Answer:

a = 7, b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is base * height. Here, the area of PQRS can be written as: <em>A = a * (9 + b)</em>, where <em>a</em> is the unknown base and <em>9 + b</em> is the unknown height. We set this equal to 84 because that's what's given:

a(9 + b) = 84 = 9a + ab (I just distributed)

Now, we can write the area of PXYS as: <em>a * b</em>, where <em>a</em> is the unknown base and <em>b </em>is the unknown height. (Note that we know <em>a</em> is also the base of PXYS because PQRS is a rectangle and XY is parallel to QR; thus XY = QR = <em>a</em>). We set this equal to 21 because that's the area given:

ab = 21

Now, we can just plug in this value to our first equation:

9a + ab = 9a + 21 = 84

Solving for a, we get a = 7. We plug this back into ab = 21 and find that b = 3.

Thus, our answer is: a = 7, b = 3

Answer:

a = 7 cm , b = 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

PXYS: a × b = 21

ab = 21

PQRS: a × (b + 9) = 84

ab + 9a = 84

21 + 9a = 84

9a = 63

a = 7

7b = 21

b = 3

Express x in terms of a and b: b−7x=a−b
pav-90 [236]
B - 7x = a - b
Subtract b from both sides.

-7x = a - 2b
Divide both sides by -7.

x = \frac{-a + 2b}{7}
