RO divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.

The area of the one triangle is equal half area of the rectangle.

Calculate the area of rectangle:

A_R=lw\\l=12,\ w=5\\\\A_R=12\cdot5=60

The area of right triangle:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}A_R\to A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot60=30

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of RO:

|RO|^2=5^2+12^2\\\\|RO|^2=25+144\\\\|RO|^2=169\to|RO|=\sqrt{169}\to|RO|=13

The formula of an area of this right triangle is:

A_T=\dfrac{1}{2}|RO||PA|

Therefore we have the equation:

\dfrac{1}{2}(13)|PA|=30\qquad|\cdot2\\\\13|PA|=60\quad|:13\\\\|PA|=\dfrac{60}{13}\\\\|PA|\approx4.62

Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 12\sqrt{x} + 36 = 0

Subtract x and 36 from both sides.

-12\sqrt{x} = -x - 36

Divide both sides by -1.

12\sqrt{x} = x + 36

Square both sides.

144x = x^2 + 72x + 1296

Subtract 144x from both sides.

0 = x^2 - 72x + 1296

Factor the right side.

0 = (x - 36)^2

x - 36 = 0

x = 36

Since the solution of the equation involved squaring both sides, we musty check the answer for possible extraneous solutions.

Check x = 36:

x - 12\sqrt{x} + 36 = 0

36 - 12\sqrt{36} + 36 = 0

36 - 12\times 6 + 36 = 0

36 - 72 + 36 = 0

0 = 0

Since 0 = 0 is a true statement, the solution x = 36 is a valid solution.

9 because if you change 1 and 4/5 to an improper fraction and you’ll get 9/5. If you multiply 1/5 by 9 you’ll get 9/5.
