width = 98 cm

length = 105 cm

set up equations

the perimeter of a rectangle = 2W + 2L

p = 2W + 2L

the perimeter is also 406

406 = 2W + 2L

we know that the length of the rectangle is 7 cm longer than the width so

L = W + 7

substitute equations and solve for width

plug L into p = 2W + 2L to get

406 = 2W + 2(W + 7) distribute the 2 to the terms in the parentheses

406 = 2W + 2W + 14

406 = 4W + 14

392 = 4W

W = 98

substitute equations and solve for length

now that we know the width, we can substitute W in L = W + 7 to find length

L = W + 7

L = 98 + 7

L = 105

final dimensions

width = 98 cm

length = 105 cm

Find the solutions to the equation 102x 11 = (x 6)2 – 2. Which values are approximate solutions to the equation? Select two answ

You can try finding the roots of the given quadratic equation to get to the solution of the equation.

There are two solutions to the given quadratic equation

$x = 0.202, x = 113.798$

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is $ax^2 + bx +c = 0$

Then its roots are given as:

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

<h3>How to find the solution to the given equation?</h3>

First we will convert it in the aforesaid standard form.

$102x + 11 = (x-6)^2 - 2\\102x + 11 + 2 = x^2 + 36 - 12x\\0 = x^2 -114x + 23\\x^2 -114x + 23 = 0\\$

Thus, we have

a = 1. b = -114, c = 23

Using the formula for getting the roots of a quadratic equation,

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \dfrac{114 \pm \sqrt{114^2 - 92}}{2} \\\\ x = 0.202 (\text{used "-" sign})\\\\x = 113.798 ( used "+" sign})$

Thus, there are two solutions to the given quadratic equation

$x = 0.202, x = 113.798$

In a U. S . Poll 8 out of 12 citizens said they were happy with the job Obama is doing. If 126 people were surveyed...

Solnce55 [7]

8 out of 12 people were happy.

8/12 reduces to 2/3 of the people were happy.

Multiply the total people surveyed by 2/3:

126 x 2/3 = (126 x 2) /3 = 252/3 = 84

84 people were happy.
