Answer:

x = 6, x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = x² - 36

To find the zeros let y = 0, that is

x² - 36 = 0 ← x² - 36 is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), thus

x² - 36 = 0

x² - 6² = 0

(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 6 = 0 ⇒ x = 6

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = - 6

Let's solve this problem step-by-step.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.

First we will establish the equations which we will be using as displayed below:

Equation No. 1 -

A + B = 90°

Equation No. 1 -

A = 2B + 12

To begin with, let's make ( A ) the subject in the first equation as displayed below:

Equation No. 1 -

A + B = 90

A = 90 - B

Next we will substitute the value of ( A ) from the first equation into the second equation and solve for ( B ) as displayed below:

Equation No. 2 -

A = 2B + 12

( 90 - B ) = 2B + 12

- B - 2B = 12 - 90

- 3B = - 78

B = - 78 / - 3

B = 26°

Then we will substitute the value of ( B ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( A ) as displayed below:

A = 90 - B

A = 90 - ( 26 )

A = 64°

ANSWER:

Therefore, the answer is:

A = 64°

B = 26°

The perimeter of a square in which A=169cm square root 2?
sergey [27]
I'm guessing you mean:
A = 169 \sqrt{2}

If not, correct me. 

So, then the perimeter of a square is just 4*A, which in this case would be:
4(169 \sqrt{2}) = 676 \sqrt{2}

And that would be your answer: 676 \sqrt{2} units²
