Answer:
Width=10
Length=18
Step-by-step explanation:
The length is 2 feet less then twice the width
Let the width be x.
Then the length is 2x -2 based on the given information. Use this to make an equation since it is known that the area is 180feet squared.
x(2x-2)=180
2x^2 - 2x - 180 = 0
2( x^2 - x - 90) = 0
We now have a factorable quadratic.
2(x+9)(x-10)=0
So by zero product property, x=-9, x=10 Since a measure cannot be negative, -9 is an extraneous solution.
So x=10
Then the width is 10 and the length is 18
Hope this helps! Let me know if it is correct!
Answer:
(x-7) (x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 3x - 28
What two numbers multiply to -28 and add to -3
-7*4 = -28
-7+4 = -3
(x-7) (x+4)
Answer:
x= -4/9

x + y = 24 where x and y are the 2 parts of diagonal Other diagonal wil be smaller that 24.
x^2 + z^2 = 13^2
y^2 + z^2 = 20^2 where z = 0.5 * length of smaller diagonal)
form last 2 equations
y^2 - x^2 = 20^2 - 13^2 = 231
now y = 24-x so we have
(24 - x)^2 - x^2 = 231
576 - 48x = 231
48x = 345
x = 7.1875
z^2 = 13^2 - 7.1875^2 = 117.34
z = 1.83
so smaller diagonal = 21.66 cm
looks like its the third choice.
