Answer:

<h2>11 rows.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The room contains 55 chairs arranged in rows.
  • The number of rows is one more than twice the number of chairs.

We know that the total number of chairs must be the product between the number of chairs per row and the total number of rows, which can be expressed as

c \times r = 55

Where c represents the number of chairs per row and r representes the number of rows.

The second given statment defined a second equation

r=2c+1

Now, we can substitute the second equation into the first one, and solve

c \times r = 55\\c (2c+1)=55\\2c^{2}+c-55=0

Which can be factored by multiplying the expression by 2, and solve has a perfect trinomial

2(2c^{2}+c-55)=0\\2^{2}c^{2}+2c- 110=0\\(2c)^{2}+2c-110=0

So, we need to find two number which product is 110 and is 1. If you think this through, those numbers are 11 and 10, because 11*10=110 and 11-10=1.

The factors are

\frac{(2c+11)(2c-10)}{2} =0, we have to divide by the number we multiplied before, then we simplify this number with the second factor

(2c+11)(c-5)=0

Where the positive solution is the only one that can be part of the answer because it doesn't make sense if we say -3 chairs. So,

c-5=0\\c=5

This means there are 5 chairs per row.

Then, we use this value to find the other one.

c \times r=55\\5 \times r=55\\r=\frac{55}{5}\\ r=11

Therefore, there are 11 rows and 5 chairs per row.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4 inches more than twice the length of the shorter leg. the length of the hy
Serjik [45]

The Pythagorean's Theorem for our situation would look like this:

shortleg^2+longleg^2=hypotenuse^2

So let's call the short leg s, the long leg l and the hypotenuse h. It appears that all our measurements are based on the measurement of the short leg. The long leg is 4 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is l=2s+4; the hypotenuse measure is 6 more than twice the short leg, so that expression is h=2s+6. And the short leg is just s. Now we can rewrite our formula accordingly:

s^2+(2s+4)^2=(2s+6)^2

And of course we have to expand. Doing that will leave us with

s^2+4s^2+8s+8s+16=4s^2+12s+12s+36

Combining like terms we have

5s^2+16s+16=4s^2+24s+36

Our job now is to get everything on one side of the equals sign and solve for s

s^2-8s-20=0

That is now a second degree polynomial, a quadratic to be exact, and it can be factored several different ways. The easiest is to figure what 2 numbers add to be -8 and multiply to be -20. Those numbers would be 10 and -2. Since we are figuring out the length of the sides, AND we know that the two things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length, -2 is not an option. That means that the short side, s, measures 10. The longer side, 2s+4, measures 2(10)+4 which is 24, and the hypotenuse, 2s+6, measures 2(10)+6 which is 26. So there you go!

Angles R and S are complementary. If angle R is = 4x - 20 and angle S = 6x - 7, then angle R measures ___ degrees.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

26.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 20 + 6x - 7 = 90

10x -27 =90

10x = 90+27

10x= 117

x = 11.7

so, the angle R = 4x-20 =4(11.7)-20

= 46.8-20 = 26.8°
