Answer:
x = 1.47 or x = -7.47
Step-by-step explanation:
x²+6x+9=20
This is a quadratic equation
x²+6x+9-20=0
x²+6x-11=0
Step 1 : Write the quadratic formula
x = <u>-b±√b²-4(a)(c)</u>
2a
Step 2 : Substitute values in the formula
a = 1
b = 6
c = -11
x = <u>-6±√6²-4(1)(-11)</u>
2(1)
x = <u>-6±√80</u>
2
x = -3 + 2√5 or x = -3 - 2√5
x = 1.47 or x = -7.47

Base=x+7 Height=x Area=60. 60=((x+7)(x))/2----->60=(x^2+7x)/2
120=x^2+7x X^2+7X-120=0. QUDRATIC FORMULA: -7+/- SQRT(49+480)/2
(-7+/-23)/2... 8 and -15. -15 ISNT the answer because you cant have a negative length. X=8 Base=8+7---->15 Height=8
For 6: 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
For 9: 18, 27, 36, 45, 54
For 7: 14, 21, 28, 35, 42
The hand went around 7 numbers.
