x-\ width\\
y-\ length\\
4x=y\\
(y+4)(x-1)=60\\
(4x+4)(x-1)=60\\
4x^2-4x+4x+4=60\ \  | subtract\ 4\\
4x^2=56\ \ | divide\ by\ 4\\
x^2=14\\
x=\sqrt{14}\\
y=4\sqrt{14}\\\\
Dimensions:\ width=\sqrt{14}in,\ length=4\sqrt{14}in.

Alright! So to solve these questions, you need to find out the difference. You can use ratios to solve this. For example, question #25:

A class had 30 pupils at the beginning of this school term, but now has 5 more pupils. What is the percent of increase?

The question is basically asking how much 5 is in ratio to 30. So just divide 5 (the given amount) by 30 (the total amount). The answer is 0.16, or 16%

One angle of an isosceles triangle measures 138°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

2 21 degree angles

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosoles triangle has two congruent angles and every triangle's sum of interior angles equals 180 degrees. 138*2>180, so the 138 degree angle cannot be congruent to any of the other angles. Therefore:

180=138+2x

42=2x

21 degrees=x
