Answer:

Length 37 cm, width 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original dimensions be length x and width x - 12 cms.

The new dimensions will be length (x - 2) and width (x - 12 - 2) = x-14 cm.

So , from the areas, we have:

x(x - 12) - (x - 2)(x - 14) = 120

x^2 - 12x  - (x^2 - 16x + 28) = 120

-12x + 16x - 28 = 120

4x = 148

x = 37 cms

So the length was 37 cm and the width was 37-12 = 25 cm.

4x -2y = 60
4x -3y = 26
(-) (+) (-)
__________
1y = 34
y = 34

To find x
4x -2y = 60
4x -(2)(34) = 60
4x -68 = 60
4x = 60 + 68
4x = 128
x = 32

Answer:
x=32 ; y=34

What is this problem
Veronika [31]

The coordinate of the vertex is; (h, k) = (3, -5)

The final equation of the parabola is; y = 5(x - 3)² - 5

<h3>How to find the vertex of a Parabola?</h3>

The vertex is the coordinate of the crest or trough of the curve. Now, in the given graph, we only have a Trough which is the lowest point of the graph.

The coordinate of the vertex is; (h, k) = (3, -5)

2) Since the general equation is;

y = a(x - h)² + k

We will have;

y = a(x - 3)² - 5

At x = 2, y = 0. Thus;

0 = a(2 - 3)² - 5

a - 5 = 0

a = 5

3) The final equation of the parabola is;

y = 5(x - 3)² - 5
