ANSWER

45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

EXPLANATION

The diagonal of the rectangular painting is 62cm.

The height of the painting is 42 cm.

The height of the painting h , the diagonal, and the width of the painting forms a right triangle with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.

From the Pythagoras Theorem,

{w}^{2}  +  {42}^{2}  = {62}^{2}

{w}^{2} = {62}^{2} -  {42}^{2}

{w}^{2}  = 2080

{w} =  \sqrt{2080}

w = 4 \sqrt{130}

The width of the painting is 45.6cm to the nearest tenth.

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by
Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

A = wl

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

l = 2w + 3, A = 9

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}

\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac

In this question:

w(2w+3) = 9

2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0

Thus a quadratic equation with a = 2, b = 3, c = -9

Then

\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81

w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5

w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.
