Length of the rectangle is 51 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that

Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

Need to determine length of the rectangle.

Let assume width of the rectangle be represented by variable x.

So 5 times width of the rectangle =5x

34 inches less than 5 times width of the rectangle = 5x – 34

As Length of the rectangle in 34 miles less than 5 times its width

=> Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34

<em><u>The formula for rectangle is given as:</u></em>

\text { area of rectangle }=length \times width

As given that Area of rectangle = 867 square inches

\begin{array}{l}{=>867=(5 x-34) \times(x)} \\\\ {=>5 x^{2}-34 x-867=0}\end{array}

On solving quadratic equation by using quadratic formula

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}

In our case a = 5, b = -34 and c = -867

On substituting value of a, b and c in quadratic formula we get

\begin{array}{l}{x=\frac{-(-34) \pm \sqrt{(-34)^{2}-4 \times 5 \times(-867)}}{2 \times 5}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34 \pm \sqrt{18496}}{10}=\frac{34+136}{10}} \\\\ {=>x=\frac{34+136}{10}=17 \text { or } x=\frac{34-136}{10}=-10.2}\end{array}

Since x represents width, it cannot be negative, so x = 17

Length of the rectangle = 5x – 34 = 5(17) – 34 = 51

Hence length of the rectangle is 51 inches

Answer: AC = 7√3

tan 30° = \frac{BC}{AC}

=> \frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }\\\\\=> AC=BC\sqrt{3} =7\sqrt{3}

Estimate the amount of gas left in this cars gas tank with a fraction
Rufina [12.5K]
It looks a little less than 1/2 or 4/8, so probably 3/8 of the gas is left.

There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 4 red marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it i
Morgarella [4.7K]

altogether there are 7 marbles in the bag.

put the marbles in fractions, so blue would be 3/7

and red would be 4/7. but becuase you need 2 of the same, you do

3/7 x 3/7 = 9/49

4/7 x 4/7 = 16/49

then add them togther

25/49

if you need it as a percentage, it is
