x^2 - 8x + 5 = 0\\ x^2-8x+16-11=0\\ (x-4)^2=11\\ x-4=\sqrt{11} \vee x-4=-\sqrt{11}\\ x=4+\sqrt{11} \vee x=4-\sqrt{11}

First, let's move the 5 to the other side by subtracting both sides by 5. That leaves us with:

x^2 - 8x = -5

The constant on the left side to make a binomial square should be (8/2)^2 = 16. Add 16 to both sides and you get: x^2 - 8x + 16 = 11

(x - 4)^2 = 11

Square root both sides:

(x - 4) = +/- sqrt (11)

Add 4 to both sides:

x = +/- sqrt (11) + 4

The 4 should be outside the square root.

These two rectangles are similar. Which is a correct proportion for corresponding sides?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

option (2) is correct.

\frac{4}{8}=\frac{12}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two similar rectangles and with dimension of sides,

we have to choose the correct proportion for corresponding sides.

Since, the rectangles given are similar rectangles.

So, the corresponding sides are in same proportion in case of similar figures,

So,  

\frac{4}{8}=\frac{12}{x}

Thus, option (2) is correct.
