Answer:

L=21.6in and w=13.6

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 8 inches longer than its width, we can write the width as "w" and the length as the width w+ 8

Area is (width)(Length) = (width)(width+8)

W

----------

| |

| |

| | L = w+8

| |

| |

-----------

A = (w+8)(w)

A = w2 + 8w = 295.

(Problem states that area is 295 sq in)

Need to solve this quadratic equation

w2 +8y - 295 = 0

Factor:

(w - 13.64) (w + 21.64) = 0

So

w - 13.64 = 0. or. w + 21.64= 0

Solve these and get

w = 13.64. or. w = -21.64

Only one that makes sense in real life is the poitive one.

So the dimensions are

Width = 13.64 inches

Length = 21.64 inches

1/5 of a foot

Simply subtract the height of Pancho’s sandcastle (3/5 of a foot) minus the height of his sister’s sandcastle (2/5 of a foot) to find a difference of 1/5 of a foot, meaning Pancho’s sandcastle was 1/5 of a foot taller than his sister’s sandcastle.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllppp​

Answer:

120 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180. You have two of the angles given:

50 degrees and 70 degrees

To find the third angle of the triangle (BAC), use the expression:

180 - (50 + 70)

180 - 120

60

So, the third angle in the triangle is 60 degrees. Looking at angle DAB, you can see that it forms a straight line with angle BAC. A straight line is 180 degrees. Since we know BAC is 60, and BAC + DAB = 180, by doing 180 - 60, you can see that angle DAB is 120 degrees.
