The area of a rectangle is equal L x W

4 cm longer than it is wide L = 4 + W

L x W = 117 we replace L here

(4 + W ) x W = 117

4W + W ^2 = 117

4W + W ^2 -117 = 0
W ^2 +4 W -117 = 0

W² + 4W - 117 = 0


THEN u want to use the use the quadratic formula

OR Factoring gives us

(W + 13)(W - 9) = 0

W = -13 or 9

But it can't be negative, so

W = 9 and L= 9+4 = 13

Answer:

A = 119 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

side of square is (12√2)sin45 = 12

The portion of the diagonal that is NOT octagon is

12√2 - 12

There are four corner triangles. The sum of their areas is

(12√2 - 12)²

Area of the octagon is area of the square minus four corner triangle areas.

A = 12² - (12√2 - 12)²

A = 119.2935...

The graph below shows the line of best fit for data collected on the number of cell phones and cell phone cases sold at a local

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line is given by $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

and

slope (m) is given by:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Where (x_1,y_1) are the first set of point in the line and (x_2,y_2) is the second set of point

Let's take 2 points arbitrarily. (0,0) & (25,20)

Let's plug it and find the equation:

$m=\frac{20-0}{25-0}=0.8$

Now

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-0=0.8(x-0)\\y=0.8x$

C is the correct answer.

What is - 1/6 + (-7/4) this is 7th gradr math

DedPeter [7]

Hello Bubbleshi !

The first step you need to do is get everything in like terms.

- 1/6 and - 7 /4

Look at the denominator (number on the bottom)

6 and 4 go into 12, so lets check that out.

-1/6 , how can we get 12 from the denominator? Multiply it by 2.

So you multiply both the numerator (number on the top) and the denominator.

-1/6 becomes -2/12.

With -7/4, you want to get the 4 as a 12 (like terms!) so once again you multiply it by 3, and multiply the numerator as well.

-7/4 becomes -21/12.

-2/12 + (-21/12) is your final form of the problem.

You add -2 and -21 in the numerator, which is -23.

So its -23/12 which is your final answer.

Let me know if you need any more help!
