12.7  
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily calculate the length of BC.
So: 
BC = sqrt(12^2 - 6^2) = sqrt(144 - 36) = sqrt(108) = 10.39230485  
Now consider triangle BCD. You know all three angles and one side. Using the law of sines you know that ratio of the sine of each angle over the opposite side is constant. So: 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90) 
sin(90)BC/sin(55) = CD 
1*BC/sin(55) = CD 
BC/sin(55) = CD 
10.39230485/0.819152044 = CD 
12.68666167 = CD 
12.7 = CD

Write each quadratic expression in standard form. Draw a diagram if needed.<br> (x+4)(x-1)
12345 [234]

Answer:

The standard form of the quadratic equation is x² + 3·x - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is a·x² + b·x + c = 0

Given that the expression of the quadratic equation is (x + 4)·(x - 1) = y, we can write the given expression in standard form by expanding, and equating the result to zero as follows;

(x + 4)·(x - 1) = x² - x + 4·x - 4 = x² + 3·x - 4 = 0

The standard form of the quadratic equation is x² + 3·x - 4 = 0

The graph of the equation created with MS Excel is attached
