Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x: 
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4  & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

Let v1=(2,-6) and v2=(-4,7)
seropon [69]

The magnitude of each vector is the Pythagorean sum of its components.


a. |v1| = √(2² + (-6)²) = √40 = 2√10

|v2| = √((-4)² + 7²) = √65


b. To make each vector into a unit vector, divide each component by the vector's magnitude.

u1 = v1/|v1| = (2/(2√10), -6/(2√10))

u1 = (√10/10, -3√10/10)


u2 = v2/|v2| = (-4/√65, 7/√65)

u2 = (-4√65/65, 7√65/65)
