The length of the rectangle is based on its width, so let's call width w and put the length in terms of the width. We are told that the width is 45 less than 4 times the width, so the length is 4w - 45. Area is found by multiplying length times width and we are given the area as 3325. So we will set up length times width and solve for w, which we will then use to solve for l. 3325 = (4w - 45)(w). Multiplying out we have 3325=4w^2-45w. Move the constant over by subtraction and then we will have a quadratic that can be factored to solve for w. 4w^2-45w-3325=0. We would put that through the quadratic formula to solve for w. When we do that we get that w = 35 and w = -23.75. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative is time and distance/length, so -23.75 is out. That means that the width is 35. The length is 4(35) - 45 which is 95. The dimensions of your rectangle are length is 95 and width is 35. There you go!

A triangle has an area of 10 square feet. The height is 5 feet. What is the length of the base (in feet)?
Nady [450]

Answer:

4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\frac{1}{2} bh

A=10 h=5

10=\frac{1}{2} b(5)\\

20=5b (multiply both sides by 2)

4=b (divide by 5)

quester [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

let p be the point which is at a distance of 4 units from the x-axis and at a distance of 5 units from the y axis

(i) When P lies in the first quadrant then the coordinates of P are (5,4).

(ii) When of P lies in the second quadrant then the coordinates of P are (-5,4).

(iii) When P lies in the third quadrant then the coordinates of P are (-5,-4).

(iv) When P lies in the fourth quadrant then the coordinates of P are (5,-4).
