Answer:

Width is 10ft and length is 6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a shape is the amount inside a shape. It is found using multiplication or A = l*w. Since the width is w and the length is 4ft less than its width or w - 4, use these expressions in the area formula to find their amount.

A = l*w\\60 = w(w -4)\\60 = w^2-4w

Subtract 60 from both sides and factor the quadratic to solve for w.

w^2 -4w - 60 = 0\\(w-10)(w+6) = 0

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 10 = 0 so w = 10

w + 6 = 0 so w = -6.

Since w represents a length or distance it cannot be negative, this means the width is 10. The length which is w - 4ft is 10 -4 = 6. The length is 6 ft.

Given that triangle ABC is a right triangle, select a set of possible side length measures.
ad-work [718]

You didn't supply any rules or constraints so.... 1 in., 1 in., and 1 in.

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if the side lengths are appropriate.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

1^2 + 1^2 = 1^2 –this is true.

Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister. She determines that she can pay her back the total over six months. Which number reflects
omeli [17]

Answer:

$14.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister to pay her back in 6 months.

let us solve for the amount she is to pay her sister every month.

amount to be paid per month= 89.40/6

=$14.9

So that every month she pays back her sister $14.9

we don't know her balance but every month there will be a deduction.

Hence the monthly change in her balance is reflected by a deduction of $14.9

Solve for y, 2y=-4x-14
BabaBlast [244]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    y = 2x - 7

Discussion:

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

2y /2  = (4x-14)/2 = 4x/2 -14/2

or


y = 2x - 7

Thank you,

MrB

What is the slope of the line which passes through (−2, 0) and (0, 4)? (5 points) 2 Undefined −2 0
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The answer is option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply Gradient formula :

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

let \: (x1 \: , \: y1) \: be \: ( - 2 \: , \: 0)

let \: (x2 \: , \: y2) \: be \: (0 \: , \: 4)

m = \frac{4 - 0}{0 - ( - 2)}

m =  \frac{4}{2}

m = 2

Is the expression 3x^2-5x^3 a Polynomial? If yes, what is the degree?
Paraphin [41]

Answer: The answer is: it is a fifth degree binomial or 'quintic binomial'.

Step-by-step explanation:

Is the expression 3x^2-5x^3 a polynomial?

So, we have to know what polynomial means. A polynomial is... "an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables."

So let's take a look at this expression.

Does it consist of variables and coefficients? YES

Does it only involve operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables? YES

Therefore, it is a polynomial.

Now, we have to figure out what degree this polynomial is.

The degree of the polynomial is the degree of the monomial with the largest degree.

So the largest degree would be the 3rd degree, because it is, of course, the largest out of the two powers listed.

And also, keep in mind that this is a binomial (made up of two monomials).

Therefore, it is a fifth degree binomial or 'quintic binomial'.
