So.. hmm notice the picture here

we know the length is 59 more than twice the width,
twice the width, 2 * w, or 2w
59 more than that
2w + 59

we also know that, whatever that is, the diagonal of it is,
2 more inches than that, or
(2w + 59) + 2

now.. use the pythagorean theorem
\bf c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \qquad 
\begin{cases}
a=2w+59\\
b=w\\
c=(2w+59)+2\to 2w+61
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(2w+61)^2=(2w+59)^2+(w)^2
\\  \qquad\qquad \uparrow\qquad \qquad\qquad \qquad \uparrow  \\
\textit{expand using binomial theorem, or FOIL}

you'd end up with a quadratic, after simplifying, solve for "w"

The following triangles are similar. Find side AB.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up ratios of corresponding sides.  x+2 is to 6 as 2 is to 3:

\frac{x+2}{6}=\frac{2}{3}

Now cross multiply to get

3(x + 2) = 12 and

3x + 6 = 12 so

3x = 6 and

x = 2.  That means that side AB, x + 2, is 2 + 2 which is 4

3,989.237
A thousandth = 1/1000 = 0.001
Round 4th decimal place = 5
5 and over is rounding up and under 5 rounds down so it would be 3,989.237
