<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

Width = 7

Length = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the width value:

Because the length is 8cm bigger than the width(x), this can be shown by:

Length = x + 8

If you recall the equation for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

Simply plug the known values in:

105 = (x + 8) * x

(x * x) + (8 * x) = 105

x² + 8x = 105

Move the +105 to the other side making it a -105, meaning that this is now a quadratic:

x² + 8x - 105 = 0

Factorise this:

(x + 15) ( x - 7)

So x = -15 or x = 7

X has to be 7 because you cannot have a negative measurement.

This means that:

The width = 7

And the length = 7 + 8 = 15

The roots of a quadratic equation are (1,0) and (-5,0). What is the axis of symmetry?
leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry lies exactly halfway between the given x = 1 and x = -5.

The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

The 'halfway' value is also the 'average' of 1 and -5:  -4/2, or -2.

The axis of symmetry is x = -2.

Hi there!

\large\boxed{h = \frac{15x}{y}}

Recall the volume of a pyramid is:

V = 1/3(bh)

We are given the volume and side length of the base. Find the area of the base:

A = s²

A = (5xy²)² = 25x²y⁴

Plug in the solved for base:

125x³y³ = 1/3(25x²y⁴)h

To isolate for h, begin by multiplying both sides by 3:

375x³y³ = (25x²y⁴)h

Divide both sides by 25x²y⁴. Use the following exponent property:

xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ

Thus:

375x³y³ / 25x²4⁴ = 15x/y.

The height must be equal to:

h = \frac{15x}{y}
