Answer:
a = x² + 3x - 40
Step-by-step explanation:
a = l * w
a = (x - 5)(x + 8)
a = x(x + 8) - 5(x + 8)
a = (x² + 8x) + (- 5x - 40)
a = x² + 3x - 40
It shoukd be A if im not mistaken
A = 1/2 * b * h
A = 178.5
b = h + 4
178.5 = 1/2 * (h + 4) * h
357 = h^2 + 4h
h^2 + 4h - 357 = 0
(h - 17)(h + 21) = 0
h - 17 = 0
h = 17
h + 21 = 0
h = -21 .....not this one because it is negative
b = h + 4
b = 17 + 4
b = 21
so the height is 17 inches and the base is 21 inches <==
Answer:
5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
5/6+5/12
or, {(5×2)+5}/12
or, 15/12 = 5/4
