Answer:

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Express the lengths and widths

Width=w

Length=l, but 1 cm less than twice the width=(2×w)-1=2 w-1

Step 2: Solve for the length and width

A=L×W

where;

A=area of the photograph

L=length of the photograph

W=width of the photograph

In our case;

A=91 cm²

L=2 w-1

W=w

91=(2 w-1)w

2 w²-w=91

2 w²-w-91=0, is a quadratic equation

solve for w

w={-1±√(-1²-4×2×-91)}/(2×2)

w=(-1±27)/4

w=(27-1)/4=6.5, or (-1-27)/4=-8

Take w=6.5 cm

L=(2×6.5)-1=13-1=12 cm

Width=6.5 cm

Length=12 cm

1. Both are corresponding angles, hence they both are equal, so,

$44x + 2 = 45x \\ = > 2 = 45x - 44x \\ = > 2 = x \\ = > x = 2$

Ans. C) 2

2. They both are in interior corressponding, hence their sum is equal to 180°, so,

$10x + 6 + 104 = 180 \\ = > 10x + 110 = 180 \\ = > 10x = 180 - 110 \\ = > 10x = 70 \\ = > x = \frac{70}{10} \\ = > x = 7$

Ans. D) 7

3. They both are in interior corressponding, hence their sum is equal to 180°, so,

$x + 75 + x + 125 = 180 \\ = > 2x + 200 = 180 \\ = > 2x = 180 - 200 \\ = > 2 x = - 20 \\ = > x = \frac{ - 20}{2} \\ = > x = - 10$

Ans. A) -10

4. Both are corresponding angles, hence they both are equal, so,

$12x + 3 = 11x + 9 \\ = > 12x - 11x = 9 - 3 \\ = > x = 6$

Ans. A) 6
