Answer:
A POINT CAN BE IN AN INFINATE NUMBER OF LINES. THINK OF A PINWHEEL, OR A SPOKE OF A WHEEL, WITH ALL LINES (SPOKES) PASSING THROUGH THE MIDDLE. Sure. Draw a point; draw two lines thru the point.
Step-by-step explanation:
A- 53
B- 53
C- 127
D- 54
E- E+20
F- 59
Width = x
length = x+10
Area of deck = 144 square feet
Area = length * width
144 = x(x+10)
Solving for x in a quadratic:
x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0
Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0
Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18
Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.
Length = x + 10
Length = 18
Width = 8
