(9+w)w=252 or w(w+9)=252.
The quadratic equation applies: w²+9w-252=0=(w+21)(w-12), so w=12, because a negative zero is meaningless.
So the dimensions are width=12 in and length=21 in.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

  • 1.78 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>80 g rock displaces water:</u>

  • 75 ml - 30 ml = 45 ml = 45 cm³

<u>Density = mass / volume:</u>

  • d = 80 g / 45 cm³
  • d = 1.78 g/cm³ (rounded)

Find the value of x. Show your work, congruent triangles
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

130 + y = 180   {linear pair}

          y = 180 - 130

         y = 50°

3x - 6 +8x + 4 + 50 = 180        {Angle sum property of triangle}

3x + 8x - 6 +  4 + 50 = 180          {Combine like terms}

          11x + 48          = 180

                    11x        = 180 - 48

                          11x = 132

                            x = 132/11

x = 12°
