Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

Let W represent the width of the rectangle.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = LW

The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that

LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1

The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that

L = W + 2

Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes

W(W + 2) = 143

W² + 2W - 143 = 0

W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0

W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0

W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0

W = - 13 or W = 11

Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11

L = W + 2 = 11 + 2

L = 13

How do you estimate 1,374×6
san4es73 [151]
The best estimate for 1,374 is 1,400 and the best estimate for 6 is 10. This is because anything that is 5 and above you change it. Example: 16 the best estimate for 16 is 20 because 6 is above 5. And when a number is 4 and below you change the number below. Example: 12 the best estimate for 12 is 10 because 2 is below 4. And when the number is perfect like 10, you can keep the number the same. Example:10,20,30,40,50,60etc.

What is the length of BC?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves trigonometry. Since we need to find the value of a, we need to find a trig equation with a as the numerator. Luckily, we have one, tan. So, tan(20) is equal to a/6, right. So, using a calculator, tan(20) is approximately equal to 0.363. This times 6 should equal a. This is approximately around 2.1. Thus our answer is 2.1

7x - 20 = 2x - 3(3x + 2)
kirill [66]

Answer:

7x-20=2x-3(3x+2)

We move all terms to the left:

7x-20-(2x-3(3x+2))=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(2x-3(3x+2)), so:

2x-3(3x+2)

We multiply parentheses

2x-9x-6

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x-6

Back to the equation:

-(-7x-6)

We get rid of parentheses

7x+7x+6-20=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

14x-14=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

14x=14

x=14/14

x=1
