing to negative infinity and a CLOSED DOT at 11 pointing to positive infinity.
