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.

<u>Answer:</u>

• Equation = 2(\frac{7}{4}w  + w) = 176

• length = 56 ft

• width = 32 ft

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The ratio of the length to width is 7:4.

∴ \frac{l}{w} = \frac{7}{4}

⇒ l = \frac{7}{4} w                 [Equation 1]

We know that the perimeter of the garden is 176 feet.

∴ 2(l + w) = 176

⇒ 2(\frac{7}{4}w  + w) = 176

⇒ \frac{7}{4} w + w = 88        [From Equation 1]

⇒ \frac{7 w + 4w}{4}  = 88

⇒ \frac{11w}{4} = 88

⇒ 11w = 352

⇒ w = \bf 32 \space\ ft

We know from Equation 1 that:

l = \frac{7}{4} w

∴ l = \frac{7}{4} (32)

⇒ l = \bf 56 \space\ ft

(15) Geometry Help plz

X = measure of angle 1
y = measure of angle 2
z = measure of angle 3
w = measure of angle 4

Focus on the bottom triangle. The three angles add to 180 degrees
(angle 2) + (angle 3) + 116 = 180
y+z+116 = 180
y+z= 180-116
y+z= 64

Since we have the bottom triangle as isosceles, this means that y = z, so
y+z = 64
y+y = 64
2y = 64
y = 64/2
y = 32
making z = 32 as well

Similarly, angle 1 and angle 4 are 32 degrees because the 116 angle is opposite the top left-most angle, and congruent to this angle. In other words, the bottom triangle is a mirror image of the top triangle.

The figure is a rhombus because all four sides are the same length (as shown by the tickmarks)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Answer: 
This figure is a rhombus
All four angles (angle 1 through angle 4) are the same measure. They are each 32 degrees

What’s 0.85 in simplest form
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the simplest form of 0.85 you need to turn it into a fraction.

To turn it into a fraction you put 85 over 100 since 0.85 is in the hundredths place.

85/100 can be simplified to 17/20 because 85/5 is 17 and 100/5 is 20
