Use the pythagorean theorem a.k.a ${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
c is the hypotenuse while a & b are the legs
${15}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {17}^{2}$
$225 + {b}^{2} = 289$
subtract 225 from 289
${b}^{2} = 64$
square root both b and 64
the other leg is equal to 8

A rectangle’s length is 5 inches more than twice its width. its area is 50 square inches. which equation can be used to find its

OLga [1]

The equation of the area of the rectangle is w(2w + 5) = 50. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

It has four sides and is a polygon. The internal angle adds up to 360 degrees. The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel and equal, and each angle is 90 degrees. Its diagonals are equally equal, intersecting in the middle.

A rectangle’s length is 5 inches more than twice its width. its area is 50 square inches.

Let the width of the rectangle be w, then the length of the rectangle will be (2w + 5).

Then the area of the rectangle is given as

Area = l × w

Then we have

w(2w + 5) = 50

The area of a circular oil slick on the surface of the sea is increasing at a rate of [150m^2/s] how fast is the radius changing

Akimi4 [234]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\frac{dA}{dt}=150m^2/s$

a.Radius =25 m

We have to find rate of change of radius.

We know that

Area of circle, $A=\pi r^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Substitute the values then we get

$150=2\pi (25)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{150}{50\pi}=\frac{3}{\pi} m/s$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{3}{\pi} m/s$

b.A= $1000m^2$

Substitute the values then we get

$1000=\pi r^2$

$\pi=3.14$

$r^2=\frac{1000}{3.14}$

$r=\sqrt{\frac{1000}{3.14}}=17.8m$

$\frac{dA}{dr}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Substitute the values then we get

$150=2\pi(17.8)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{150}{2\pi(17.8)}=\frac{150}{35.6\pi}$ m/s

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{75}{17.8\pi}$ m/s
