Check the picture below

it can't be -3... since is width unit, so it has to be the other

and recall that length = 2w - 5

5 cm less than twice the width: 

l = 2w - 5

A = lw

33 = lw 

33 = (2w - 5)(w)

33 = 2w^2 - 5w

2w^2 - 5w - 33 = 0


w = 5.5, -3

-3 is an extraneous solution, so the only answer is w = 5.5

33 = 5.5l

\frac {33}{5.5} = ( \frac{5.5}{5.5})(l)


6 = l

The dimensions of the rectangle are a length of 6, and a width of 5.5

Which of the following must be true?
meriva

Answer:

BC < ED ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some facts in the triangle

- If one side of a triangle is longer than another side, then the angle

 opposite the longer side will be larger than the angle opposite the

 shorter side

- If one angle in a triangle is larger than another angle in a triangle,

 then the side opposite the larger angle will be longer than the side

 opposite the smaller angle

* Lets solve the problem

- In the two triangles BCD and DEB

∵ CD = 8 and BE = 8

∴ CD = BE

∵ Side BD is a common side in the two triangles

- The third side in Δ BCD is BC and the third side in DEB is DE

∵ BC is the opposite side to the angle of measure 24°

∵ ED is the opposite side to the angle of measure 30°

∵ The measure 24° < the measure 30°

∴ The side opposite to the angle of measure 24° < the side opposite

   to the angle of measure 30°

∵ The other two sides of the 2 triangles BCD and DEB are equal

∴ We can compare between the 3rd sides in the Δ BCD and Δ DEB

∴ BC < ED

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round to the nearest tenth.
miskamm [114]

Given:

A regular polygon with three vertices and side 14 cm.

To find:

Area of the regular polygon.

Solution:

We know that, a regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles.

The given regular polygon has three equal sides, it means it is an equilateral triangle.

The area of an equilateral triangle is:

A=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

Where, a is the side length of the triangle.

Putting a=14, we get

A=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(14)^2

A=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(196)

A=84.87049

A\approx 84.9

Therefore, the area of given regular polygon is 84.9 cm².

How many inches does the ramp rise for each inch of length? Round to the nearest hundredth.
laiz [17]

Answer:

The answer is B)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we look at what we know. There are two points on the graph that we know, (0, 0) and (15, 5). This can give us the slope of the line.

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 | Plug in our coordinates

5 - 0 / 15 - 0 | 5 / 15 | 1/3. Our slope is 1/3. This means that for each inch of length, the ramp rises .33 inches.
