Answer:

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = (length)(width).

Let L represent the length and W the width.

Since L = W - 4, we have

Area of rectangle = (W - 4)W = 165 cm^2.

Thus, w^2 - 4W - 165 = 0.  We can solve for W using the quadratic formula:

a = 1, b = -4 and c = -165.  Thus,

        -(-4) ± √ [ (-4)² - 4(1)(-165) ]

W = ---------------------------------------

                        2

         4 ± √ [16 + 660 ]

W = ------------------------------

                       2

         4 ± √ [ 676 ]                    4 ± 26

W = -----------------------  =   W = -------------  =  W  = 2 ± 13

                  2                                  2

Thus, W is 2 + 13 = 15.  It cannot be negative, so we discard 2 - 13 = -11.

If the width, W, is 15, then the length is 4 less, or L = 11.

The dimensions are 11 cm by 15 cm

Another submarine descent can be represented as y= -240 x where y is the elevation and x is time in hours. How long will it take
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:e

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the submarine is given as y =-240x

Where y is the distance of the descent

x is the time in hours

and -240 is the rate of distance per unit time

To calculate how long it will take this submarine to reach the descent

x = y /-240

a 28 ft. ladder leaning against a vertical wall makes an angel of 80 degrees with the ground. How far from the base of the wall
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The ladder is 4.86 foot from the base of the wall .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The length of the ladder = 28 ft

The ladder makes angle of 80° with the ground

Let The distance of the ladder from the foot of the wall = x ft

Now, From Triangle BAC

Cos angle = \dfrac{\textrm Base}{\textrm Hypotenuse}

I.e Cos 80° = \dfrac{\textrm BA}{\textrm AC}

Or, 0.1736 =  \dfrac{\textrm x}{\textrm 28}

Or, x = 0.1736 × 28

∴  x = 4.86 foot

So, The distance of ladder from wall base = x =  4.86 foot

Hence The ladder is 4.86 foot from the base of the wall . Answer
