The answer is 9 ft because if you subtract 6 from 9 you get 3 then when you multiply 9*3 you get 27 ft. I hoped this helped you!!

Hello :
x : the width y : The length y>x
xy = 27...(1)
y= x+6...(2)
subst in (1) : x(x+6) = 27
x² +6x -27 =0
Δ = 6²-4(1)(-27) =144= 12²
x1= (-6-12)/2 < 0 refused ( x>0 )
x2= (-6+12)/2 =3
in (2) : y = 3+6 = 9
The length is : 9 feet
the width is : 3 feet

Answer:

ok this the answer By definition, a rectangle is a parallelogram because its pairs of opposite sides are parallel. A rectangle also has the special characteristic that all of its angles are right angles; all four of its angles are congruent. The other special case of a parallelogram is a special type of rectangle, a square.

The vertices of xyz are x(-3,-6), Y(21,-6), and z(21,4). What is the perimeter of the triangle

xxTIMURxx [149]

Note that this a right-angled triangle with the right angle at Y.

Use coordinates of the point to find XY and YZ 

XY = 21 - (-3) 

= 24 

YZ = 4 - (-6) 

= 10 

Use Pythagoras theorem to XZ 

XZ = sqrt[24^2 + 10^2] 

= 26 

Perimeter = 26 + 24 + 10 

= 60

the volume of a cone with a height of 27cm and a radius of 13cm is 4748.36242611007.Then you round it to the nearest tenth which would be 4,778.4 which would be the answer

you work out that by v=PI radius squared height divided by 3

It's going to be kind of crazy, but you need to use Pythagorean's Theorem for this. That will look like this: $(2 \sqrt{x} +1)^2=( \sqrt{x} +1)^2+(2 \sqrt{x} )^2$ . FOIL out the left side to get $4x+4 \sqrt{x} +1$ . FOIL out the first of the 2 expressions on the right to get $x+2 \sqrt{x} +1$ , and the second of the 2 to get 4x. Our equation now looks like this: $4x+4 \sqrt{x} +1=x+2 \sqrt{x} +1+4x$ . Combine like terms to get an equation that still has square roots in it that we have to deal with: $4x-x-4x=-2 \sqrt{x}$ and $x=2 \sqrt{x}$ . We will square both sides to get rid of the square root sign. $x^{2} =2x$ . This is a polynomial now that can be factored to solve for x. Bring the 2x over by subtraction and set the polynomial equal to 0. $x^{2} -2x=0$ . Factor out an x, leaving us with x(x-2)=0. That means that x = 0 or x - 2 = 0 and x = 2. Of course if we are solving for the length of a side we know it can't have a side length of 0, so it must have a side length that is a multiple of 2. x = 2
