Answer:
205 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is (6w-17) and the area is ...
A = LW
7585 = (6w-17)(w)
6w² -17w -7585 = 0
Perhaps most straightforward is using the quadratic formula to solve this.
For ax² +bx +c = 0, the solution is x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a). For the above quadratic, the solution is ...

The width is 37 feet, so the length is ...
6(37) -17 = 205 . . . feet
The length of the rectangle is 205 feet.
Answer:
34
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles 3 and 7 are corresponding angles. When the lines defining the base of the corresponding angles are parallel (as in this case where a is parallel to b), then the angles are equal.
That's the heavy duty definition. It just means that corresponding angles in parallel lines are equal.
So if <3 = 34 degrees, then <7 = 34 degrees.
The answer is A) -4/25 because when you multiply 8/15 and -3/10, you can simplify the expression to 4/5 times -1/5, which equals -4/25.
