Answer:

10 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the area of the rectangle, w the width and L the length

● A = w*L

The length is 4 feet more that the width so L = w+4

● A = w ×(w+4)

● A = w^2 + 4w

The area is 60 ft^2

● w^2 + 4w = 60

Substract 60 from both sides

● w^2 + 4w - 60 = 0

This a quadratic equation

We will solve it by graphing it

The solution are 6 and -10 since the graph intersect with the x-axis in those points (pictures below)

The width is 6 feet long since it is a distance and a distance is always positive.

● w = 6

● L = w + 4

● L = 6 + 4

● L = 10

The width is 6 feet and the length is 10 feet

Anybody know the answer I need help. Please
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

  \dfrac{p^2+9p+2}{p^2-49}

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems like this require that you recognize that the denominator of the right term is a factor of the denominator of the left term. That is, you're supposed to know how to recognize and factor the difference of two squares.

  \dfrac{5-p}{49-p^2}+\dfrac{p+1}{p-7}=\dfrac{p-5}{p^2-49}+\dfrac{p+1}{p-7}\\\\=\dfrac{p-5}{(p-7)(p+7)}+\dfrac{p+1}{p-7}\cdot\dfrac{p+7}{p+7}\\\\=\dfrac{(p-5)+(p+1)(p+7)}{(p-7)(p+7)}=\dfrac{p-5+p^2+8p+7}{p^2-49}=\dfrac{p^2+9p+2}{p^2-49}

A cylinder with a 2 centimeter diameter is drilled through the triangular prism shown on the left find the volume of the prism
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The volume of a prism on its own = 248.5cm^3

The volume of a cylinder  = 87.92cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume does not change for the prism as the hole was drilled.

We can show the drilled space with v(l) and (p) for prism V

v(l) 248.5p - 87.92p + 87.92p

= 248.5p
