Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

Why did I get this question wrong?
Talja [164]

Answer:

9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

M₄ means the area using 4 rectangles with heights equal to the function evaluated at the midpoints.

The width of each rectangle is (4−0)/4 = 1.

The area of each rectangle is:

M₁ = (1) (1.12) = 1.12

M₂ = (1) (1.80) = 1.80

M₃ = (1) (2.69) = 2.69

M₄ = (1) (3.64) = 3.64

The total area is therefore:

M = 1.12 + 1.80 + 2.69 + 3.64

M = 9.25
