The question is asking us to find the dimensions of the rectangle, which would be the length and width. So, to find this, we must first state our givens, as it is Geometry.
Given: Length of rectangle = 59 + twice the width, diagonal = 2 inches longer than the width

Let's first translate all our givens to numbers. We'll start off by assigning variables that are easy to work with (x, y and z). 
x = width
y = length
z = diagonal
Now that we have done that, we need to translate all our givens into numbers. Here is how that would look like:
y = 2x + 59      ←59 plus twice the width (x)
z = y + 2           ←Diagonal = 2 inches more than width
If we draw a diagram, we can see that the diagonal, length, and width all create a right triangle, which means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. By using right triangle postulates and theorems, we can deduce that the diagonal is the hypotenuse. Here is what our setup looks like:
x² + y² = z²
<em />Now, all we need to do is plug in the expressions we created for y and z:
x² + (2x + 59)² = [2 + (2x + 59)²]
When we solve for x, we get x = 20. Now, we just plug the x value back into the y equation to get 99. Therefore, the length equals 99 inches and the width equals 20 inches. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Express as a trinomial (3x+8) (x+10)
docker41 [41]

Answer:

3x^{2} +38x+80

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A trinomial is a expression consisting of three different terms

To turn this into a trinomial we multiply everything to each other

<u>                     3x                     </u>

3x * x = 3x^{2}

3x * 10 = 30x

<u>                     8                      </u>

8 * x = 8x

8 * 10 = 80

Now we put them all together in an equation

3x^{2} +30x+8x+80

Combine like terms

3x^{2} +38x+80

The answer is 3x^{2} +38x+80

Hope this helps!

12. (07.06 LC) A library building is in the shape of a rectangle. Its floor has a length of (3x + 5) meters and a width of (5x −
Goshia [24]

ANSWER

15 {x}^{2} + 22x - 5

EXPLANATION

It was given that, the length of the rectangular building is

(3x + 5) \: meters

and the width of the is

(5x - 1) \: meters

The area of a rectangular building is calculated using the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.

A = l \times w

Since the dimensions are given in terms of x, the area is also a function of x,

A(x) = (3x +5 )(5x - 1)

We expand to get,

A(x) = 3x(5x - 1) + 5(5x - 1)

A(x) = 15 {x}^{2}  - 3x + 25x - 5

A(x) = 15 {x}^{2} + 22x - 5
