of the rectangle?

Answer:

Length = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x units

Length = (x + 4) units

Area = 32 square units

length * width = 32

(x +4) *x = 32

x *x + 4 * x = 32

x² + 4x  -32 = 0

Sum = 4

Product = -32

Factor = 8 , (-4)

x² + 4x  -32 = 0

x² + 8x - 4x - 4 * 8 = 0

x(x + 8) - 4(x +8) = 0

(x + 8) (x - 4) = 0

(x + 8) is ignored because measurements will not have negative sign.

x-4 =0

x = 4

Width = 4 units

Length = x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8 units

Answer:

<h2>Yes. It's a right triangle.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If a ≤ b < c are the length of the sides of a right triangle, then

a² + b² = c².

We have:

a =30 ft, b = 40 ft and c = 50 ft.

Check the equality:

L = 30² + 40² = 900 + 1600 = 2500

R = 50² = 2500

L = R

What is the value of x?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, thus

x² + 6² = 10²

x² + 36 = 100 ( subtract 36 from both sides )

x² = 64 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{64} = 8

Does 17/10 and 12/5 form a proportion?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

17/10 is not proportional to 12/5. Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.  17/10 as a ratio is 17:10 and 12/5 as a ratio would be 12:5. A proportional relationship for 12/5 would be 24/10.

Hope this helps :)

The distance between Columbus,Ohio and New York City is about 560 miles how many hours would it take the train to travel between
sergey [27]
Since the distance is 560 miles and the bus goes 268 miles per hour, the answer can be given as:
If 268=1 hour
  560=?
560/268*1 hour =2(rounded to nearest ones)
Therefore it will take the train approximately 2 hours to travel between both cities.
