Answer:

11 inches by 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the original photo were 11 inches by 11 inches.

We are informed that the area of the reduced photo is 64 square inches and that In the equation (x – 3)^2 = 64, x represents the side measure of the original photo.

In order to solve for x, we shall first take square roots on both sides of the equation;

The square root of (x – 3)^2 is simply (x - 3).

The square root of 64 is ±8 but we ignore -8 since the dimensions of any figure must be positive.

Therefore, we have the following equation;

x - 3 = 8

x = 8 + 3

x = 11

Two less than three times the width of a rectangle is equal to the lenght.The area of the rectangle is 65 square ft.What is the
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

 length:  13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

width:  x

length:  3x - 2

Area = Length * Width

65 = x(3x - 2)

65 = 3x² - 2x

3x² - 2x - 65 = 0

(3x +  13)( x -  5) = 0

3x + 13 = 0       and     x - 5 = 0

3x = -13                             x = 5

x = - 13/3

**Width cannot be a negative number so we'll discard -13/3.

width:  x = 5

length:  3x - 2 = 3(5) - 2 = 13

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Option D (4, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by various methods. I will be using the hit and trial method. I will plug in all the options in the both the given equations and see if they  balance simultaneously.

Checking Option 1 by plugging (-4, -5) in the first equation:

-2(-4) + 6(-5) = -38 implies 8 - 30 = -38 (not true).

Checking Option 2 by plugging (-5, 4) in the first equation:

-2(-5) + 6(4) = -38 implies 10 + 24 = -38 (not true).

Checking Option 3 by plugging (1, -6) in the second equation:

3(1) - 4(-6) = 32 implies 3 + 24 = 32 (not true).

Since all the options except Option 4 have been ruled out, therefore, (4,-5) is the correct answer!!!

What is the (approximate mass of air in a typical room with dimensions 5.4m×3.8m×2.5m?
Elden [556K]
The answer is 62.84 kg.

To calculate the mass of air (m) we need to use the volume (V) of the air (which is the same as the volume of the room) and the density (D) of the air.
D = m/V

The density of air is: D = 1.225 kg/m³
The volume of air is: V = 5.4m×3.8m×2.5m = 51.3 m³

D = m/V
m = D * V
m = 1.225 kg/m³ * 51.3 m³
m = 62.84 kg
