Suppose the width of the path is x.
the dimensions of the extended rectangle are (12+x+x), and (16+x+x)
(12+2x)(16+2x)=285
4x²+56x+192=285
4x²+56x-93=0
Not easy to factor it, so use the quadratic formula to solve:
x={-56+√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4 or x={-56-√[(56²-4*4*(-93)]}/2*4
x=1.5 (ignore the negative solution.)

Is it possible to determine the form factor without opening the case?

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Sometimes the form factor can be determined without opening the case and the form factor can be predicted on the basis of the shape of the case.

But, since the mother board is must to determine a form factor, you have to open the case before you can determine the form factor. Unless the manufacturer tags the details of the motherboard outside the case which is very rare to see. Also most cases easily show the type but that is not enough to determine the form factor.

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth

marishachu [46]

You will have to use trig to solve this:

The side you have is adjacent to the known angle

The side you are looking for is opposite the known angle

^^^This means you need to use tan:

tan(24) = $\frac{x}{12}$

.445222 = $\frac{x}{12}$

^^^input tan(24) into calculator, then multiply 12 to both sides to isolate and solve for x

5.3 ≈ x

Hope this helped!

A ski patrol unit has nine members available for duty, and two of them are to be sent to rescue an injured skier. In how many wa

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of two of the nine members of ski patrol unit can be chosen is equal to the combinations of 9 taken 2. This can be calculated using the formula:

$\frac{9!}{2!*(9-2)!}$

= $\frac{9!}{2!*7!}$ , where

9! =9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 and

7!=7×6×5×4×3×2×1

2!=2×1 then the equation becomes:

= $\frac{9*8}{2}$ =36
