Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of rectangle is 1 feet less than twice the width

So, let The width of rectangle = w feet

The length of rectangle = ( 2 w - 1 )  feet

The area of the rectangle = 21 feet²

Now,

∵ The area of the rectangle = length × width

Or, 21 feet² =  ( 2 w - 1 ) feet × w feet

or, 21 = 2 w² - w

or, 2 w² - w - 21 = 0

or, 2 w² + 6 w - 7 w - 21 = 0

or , 2 w ( w + 3 ) - 7 ( w + 3 ) = 0

or, ( w + 3 ) ( 2 w - 7 ) = 0

So, w = - 3 feet , \frac{7}{2} feet

here we consider only positive value of w i.e  \frac{7}{2} feet

∴ The length of rectangle = ( 2 w - 1 )  feet

or,  The length of rectangle = 2 × \frac{7}{2}  - 1

Or, The length of rectangle = 7 - 1 = 6 feet

Hence The length of the rectangle is 6 feet , Answer

How can I solve these problems
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Easy the three angles of a triangle equal 180 degrees

so 60+75 = 135 --> 180-135=

1) 145

2) 35

3)  no since the tops a 100 and its a Isosceles triangle two corners left it be 40 for each corner

4) 34 for both x's cause 34+34+112. = 180

5) 180- 120= 60- 10 = 50/4 is (12.5)= x

6) x = 15 cause it be 120- 60 to get 60
