Given : A = 24 sq feet
A = 0.5 base x height
base = x , height = x+2
A = 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 sq feet
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
To check the rest un-wrap the bracket:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 24
x^2 + x^2 + 4 + 4x = 24
2x^2 + 4x - 20 = 0
x^2 + 2x - 10= 0 (NO)
Likewise:
x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 100
x^2 + x^2 +4 + 4x = 100
2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 100
2x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
To sum up: that's what apply:
1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A)
2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)
3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)
The number of intersections is the number of solutions
we can see they are paralell so they will never intersect
0
C is the answer
it’s a because you need all those figures to make it happen
