The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Identify the polygon and classify it as regular or irregular.

Ray Of Light [21]

A regular hexagon has sides that are all congruent and angles that all measure 120 degrees. This means the angles of a regular hexagon add up to 720 degrees. ... An irregular hexagon has sides that are not the same measurement and can have points facing inward as well as outward.

Find the solution to this system of equations <br> 3x+2y+3z=3 4x-5y+7z=1 2x+3y-2z=6 <br> x=? Y=? Z=?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The solution is $x=2,\ y=0,\ z=-1.$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the system of three equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}3x+2y+3z=3\\4x-5y+7z=1\\2x+3y-2z=6\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the first equation by 4, the second equation by 3 and subtract them. Then multiply the third equation by 2 and subtract it from the second equation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}3x+2y+3z=3\\4(3x+2y+3z)-3(4x-5y+7z)=4\cdot 3-3\cdot 1\\4x-5y+7z-2(2x+3y-2z)=1-2\cdot 6\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \\\\\left\{\begin{array}{l}3x+2y+3z=3\\12x+8y+12z-12x+15y-21z=12-3\\4x-5y+7z-4x-6y+4z=1-12\end{array}\right.$

So,

$\left\{\begin{array}{rl}3x+2y+3z=3\\23y-9z=9\\-11y+11z=-11\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}3x+2y+3z=3\\23y-9z=9\\y-z=1\end{array}\right.$

Multiply the third equation by 23 and subtract it from the second equation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{rl}3x+2y+3z=3\\23y-9z=9\\23y-9z-23(y-z)=9-23\cdot 1\end{array}\right.\Rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{rl}3x+2y+3z=3\\23y-9z=9\\23y-9z-23y+23z=9-23 \end{array}\right.$

Hence,

$\left\{\begin{array}{rl}3x+2y+3z=3\\23y-9z=9\\14z=-14 \end{array}\right.\Rightarrow z=-1$

Substitute it into the second equation:

$23y-9\cdot (-1)=9\Rightarrow 23y+9=9\\ \\23y=0\\ \\y=0$

Substitute them into the first equation:

$3x+2\cdot 0+3\cdot (-1)=3\Rightarrow 3x-3=3\\ \\3x=6\\ \\x=2$

The solution is $x=2,\ y=0,\ z=-1.$
