Answer: 9 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use Point Slope Form:
- y - Y1 = m (x - X1)
- m is the slope
- Y1 & X1 is a point on the line
- The form allows you to identify the slope & the point on the line
About Problem:
- Since -2/3 is the slope, it represents m in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form.
- -3 represents X1 in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form
- -1 represents Y1 in y - Y1 = m (x - X1) form
y - Y1 = m (x - X1)
y - -1 = -2/3 (x - -3) ---- This is in Point Slope Form
If you want to solve it, & put it in Slope Intercept form, it would look like this:
y = mx + b
y = -2/3 - 2 --- This is in Slope intercept Form.... I might've solved it wrong... I'm not sure...
Really really sorry if I'm incorrect...
8 because it goes from 1s 10s 100s so 8 is the answer
