Area of a rectangle  =  length x height

Area = 135

Height = X

Lenght = x +6

135 = x * x+6

Simplify:

135 = x^2 +6x

Subtract 135 from both sides:

x^2 + 6x - 135 = 0

Solve:

2 numbers when added need to equal 6 and when multiplied equal -135

x = 9 and x = -15

The height can't be a negative number so the height is 9

Length =  9 +6 = 15

Height = 9cm, Length = 15 cm

Theo, Nancy, and Mary each drove separately to meet at Approximately how
Step2247 [10]

Mary's house is approximately 49.73 miles from her grandmother's house.

The distances the three drove were;

Mary drove for 49.73 miles, Theo drove 50 miles and Nancy drove 53.299 miles.

Explanation:

  • The given triangle has a 13 mile long adjacent side, a 48 mile long opposite side and the distance of Mary's route is the hypotenuse. As we have two sides of the triangle, we can solve for the length of the other side by using Pythagoras' theorem.
  • Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x miles. According to Pythagoras theorem, x = √(13² + 48²) , x = √169 + 2,304 x = √2,473 = 49.729. Rounding this off, we get Mary's route was 49.73 miles long.
  • Nancy drove √2,840 miles = 53.2916 miles.
  • So Mary drove the shortest distance of 49.73 miles, second shortest was Theo who drove for 50 miles and the longest was Nancy who drove for 53.299 miles.

The area of a isosceles trapezoid height of 8 base of 10 base of 15
ikadub [295]

Answer:

A = 100 un^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the area of a trapezoid formula:

A = \frac{h}{2}(a + b)

Now, substitute the values of the height and the bases:

A = \frac{8}{2}(10 + 15)

Finally, simplify the equation to solve for the area:

A = 4(25)

A = 100 un^{2}
