15^2+x^2=17^2
225+x^2=289
289-225=64
x^2=64
x=8

Hypotneuse² = leg²+leg²

17² = x²+15²

x² = 289-225

x = √64

x = 8

If the length of a rectangle is x-2 and its area is 2x3 – 8x2 + 2x+12, it’s width would be what?

hram777 [196]

Width would have to be a quadratic
Use long division to find the other factor of the cubic polynomial P (x).
P (x) factors in case it is reducible over R[x]
if it weren't then P (x) mod R [x] would be a field
otherwise you could use the Eisenstein Criterion.

The perimeter of the rectangle below is 84 unit . Find the length side of XY

lesya [120]

Answer:

25 unit

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the missing figure.

Assuming the complete question is:

Side UY = 4z-1

Side UV = 5z+3

Perimeter of rectangle is given by:

2UY+2UV=P

2(4z-1)+2(5z+3)=84

8z-2+10z+6=84

18z+4=84

18z = 84 -4 =>

18z = 80

z= 4.45 unit

Side UV = 5z+3 => 5(4.45) + 3

Side UV ≈ 25 unit

SInce, Side UV = Side XY

Side XY≈ 25 unit
