2x² - 17 = 15

2x² = 15 + 17

2x² = 32

x² = 32/2

x² = 16

x = ±√16

x' = 4

x'' = -4

tyler has a rectangular garden measuring 12m by 20 m that he wants to split diagonally from corner to corner using a fence. how

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

23.3

(or $4\sqrt{34}$ (let me know if you wanted this one and is you want it explained) lol)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the fence, use the Pythagorean theorem because, if you cut a rectangle diagonally, you will create two right triangles, and this formula only works with right triangles:

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

Insert values:

$12^{2} +20^{2} =c^{2}$

Solve for c:

Evaluate exponents

$144+400=c^2$

Simplify addition

$544=c^2$

Find the square root of both

$\sqrt{544} =\sqrt{c^2}\\\\\sqrt{544} =c\\\\23.324=c\\\\c=23.3$

The fence needs to be approximately 23.3 m.

Is figure B a scaled copy of figure A

artcher [175]

We know scale factor(k)=y/x

Calculate units as 1 and find k

For left side

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=\dfrac{5}{3}$

For base

$\\ \sf\longmapsto k=\dfrac{4}{4}=1$

Hence its not a copy
