Answer:

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Length of a standard jewel case is 7cm more than its width.

Let the length be represented by L and the width be represented by W, this means that:

L = 7 + W

The area of the rectangular top of the case is 408cm². The area od a rectangle is given as:

A = L * W

Since L = 7 + W:

A = (7 + W) * W = 7W + W²

The area is 408 cm², hence:

408 = 7W + W²

Solving this as a quadratic equation:

=> W² + 7W - 408 = 0

W² + 24W - 17W - 408 = 0

W(W + 24) - 17(W + 24) = 0

(W - 17) (W + 24) = 0

=> W = 17cm or -24 cm

Since width cannot be negative, the width of the case is 17 cm.

Hence, the length, L, is:

L = 7 + 17 = 24cm.

The length of the case is 24 cm and its width is 17cm.

A) c=18
0.5c^2 +13=94
subtract 13 from both sides
0.5c^2 = 81
Square root of both sides to get c alone
0.5c=9
double c to make it just c
c=18

B) x=8
(x-2)^2+1=37
Subtract one from each side
(x-2)^2=36
square root each side
x-2=6
add the 2 over
x=8

Answer:

x= 1

QS = 10 cm

QRS = 40cm

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 1 = 5x

x= 1 cm

QS = 4x + 1 + 5x

= 9x + 1

= 9 + 1

= 10cm

QRS perimeter

QS + RQ + RS but ( RQ = RS)

= 10 + 15 + 15

= 40cm
