Area = length * width
length = (2 * width) - 1
$10 = l*w\\ 10=(2w-1)*w\\ 10=2w^{2}-w\\ 2w^{2}-w-10=0\\ (2w-5)(w+2)=0\\\\ 2w-5=0\\ 2w=5\\ w=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\\ w+2=0\\ w=-2$
Since length cannot be negative, w = -2 is not a solution. Thus, $\frac{5}{2}~ft$ is your width.
Since length = 2 * width - 1, plug in width:
$l=2(\frac{5}{2})-1\\ l=5-1\\ l=4~ft$

Can someone check if this is right and correct me if it’s not????

Answer:

No. it is not tangent to the circle ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

In any circle a tangent and a diameter are perpendicular at one end of the diameter

In the attached figure

∵ The line segment drawn from point A is passing through

the center of the circle

∴ This line segment is a diameter of the circle

∵ If AB is a tangent to the circle at point A

- That means the diameter and the tangent meet each other

at point A (one end of the diameter)

∴ AB and the diameter are perpendicular at point A

∴ m∠A = 90°

Now let us check if the lengths of the triangle formed a right angle triangle or not by using the inverse of Pythagoras Theorem

In a triangle if the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the triangle is a right triangle at the vertex which opposite to the longest side

∵ 17 is the longest side in the triangle

∵ The other two sides are 10.2 units and 6.8 units

∵ (17)² = 289

∵ (10.2)² + (6.8)² = 150.28

∴ (17)² ≠ (10.2)² + (6.8)²

∴ The triangle can not be a right triangle because the square

of the longest side is not equal to the sum of the squares of the

other two sides

∵ ∠A is opposite to the longest side

∴ m∠A ≠ 90°

∴ Line AB is not perpendicular to the diameter at A

∴ Line AB is not a tangent to the circle

A baker uses 3 muffin tins for 36 muffins. How many muffin tins does she use for 60 muffins? Enter your answer in the box.

Elena L [17]

Answer: She uses 5 muffin tins!

Step-by-step explanation:If she used 3 for 36 we can assume the muffin tins hold 12 muffins, so we can do 60 divided by 12 to get 5!

Please Help Me Asap I Need Units Too

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

Let's take this problem step by step:

To find the rate of change is essentially like finding a line's slope:

⇒ the x-values are the number of sodas

⇒ the y-values are the total costs

⇒ choose two sets of coordinates and find the slope

Let's put that into action

Choose any two points

⇒ (24, 18)

⇒ (28, 21)

Calculate Slope

$Rate_.of_.change = \frac{21-18}{28-24} =\frac{3}{4}$

Since the rate of change is total cost over number of sodas

⇒ unit is 'total cost/number of sodas'

Answer: 3/4 total cost/number of sodas

Hope that helps!
