The length of a rectangle is 3 units more than the width. The area of the rectangle is 40 units. What is the length, in units, o

f the rectangle?

4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle be x units

Length of the rectangle = x+3 units

Area of the rectangle= 40 sq. units

x(x+3)=40

x²+3x-40= 0

x²+8x-5x-40=0

x(x+8)-5(x+8)=0

(x+8)(x-5)=0

x= -8 or, x= 5

Length or width can never be negative

Therefore,x= 5units

Width =5 units

Length=5+3=8 units

The solution to the problem and how would I work it out?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

x >=5  or x <=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve an absolute value inequality

3|x-1| >= 12

Divide each side by 3

3/3|x-1| >= 12/3

|x-1| >= 4

Now there are two solutions

x-1 >= 4   or x-1 <= -4

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 >= 4+1   or  x-1+1 <= -4+1

x >=5  or x <=-3

How do I find the answers to 17, 19, and 20?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

17. 6

18. 18 (as shown)

19. 10/3 = 3 1/3

20. 20/3 = 6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

17. For this, you can subtract the given length GB=12 from the length you found for problem 18, BF=18. Doing that tells you FG = 18-12 = 6, as you have marked on the diagram.

19. As with median BF, the point G divides it into two parts that have the ratio 1:2. The distance from G to D is the shorter of the distances, so you have ...

... GD = (1/3) CD = (1/3)·10 = 10/3

... GD = 3 1/3

20. You can subtract GD from CD to get CG, or you can multiply CD by 2/3. The result is the same either way.

... CG = CD -GD = 10 -3 1/3

... CG = 6 2/3

_____

<em>Comment on centroid and median</em>

The centroid (G) divides each median into parts in the ratio 1:2. Hence the shorter of those parts is half the length of the longer one, or 1/3 the total length of the median.

The longer of the parts is double the length of the shorter one, or 2/3 the total length of the median.

Your marking of median BF seems to show an understanding of these relationships. (Total length: 18; length of parts: 6 and 12.)
