A = LW
A = 120
W = L - 2

120 = L(L-2)
120 = L^2 - 2L
L^2 - 2L - 120 = 0
(L - 12)(L + 10) = 0

L - 12 = 0
L = 12

L + 10 = 0
L = -10 (extraneous solution...will not work)

length (L) = 12 ft
width (W) = L - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

The larger number is 18 more than twice the smaller. If the sum of the two numbers is 93, find both numbers
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

larger number=18+(2x)

smaller number=x

(18+2x)+x=93

18 +3x=93

3x=93-18

3x=75

x=25

18+2(25)

18+50

68

larger number =68

smaller number=25

Anyone know how to do #14 and #15?????
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

He Melanie ,  use SOH  CAH  TOA to remember the trig functions

Step-by-step explanation:

for 14 they hyp = 22 and we know one angle of 45°,  we also know that the triangle has a right angle or 90°  and by inspection we can tell that the other angle is also going to be 45°   so we know X and Y will be the same length, is why this is a good observation.  

Use one of the trig functions with H in it b/c you know Hyp is 22,  so,  

SOH  =  Sin(Θ)= Opp / Hyp  

Sin(45) = Opp / 22

Sin(45) * 22 = Opp

\sqrt{2} / 2  * 22 = opp

11*\sqrt{2} = opp     is the exact answer,   if  you would like some decimal places, it's 7.7781 units,  both X and Y

for 15  we can use SOH again for the bigger triangle.  we know the Hyp is 24 and the angle is 30°

Sin(30) = Opp / 24

Sin(30) *24 = Opp

12 = Opp         ( Because I know Sin(30)  = 1/2 )

Opp is the upright between the two triangles

Use CAH   Cos(Θ) = Adj / Hyp

Cos(30) = Adj / 24

Cos(30) * 24 = Adj

\sqrt{3} /2 *24 =Adj

12\sqrt{3} = Adj

Z = 12\sqrt{3}   or if you want some decimals 20.7846

Becasue the smaller triangle is also a 45° right triangle we know that the upright and side Y are the same lengths

then

Y = 12

You could use SOH or CAH  to find the Hyp but, lets just resort to Pythagoras,  and use  his formula to find Hyp

Hyp = \sqrt{12^{2} +12^{2}  }

Hyp = \sqrt{288}

hyp = 16.97

X = 16.97

Jordan and Ellen recycle cans. Jordan recycles 7 cans for every 12 cans Ellen recycles. Last week, Jordan
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

c=6 They sold a total of 114 cans

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio is 7:12, so last week, he sold 42 cans, meaning that you need to divide 42 by to get 6 in order to figure out the amount Ellen sold last week. Then do 6 times 12 to get 72 cans sold for Ellen. Add 72 to 42 to get 114 cans sold in total.

Is y = x 2 – 1 a linear equation?
katrin [286]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine if linear </u>

It is not linear because it has the x variable to the second power which makes the line bend and turns into a parabola.  A linear line would have the x to the first power or just x.

Answer: No
