A rectangular folder has a perimeter of 30 inches and an area of 54 square inches. What are the dimensions of the folder?

1 answer:

3 0

We know, perimeter = 2(l + w)
So, 2(l + w) = 30
2l + 2w = 30
Divide the equation 2,
l + w = 15

Now, Area = l * w
l * w = 54

Substitute the value of l from previous equation,
(15-w) * w = 54
15w - w² = 54
w² - 15w + 54 = 0
w² - 6w - 9w + 54 = 0
w(w - 6) -9(w - 6) = 0
(w-6)(w-9) = 0
w = 6 or 9

In short, Your Dimensions would be: 6 × 9 in

Hope this helps!

What number would you have to add to both sides to complete the square?

X^2 + 12x = -6

x^2 + 12 x + 6^2 = -6 + 6^2

(x + 6)^2 = - 6 + 36

(x +6)^2 = 30

In the first step I had to add 6^2 = 36. The answer is option B. 36.

Which expression is equivalent to (2^5)^-2

irinina [24]

1/1024 is the correct answer. First you had to apply exponent rule, and it gave us, $\frac{1}{(2^5)^2}$ , or $2^5^*^2$ . Then you can also refine, and it gave us, $2^10$ , or $\frac{1}{2^10}$ . And it gave us the answer is $2^1^0=2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2=1024$ , or 1/1024 is the correct answer. Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
