Answer:
no. i do not think so.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4

Answer:
(b) √55
Step-by-step explanation:
The right triangles in this geometry are all similar, so the ratio of long side to short side is the same:
y/5 = 11/y
y² = 55 . . . . . . multiply by 5y
y = √55 . . . . . take the square root
__
And x=4√5 by looking at ratios of short side to hypotenuse.
6+2s-8s=18
6-6s=18
-6s= 18-6
-6s= 12
S= 12/-6
S= -2
Hope this helps!
