Answer: the length of the longer side of the slab is 33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length(longer side) of the concrete slab.

Let W represent the width(shorter side) of the concrete slab.

The length of a concrete slab is three more than three times the width. This would be expressed as

L = 3W + 3

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = Length × Width

It's area is 330 square feet. This means that

LW = 330 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting L = 3W + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

W(3W + 3) = 330

3W² + 3W = 330

3W² + 3W - 330 = 0

Dividing through by 3, it becomes

W² + W - 110 = 0

W² + 11W - 10W - 110 = 0

W(W + 11) - 10(W + 11) = 0

W - 10 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 10 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 10

L = 3W + 3 = (3 × 10) + 3

L = 30 + 3 = 33

Answer:

Width: 10.5 feet

Length: 31.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the concrete slab.

We have been given that the length of a concrete slab is three more than three times the width. So length of the slab would be 3x.

We are also told that the area of slab is 330 square feet. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x\cdot 3x=330

3x^2=330

x^2=\frac{330}{3}

x^2=110

Now, we will take square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{110}

x=10.488\approx 10.5

Therefore, the width of slab is approximately 10.5 feet.

The length of the slab would be 3x\Rightarrow3(10.5)=31.5.

Therefore, the length of slab is approximately 31.5 feet.

Which relationship describes angles 1 and 2?
pav-90 [236]
Angles 1 and 2 are supplementary angels because they form a line.
Angles 1 and 2 are adjacent angles because they share an interior ray and they have a common vertex.

All about simulitious equations​
Korolek [52]

Answer:

On occasions you will come across two or more unknown quantities, and two or more equations

relating them. These are called simultaneous equations and when asked to solve them you

must find values of the unknowns which satisfy all the given equations at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The solution of a pair of simultaneous equations

The solution of the pair of simultaneous equations

3x + 2y = 36, and 5x + 4y = 64

is x = 8 and y = 6. This is easily verified by substituting these values into the left-hand sides

to obtain the values on the right. So x = 8, y = 6 satisfy the simultaneous equations.

2. Solving a pair of simultaneous equations

There are many ways of solving simultaneous equations. Perhaps the simplest way is elimination. This is a process which involves removing or eliminating one of the unknowns to leave a

single equation which involves the other unknown. The method is best illustrated by example.

Example

Solve the simultaneous equations 3x + 2y = 36 (1)

5x + 4y = 64 (2) .

Solution

Notice that if we multiply both sides of the first equation by 2 we obtain an equivalent equation

6x + 4y = 72 (3)

Now, if equation (2) is subtracted from equation (3) the terms involving y will be eliminated:

6x + 4y = 72 − (3)

5x + 4y = 64 (2)

x + 0y = 8

If m∠XWY = 20°, m∠XWZ = 40°, and XY = 16, what is the value of YZ?
Jobisdone [24]
YZ = 16. The triangles are congruent. This would be AAS so YZ = 16 because of CPCTC.
