Answer:

Shortest Side = 20 feet

Second Side = 23 feets

Third Side = 37 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side of the desk be x. Hence,

Second side = (x + 3) feets

Third side = (2x - 3) feets

Perimeter = 80ft

x + (x + 3) + (2x - 3) = 80

                          4x = 80

                             x = 20

Hence, Second side = (20 + 3) feets

                                  = 23 feets

Third side = (40 - 3) feets

                 = 37 feets

Hence<u>,</u><u> shortest side is 20 feets, Second side is 23 feets, Third side is 37 feets.</u>

the rectangular post shown at the right measures 2w-30 by w. the poster has an area of 5400 cm^2. what is The value of w ?
borishaifa [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

w(2w - 30) = 5400

2w²- 30w = 5400

2w² - 30w - 5400 = 0

(w - 60 ) ( w + 45 ) = 0

w= 60 w= - 45

only take the positive value

therefore w = 60

Give an example of a quadratic with complex roots. Explain how you know it has complex roots.
Vladimir [108]
2x^2 + x + 3=0 has only complex roots.

The determinant is 1-4*2*3 = -23

-23 (or any determinant) is the part under the square root sign,  If that determinant is negative, knowing you cannot take the square root of a negative number, we know the answers must be complex.

Find the value of x, o is the centroid
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

In the triangle O is the centroid.  

Now, we know that the centroid divides the medians in the 2 : 1 ratio that means the distance from the centroid to the vertex and the distance from the centroid to the opposite side remains in 2 : 1 ratio.

So, from the given diagram we can write  

\frac{3x}{2x - 7} = \frac{2}{1}

⇒ 3x = 4x - 14

⇒ x = 14 (Answer)
