By definition, the area of a rectangle is given by:
A = (width) * (long)
Substituting values we have:
750 = (y-5) * (y)
Rewriting we have:
750 = y ^ 2 - 5y
y ^ 2 - 5y - 750 = 0
Answer:
An equation that can be used to solve for And the length of the room is:
y ^ 2 - 5y - 750 = 0
Answer:
X and Y = 66.5°.
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that X and Y are the base angles, which are equal in an isosceles triangle.
X = Y = (180 - 47) / 2
= 66.5°.
Longer leg = x + 4
Shorter leg = x
Hypotenuse = x + 8
Using Pythagorean Theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x + 4)^2 + x^2 = (x + 8)^2
x^2 + 8x + 16 + x^2 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 + 8x + 16 = x^2 + 16x + 64
2x^2 +8x = x^2 + 16x + 48
2x^2 - 8x = x^2 + 48
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0
You can complete the square from here or use the quadratic formula.
Completing the square:
x^2 - 8x = 48
x^2 - 8x + (-8/2)^2 = 48 + (-8/2)^2
x^2 - 8x + 16 = 48 + 16
(x - 4)(x - 4) = 64 or (x - 4)^2 = 64
x - 4 = +√64 OR x - 4 = -√64
x - 4 = +8 OR x - 4 = -8
x = 12 OR x = -4
However, you can't use negative 4 as a length because your length needs to be a positive.
So x will be 12.
Shorter leg: 12
Longer leg: 12 + 4
Hypotenuse: 12 + 8

Step-by-step explanation:
the problem is, there is no problem ;)
Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that all the angles must add up to 180
so we have
38+2b-20+b-15=180
solve for b
3b+3=180
3b=177
b=59
