The answer is: "3" .
_______________________________
Use the Pythagorean theorem (for right triangles):
a² + b² = c² ;
in which "a = "side length 1" (unknown; for which we which to solve);
"b" = "side length 2" = "√3" (given in the figure) ;
"c" = "length of hypotenuse" = "2√3" (given in the figure);
_____________________________________________________
a² + b² = c² ;
a² = c² − b² ;
Plug in the known values for "c" and "b" ;
a² = (2√3)² − (√3)² ;
Simplify:
(2√3)² = 2² * (√3)² = 2 * 2 * (√3√3) = 4 * 3 = 12 .
(√3)² = (√3√3) = 3 .
a² = 12 − 3 = 9 .
a² = 9
Take the "positive square root" of EACH SIDE of the equation; to isolate "a" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "a" ;
+√(a²) = +√9 ;
a = 3 .

Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x -
14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.
Answer: 5x^2 -3x -14
Explanation:
You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.
I will show you how to factor that polynomial from zero:
1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14
2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>
5 [5x^2 - 3x -14 ]
----------------------
5
3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:
5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
5
4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms
(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
5
5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:
(5x ) ( 5x ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7) <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is - 70
=>
(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
5
6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2
7) factored expression
(x - 2) (5x + 7)
8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)
2. Question 2. The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 +
7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring
Answer: </span><span><span>option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
Explanation:
The procedure is the same of the question 1.
1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20
2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>
(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
=>
(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
6
(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
3.2
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)
------------- . ------------ =
3 2
(2x + 5)(3x - 4)
4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>
It should be 15. 88 minus 28 is 60. Then 60 divided by 4 is 15.
Answer:
C. The functions have the same y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
In slope intercept form, y = mx + b, b represents the y-intercept, and in the first function the y-intercept is 10.
The y-intercept is when x = 0, and in the chart, when x equals 0, y equals 10.
10 = 10, so they have the same y-intercept.
Answer: 1 1/5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 * 6
1/5 * 6/1
6/5 = 1 1/5
