One side of a rectangle is 2 m shorter than another side. The area is 360 m2. Write a quadratic equation and solve it to find th

e length of the longer side of the rectangle

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the side = x

So, other side = x - 2

Area = 360 sq.m

x*(x - 2) = 360

x*x - x * 2 = 360

x² - 2x -360 = 0

x² + 18x - 20x  - 18*20 = 0

x(x +18) - 20*(x + 18 ) = 0

(x + 18)(x -20) = 0

{x + 18 is ignored as measurement will not be a negative number}

x - 20 = 0

x = 20

Length of the longer side = 20 m

What is the value of log(x exponent 2 y exponent 3 divided by z) when given the following:
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

B. 13

Explanation:

\sf\:Given\:expression: log(\dfrac{x^2 y^3}{z} )

Logarithm rules:

\sf (i)  \ \sf log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)\\ \\ (ii) \  log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)\\\\ (iii) \ log(a^n) = n log(a)

Breakdown of the expression:

\rightarrow \sf log\left(\dfrac{x^2y^3}{z}\right)

\rightarrow \sf log\left(x^2\right) + log\left(y^3\right) - log(z)

\rightarrow \sf 2\log\left(x\right)+3\log \left(y\right)-\log \left(z\right)

insert given values

\rightarrow \sf 2(3)+3(2)-(-1)

\rightarrow \sf 13
