Answer:
x = 28/3
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem by using similar triangles:
Both of these triangles have a 90 degree angle and they share angle A, meaning that they are similar by AA similarity.
Now we can set up ratios and solve:
13/7 = (x+8)/x
multiply both sides by x:
13x/7 = x+8
Multiply both sides by 7:
13x = 7x + 56
move the 7x over and divide by 6:
6x = 56
x = 28/3
The length can be 18 and the width can be 2.
18 x 2 = 36
Or the length can be 12 and the width can be 3.
12 x 3 = 36
The length can also be 9 and the width can be 4.
9 x 4 = 36
Answer:
a=-8 b=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+6x-16
x^2+(8-2)x-16=0
x^2+8x-2x-16=0
X(X+8)-2(X+8)=0
(X+8)(x-2)=0
Compare with (X+a)(X+b)
Where we get a=-8 b=2
