We are interested in the dimensions of a certain square a rectangle had length triple the side of this square and width two unit

s less than the side of this square. If the two areas are equal, what are the squares dimensions (W x H)

Let s be the side length of the square. The dimensions of the rectangle are three times the side of the square (i.e. 3s), and two less than the side of the square (i.e. s-2).

So, the area of this rectangle is

3s(s-2)=3s^2-6s

The area of the square is s^2, and we know that the two areas are the same, so we have

3s^2-6s=s^2 \iff 2s^2-6s=0 \iff 2s(s-3)=0 \iff s=0 \lor s=3

The solution s=0 would lead to the extreme case where the rectangle and the square are actually a point, so we accept the solution s=3.

lesya [120]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Twenty-Six is not a multiple of three so you know it won't be 26. Counting by threes goes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30. Twenty-seven is the closest number to 26 which is higher than 26. Twenty-six + 1 = 27. That means that 1 is the answer.

Solve the following simultaneous equations.<br> 5x – 3y = 6<br> 3x + 4y= 21
ehidna [41]

Answer:

y  = 3, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x – 3y = 6

5x = 6 + 3y

x = (6 + 3y)/5

3x + 4y= 21

3x = 21 - 4y

x = (21-4y)/3

Using simultaneous equations:

(21-4y)/3 = (6 + 3y)/5

--> 105-20y = 18 + 9y

29y = 87

  • y = 3

  • x = (6 + 3(3))/5 = 3
