Answer:

Length= 19cm

Width= 9cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length of the rectangle be L cm and its width be W cm.

Perimeter of rectangle= 56cm

2L +2W= 56

L +W= 56 ÷2

L +W= 28

L= 28 -W -----(1)

Area of rectangle= length ×width

LW= 171 -----(2)

Susbt. (1) into (2):

W(28 -W)= 171

28W -W²= 171 <em>(</em><em>expand</em><em>)</em>

W² -28W +171= 0 <em>(</em><em>bring</em><em> </em><em>everything</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>)</em>

(W -19)(W-9)= 0 <em>(</em><em>factorise</em><em>)</em>

W-19=0 or W-9=0

W= 19 or W= 9

Subst into (1):

L=28 -19 or L= 28 -9

L=9 or L= 19

Since we usually take the longer side of the rectangle to be its length, L= 19 and hence W=9.

Therefore its length is 19cm and its width is 9cm.

igomit [66]

Answer:

165 liters of 15% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

15F + 65S = 60(1650)

F + S = 1650

F = 1650-S

15(1650-S) +65S = 99000

50S = 99000-24750= 74250

S = 74250/50 = 7425/5 = 1485 liters of 65% solution

F = 1650-1485 = 165 liters of 15% solution

65 is much closer to 60 than 15 is,  so you know there will be mostly 65% solution with relatively little 15%

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

Complete the square to solve 4x^2 + 24x = 4
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

4x^2+24x=4

Step 1:

make the coefficient of x² as 1, divide both sides by 4

x² +6x =1

Step 2:

take half of coefficient of x, square it and add it to both sides

half of 6 is 3 and 3²=9, so add 9 to both sides

x² +6x+9=1+9

x²+6x+3²=10

(x+3)²=10

now when we take square root we will get both + and - √10 on right side

x+3= +√10

x+3=-√10

solving for x

x=+√10-3
