The University of Southern California is located about 2.5 miles west and about 2.8 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Suppose

Jlenok [28]

If x represents distance measured east of downtown, and y represents distance measured north of downtown, the circle of radius 40 centered at (-2.5, -2.8) will have an equation of the form
(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
where the center is (h, k) and the radius is r. The locus of points 4 miles from USC will satisfy the equation
(x +2.5)² + (y + 2.8)² = 1600

Answer:

Width of rectangle = 6 m

Length of rectangle = 11 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = 3w-7

Area of rectangle = 66 m²

We need to find length and width of rectangle

The formula used is: $Area=Length \times Width$

Putting values and finding w

$Area=Length \times Width\\66=(3w-7)(w)\\66=3w^2-7w\\3w^2-7w-66=0\\$

Solve using quadratic formula: $w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We have a=3, b=-7, c=-66

Putting values and finding w

$w=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\w=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(7)^2-4(3)(-66)}}{2(3)}\\w=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49+792}}{6}\\w=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{841}}{6}\\w=\frac{7\pm29}{6}\\w=\frac{7+29}{6}\:,\:w=\frac{7-29}{6}\\w=6, w=-3.6$
