A^2+b^2= 15^2

b=a-3

Use substitution
a^2+(a-3)^2= 225
a^2+a^2-6a+9=225
2a^2-6a=-216
2a^2-6a+216=0

2(a^2-3a+108)
2(a-12)(a+9)

(a-12)=0
a=12
(a+9)=0
a=-9
A is -9 or 12, but since an object can't have a negative length or width, a must be 12.

Plug this value of a in.
b=(12)-3
b=9

Final answer: Length=9, width=12

Solve 3^x − 2 = 3^7<br><br> A. 2<br> B. 5<br> C. 7<br> D. 9
Vikki [24]

Answer:

C) 7

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x−2=2187

Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.

3^x−2+2=2187+2

3^x=2189

Step 2: Solve Exponent.

3^x=2189

log(3x)=log(2189)        <<Take log of both sides

x*(log(3))=log(2189)

x= log(2189)/log(3)

x=7.000832

A farmer wants to use 200 feet of fencing for a chicken pen he wants the width of the pen to be 20 feet what is the length of th
Dominik [7]
The length should be 80 feet.
This is because the width is 20 since there are two sides for the width in pen, we have to add 20+20.  This would equal 40. Then we need to subtract 40 from 200. 200-40 would be 160. Then since there are two sides for the length, we need to split that in half. 160÷2 would be 80. To double check, you can do 80+80, and that would still be 160. So the length of one side would be 80. But of course, this whole thing would only be right if the pen has four sides(but since I have seen many chicken pens, there were all rectangular)
