The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 10 3/4 ft.

The width will be the difference between this and the length, hence 5 1/2 ft.

The area is the product of length and width.
  A = length×width
  A = (5.25 ft)×(5.5 ft) = 28.875 ft²

The area of the sandbox is 28 7/8 ft².

Solve for x 14 x square+7x-6
irina [24]

Answer:

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

Step-by-step explanation:

14x² + 7x - 6

→ Find the product, sum and factors

Product = -6

Sum = 7

Factors = No factors

→ Since there are no factors utilise the quadratic formula

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

→ List the values of a, b and c

a = 14

b = 7

c= -6

→ Substitute into the formula

\frac{-7+-\sqrt{7^{2}-4*14*-6} }{2*14}

→ Simplify

x=0.450765 or x=−0.950765

A triangle 45 – 45 – 90 degree (or isosceles right triangle) is a triangle with angles of 45°, 45°, and 90° and sides in the ratio of 1:1:√2

if hypo  = 3√2 then side = 3
answer
a = b = 3

-------------------
<span>30-60-90 Triangle
</span>long leg = short leg times √3
hypo = twice the short leg

given long leg = 5√3
so

short leg = b = 5
hypo = c = 2(5) = 10

How to solve for 4d-7=25/4
RideAnS [48]

4d-7=25/4

Add 7 to both sides

4d-7+7=25/4 +7

4d=53/4

Divide both sides by 4

4d/4= 53/4/4

d= 53/16
