Answer:

the length is 12 and the width is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is always to assign letters to the variables.  We can call length L and width W.

Since all units are in cm, unit conversion is unnecessary.

Next, set up some equations.  L=2W-6 because of the first sentence of the problem.  Length times width equals area, so L*W=108.

Now that there are two equations and two variables, the next step is to solve the system.  I'm going to solve it by plugging in the right side of the first equation in for L in the second equation.  This gives me (2W-6)*W=108.  Distributing the W gives me 2W^2-6W=108, or W^2-3W-54=0.  Using the quadratic formula, I get that W=9.  Using the first equation, L=2*9-6=12.  So the length is 12 and the width is 9.

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6
Grace [21]
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14

Answer:

Same-side exterior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the process of elimination it is not:

→ Corresponding angles as that would be 2 and 6

→ Same side interior angles as that would be 3 and 6 or 4 and 5

→ Alternate interior angles as that would be 6 and 4 of 3 and 5
