Answer:

Length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The diagonal distance from one corner of the corral to the opposite corner is five yards longer than the width of the corral. The length of the corral is three times the width.

To find: The length of the diagonal of the corral.

Solution: Let the width of the rectangular garden be <em>x</em> yards.

So, the length of the diagonal is x+5

width of the rectangular corral is 3x

We know that the square of the diagonal is sum of the squares of the length and width.

So,

(3x)^{2} +x^{2} =(x+5)^{2}

9x^{2} +x^{2} =x^{2}+10x+25

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

9x^{2}-10x-25=0

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{(-10)^{2} -4(9)(-25)} }{2(9)}

x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100}}{18}

Since, side can't be negative.

x=\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Now, length of the diagonal is

5+\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}\sqrt{10}

Hence, length of diagonal is 7.3 yards.

Please help me!<br> Find the value of x
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

So we're going to start by finding the other angles of the triangle which x is part of. So we know that a line adds up to 180 degrees. So we can find the angle that's close to N. If you know which one I'm talking about.

105 + 45 = 150. So then we can subtract 150 from 180

180 - 150 = 30

And for the angle at angle L, it's also 90 degrees.

So we know that the angles that add up so far are 120.

Now we'll make an equation:

2x + 120 = 180

Because all angles of a triangle add up to 180

So we subtract 120 from both sides

2x = 60

Now we divide 2 form both sides.

x = 30

So, x = 30
