Answer:

width=6cm, lenth is 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle be x cm

Twice width=2x cm

length=2x-5 cm

Area of the rectangle= L× W =42cm²

(2x-5) × x =42

x(2x-5)=42

2x²-5x-42=0

solving the quadratic equation

x=6cm

width=6cm

length= (2×6)- 5 =7cm

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula. 5 - 10x - 3x2 = 0
horsena [70]

Answer:

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 − 10x − 3x² = 0

Write in standard form:

-3x² − 10x + 5 = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

x = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

x = [ -(-10) ± √((-10)² − 4(-3)(5)) ] / 2(-3)

x = [ 10 ± √(100 + 60) ] / -6

x = (10 ± 4√10) / -6

x = (-5 ± 2√10) / 3

What is the surface area of this triangular prism rounded to the nearest tenth?
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

43.638 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangular prism has 5 faces - 3 rectangular and 2 congruent triangular. Calculate the area of each face then add them together to find the surface area.

The triangles are 5.3 by 1.26 so the area of the two is 6.678.

The largest rectangle face is 5.3 by 3.3 so the area is 5.3*3.3 = 17.49.

The side rectangle face that is 3.3 by 3.6 so the area is 3.3*3.6 = 11.88.

The side rectangle face that is 2.3 by 3.3 so the area is 2.3*3.3 = 7.59.

Add all the areas together.

6.678 + 17.49 + 11.88 + 7.59 = 43. 638
