Answer:

The measurement of the diagonal is NOT CORRECT.

So, Mr. Winston is in trouble.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the rectangular room = 14 ft

The width of the room  = 13 ft

Let us assume the length of the diagonal  = m

Now,a s the room is a rectangle so, by PYTHAGORAS THEOREM:

(LENGTH)^2 + (WIDTH)^2 = (DIAGONAL)^2

⇒(14)^2 + (13)^2 = (m)^2\\\implies m = \sqrt{196 +  169}  = \sqrt{365} = 19.10

or, the length of the diagonal of the room is 19.10 ft

But here, given the sun room had a diagonal measurement of 20 ft.

Hence, the measurement of the diagonal is NOT CORRECT. So, Mr. Winston is in trouble.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x=5   x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to 15 and add to -8

-5*-3 = 15

-5-3 = -8

(x-5)(x-3) =0

Using the zero product property

x-5 =0    x-3 =0

N^2+100=20n<br><br> Please show work
adell [148]
Subtract 20n from both sides of the equation.
n^2+100-20n=0
factor using the perfect square rule.
(n-10)^2=0
set the n-10 equal to 0.
n-10=0
add 10 to both sides of the equation.
n=0
