Answer:
h=6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 1. The base of a rectangle is three feet longer than its height.
2.Are of the rectangle=54 square meters
Let us say the rectangle has height h and base(breadth) b.
Since, the base of the rectangle is three feet longer than the height, we have b=h+3.
Also, Area of the Rectangle= hb
therefore, 54=h(h+3)
54= h2+ 3h
h2+3h-54=0 (Subtract 54 from both the sides)
To find the value of h we have to solve the quadratic equation.
[We have the equation in the form ax2+bx+c=0, to factorise the equation-
Step1. Find two numbers such that their multiplication is equal to ac and their addition is equal to b.
Step2. Replace b with these numbers.
Step3. Simplify the equation]
So, h2+3h-54=0
h2+9h-6h-54=0
h(h+9)-6(h+9)=0
(h+9)(h-6)=0
Which gives-
h= -9 or h= 6
As h is the height of the rectangle, h can not be -9.
so h=6 feet
and b=h+3=9 feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 6 feet for the height and 9 feet for the base.
Hey, I think an image is needed to answer this question.
1) add.
for example -1 + -2 = - (||-1| + |-2||), which is -(1+2) or -3
2) subtract
for example 4 + -7 = -(||-7| + |4||), which is - |7 - 4| or -3
3) change
for example 3 - (- 2) = 3 + 2
4) -10
the sum is -10.25, which is closest to -10
Answer:
28.27cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
formula:
A=πr²
d = 2r
Solving for A
A=1/4π d² = 1/4 · π · 6² ≈ 28.27433cm²
rounded: 28.27cm²
hope this helped!
