Answer: Length = 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangle.

The width of a rectangle is 2 units less than the length. It means that the width of the rectangle is (L - 2) units.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the rectangle is 63 units. It means that

L(L - 2) = 63

L² - 2L = 63

L² - 2L - 63 = 0

L² + 7L - 9L - 63 = 0

L(L + 7) - 9(L + 7) = 0

L - 9 = 0 or L + 7 = 0

L = 9 or L = - 7

Since the length cannot be negative, then

L = 9 units

Width = 9 - 2 = 7 units

Find the area of a circle with a circumference of 3.14 units
Nadusha1986 [10]

ANSWER <u><em>0.784602</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

If the circumference of the circle is equal to 3.14 units, to find the area

The area of a circle can be calculated using the diameter or the radius with two different formulas: A = πr2 or A = π(d/2)2, where π is the mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14,r is equal to the radius, and d is the diameter.

(SAT Prep) Find the value of x.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

x = 155

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the missing angle in the smaller triangle.

We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 so 35 + 90 + the missing angle = 180 so 180 - (35+90) = 180 - 125 = 55

Since the line above is a straight line, the sum of the angles must equal 180 so 55 + 60 + ? = 180. So 180 - 115 = 65.

The triangle is a right triangle so that means on of the angles is 90. So 65 + 90 = 155, so we have 180 - 155 = 25.

The angle that x is on is also a straight line so that means the angles must add up to 180 so 180 - 25 = 155.
