The area of a rectangular patio is (12x - 4) square units. What are possible dimensions of the patio?

1 answer:

4 0

You need two terms that multiply to (12x-4). The term on the outside needs to be a common multiple of 12 and 4. The common factors are 1, 2, and 4. Here are the following possible dimensions:
1(12x-4)
2(6x-2)
4(3x-1)
Hope this helps.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\\\2x^2+12x-14=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2+6x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2=9\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=7+9\\\\(x+3)^2=16\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\x+3=-4\ or\ x+3=4\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\x=-7\ or\ x=1$

A hexagonal pyramid is cut by a plane as shown in the diagram. What is the shape of the resulting cross section?

tiny-mole [99]

Cross section is a surface that is exposed after slicing or making a cut through an object. If a hexagonal pyramid is cut horizontally then the cross section should be an hexagon as well since the base is a hexagon. However, when it is cut vertically the resulting shape would be a triangle.
