Mathematics

Answer:

length = 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

L = w+7

Area = l*w

198 = (w+7) (w)

Distribute

198 = w^2 +7w

Subtract 198 from each side

0 = w^2 +7w -198

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -198 and add to 7

18* -11 = -198

18+-11 = 7

0=(w+18) (w-11)

Using the zero product property

w+18 =0  w-11=0

w= -18   w=11

We cannot have negative width  so w=11

We want the length

l = w+7

l = 11+7 = 18

What is the lateral area of the rectangular prism? Assume the prism is resting on its base.
garri49 [273]
<span>A rectangular prism has four lateral surfaces. If the sides of the base are L and W, two of the lateral surfaces are rectangles of side L and H, and the other two are rectangles of sides W and H. Then, the lateral area is the sum of the areas of the four lateral rectangles: 2 * L * H + 2 * W * H= 10 * 4 = 2 * 10 * 4 + 2 * 5 * 4 = 2*40 + 2 * 20 = 80 + 40 = 120.</span>

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{4} x

The equation of a line passing through the origin (0, 0 ) is

y = mx ( where m is the slope )

m = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{3}{4}, thus

y = \frac{3}{4} x
