The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = wl

We have l = w - 4 and A = 21.

Substitute:

w(w - 4) = 21       <em>use distributive property</em>

(w)(w) + (w)(-4) = 21

w² - 4w = 21     <em>subtract 21 from both sides</em>

w² - 4w - 21 = 0

w² - 7w + 3w - 21 = 0

w(w - 7) + 3(w - 7) = 0

(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0 ↔ w - 7 = 0 ∨ w + 3 = 0

w = 7 ∨ w = -3 < 0

l = w - 4 → l = 7 - 4 = 3

<h3>Answer: the length = 3 u.</h3>

For this case we have:

By properties of the radicals \sqrt {a} = a ^{\frac {1} {2}}

So:

(\sqrt {7}) ^ 2 = (7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2.

Now, for power properties we have:

(b ^ {\frac {c} {d}}) ^ e = b ^ {\frac {c * e} {d}}

Thus, (7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2 = 7 ^ {\frac {2} {2}} = 7

So:

7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}} = \sqrt {7}in its radical form

Answer:

(\sqrt {7}) ^ 2 = (7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}}) ^ 2= 7 ^ {\frac {2} {2}} = 7 in its simplest form.

7 ^ {\frac {1} {2}} = \sqrt {7}in its radical form

pochemuha

Given :

Miki has 104 nickels and 88 dimes.

She wants to divide her coins into groups where each group has the same number of nickels and the same number of dimes.

To Find :

Largest number of groups she can have .

Solution :

In the given question we need to find the largest number of groups she can have i.e we have to find the LCM of 104 and 88 .

Now , factorizing both of them , we get :

104=1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 13

88=1\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 11

Form above , we can say that common factors are :

HCF=2\times 2\times 2=8

Therefore , the largest number of groups she can have is 8 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
