Answer:

The first side of the rectangle  =  3 ft

The other side =  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the one side of the rectangle  = k feet

So, the other side of the rectangle = 4 ( First side) -4  =  (4 k -4 ) ft

Now, the area of the given same rectangle  = 24 sq ft

Area of the RECTANGLE = LENGTH x WIDTH

⇒ Area  = k x ( 4k - 4)

or, k ( 4k - 4)  = 24

\implies 4k^2 - 4k  = 24\\\implies k^2 - k = 6\\\implies k^2 - k - 6  = 0\\\implies k^2 - 3k + 2k - 6 = 0

or, k(k-3) +2(k-3) = 0

or, (k-3)(k+2) = 0

or, k = 3, or k = -2

As k = Length of the rectangle, so CAN NOT BE NEGATIVE.

⇒ k ≠ -2 , ⇒ k = 3 ft

So, the first side of the rectangle  = k =  3 ft

The other side = 4 k - 4   =  4 (3) - 4 = 12 - 4 =  8 ft

Please solve the equation (15m + 3)/2 = -6
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

m = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{15m+3}{2} = - 6

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

15m + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

15m = - 15 ( divide both sides by 15 )

m = - 1

I need to know fraction division
alexira [117]

Answer:

Division means sharing an item equally. A fraction has two parts - a numerator and a denominator. ... Dividing fractions is almost the same as multiplying them. For the division of fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle if the width is 60 and hight is 32
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The hypotenuse is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the hypotenuse of a a right angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras Theorem

c² = a² + b²

where c = hypotenuse, a = height, 32 and b = width, 60

Substitute the value 32 and 60 for a and b respectively in the above formula, and we will have

c² = 32² + 60²

c² =  1024 + 3600

c² = 4624

c = √4624

c = 68
