Answer:

w=10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a rectangle with an area of ​​140 square feet whose length (l) is 4 feet more than its width (w) and  knowing that rectangle area is base (b) by height (h) then:

A=b*h\\140ft^{2}= l*w \\

but, l=w+4ft;

140= (w+4)*w=w^{2}+4w\\w^{2}+4w-140=0

applying cuadratic equation

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}; where a=1, b=4 and c=-140

w1=10 and w=-14, we take w1 for being area values

finally:

width = 10 ft

Answer: width = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width

Let l be length and w be width

l = w + 4 ........equation (1)

From above formula

140 = l × w. ........equation (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

140 = (w+4) × w

w^2 + 4w= 140

w^2 + 4w - 140= 0

By factorization method

(w+14)(w-10)= 0

w=-14 or w= 10

So now width is 10 ft

From equation(1)

l=w+4

l= 10+4

l= 14 ft

Width = 10 ft and length = 14 ft

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

1) Tangent makes 90 degrees with the radius. Hence

a) Angle ABD = 90-angle BDC = 90-61.3 = 28.7

b) Triangle BCD is isosceles since tangents have equal length.

Hence angle BCD = 180-(61.3+61.3) = 57.4

c) Angle BDC = 57.4 (since triangle BCD is isosceles)

d) Angle BAC and Angle BCD are supplementary. Hence angle BAC = 122,6

-------------------------------------------

2) Arc length of minor arc BC = \frac{79.3}{360} (24) = 5.287

b) ARc length of minor arc = circumference -minor arc

= 18.713

---------------------------------------------

3) circumference = pi d = 3.14(9) = 28.26

Analyze the data represented in the table and select the appropriate model
Inessa05 [86]

Answer: Option B, a linear relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's analyze the points in the data:

the first 3 pairs are: (0,14.70) (10,19.03) and (20, 23.36)

We can see the differences between consecutive points and see if the relation is linear:

(10,19.03) -  (0,14.70) = ( 10 - 0, 19.03 - 14.70) = (10, 4.33) now we need to see the quotient: 4.33/10 = 0.433

(20, 23.36) - (10,19.03)  = (20 - 10, 23.36 - 19.03) = (10, 4.33), and the quotient is the same as before.

This means that the relation is a linear relation, where the slope os 0.433 and the x-intercept is 14.70, so the equation can be written as:

y(x) = 0.433*x + 14.70

Can the side lengths of 8, 9, and 12 form a triangle?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula you could do to check would be 8^2+9^2=12^2.

In this instance, 8^2 + 9^2 = 145 but 12^2 equals 144
