Explanation:

Area of a rectangle with length, l and breadth, b = <span>l⋅b</span>

Given <span>l=2b+8</span> and <span>A=120</span>

Area A = <span>l⋅b=<span>(2b+8)</span>⋅b=2<span>b2</span>+8b=120</span> =>

<span><span>2<span>b2</span>+8b−120=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+4b−60=0</span> =><span><span>b2</span>+10b−6b−60=0</span> =><span>b<span>(b+10)</span>−6<span>(b+10)</span>=0</span> =><span><span>(b−6)</span><span>(b+10)</span>=0</span>; =><span>b=6</span> as b cannot be <span>−10</span>.</span>

L x W = 120
L = 2 x W + 8

(2W + 8) x (W) = 120
2W^2 + 8W = 120
W^2 + 4W - 60 = 0
(W+ 10) x (W-6) = 0
W= -10, 6 
(( shouldn't be negative, so therefore W = 6 ))

Mr. Green is putting lights around 8 windows; each window is 3.5feet wide and 5 feet long. How many feet of light does he need?
zmey [24]
We must find the perimeter of all eight windows. To make it simpler for us, let's find the perimeter of one window and multiply it by 8.

2*3.5 + 2*5 = 7 + 10 = 17

17*8 = 136

Hope this helps!

Select the correct answer. A model rocket was launched from the top of a building. The rocket's approximate height can be modele
garri49 [273]

Answer:

13 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

h = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2).

Required

Determine a reasonable solution for t

To do this, we equate h to 0.

h = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2). becomes

0 = -4.9(t - 13)(t + 2).

Divide through by -4.9

0 = (t - 13)(t + 2).

Reorder the expression

(t - 13)(t + 2) = 0.

Split

t-13 = 0 or t + 2 = 0

This gives:

t = 13 or t = -2

But time can't be negative, So:

t = 13
