Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So the question here is asking you to use the quadratic formula which is expressed as: 
A quadratic can generally be expressed as: 
So using the equation you gave: 
We can identify the following values: a=1, b=-5, c=-1
Btw the equation explicitly write "1" as the coefficient of x, but since it's not provided it's implied that it's 1.
So plugging in the known values, we get the following equation:

The last step just consists of taking the + and - solution, and since it asks for exact solutions you leave the 29 under the radical, and you don't approximate. There is no further simplification that can be done here.
The perimeter of these can be found by adding length and width and then multiplying by two.
Rectangle A: (with all of the variables already doubled)
2x + 16 + 2x - 2
2x + 2x + 16 - 2
4x + 14
So rectangle A's perimeter is 4x + 14.
Rectangle B: (Still with all the variables already doubled)
8x + 10 + 6x - 4
8x + 6x + 10 - 4
14x + 6
So rectangle B's perimeter is 14x + 6
And now to subtract the two.
(7x + 3) - (4x + 14)
14x + 6 - 4x - 14
14x - 4x + 6 - 14
10x - 8
So it would be C.

Answer: a) BC = 1386.8 ft
b) CD = 565.8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the triangle,
AD = BD + 7600
BD = AD - 7600
Considering triangle BCD, we would apply the the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,
Tan 24 = CD/BD = CD/(AD - 700)
0.445 = CD/(AD - 700)
CD = 0.445(AD - 700)
CD = 0.445AD - 311.5 - - - - - - - -1
Considering triangle ADC,
Tan 16 = CD/AD
CD = ADtan16 = 0.287AD
Substituting CD = 0.287AD into equation 1, it becomes
CD = 0.445AD - 311.5
0.287AD = 0.445AD - 311.5
0.445AD - 0.287AD = 311.5
0.158AD = 311.5
AD = 311.5/0.158
AD = 1971.52
CD = 0.287AD = 0.287 × 1971.52
CD = 565.8 ft
To determine BC, we would apply the Sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as
Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse
Sin 24 = CD/BC
BC = CD/Sin24 = 565.8/0.408
BC = 1386.8 ft
