The length of a garden is 5m greater than the width. the area is 66m^2. Find the dimensions of the garden.

1 answer:

8 0

W^2+5w-66=0
Factor
(w+11)(w-6)=0

w+11=0
w=-11 (not possible - cant have negative length

w-6=0
w=6

L(6)=66
L=11

Width = 6
Length = 11

Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of LaTeX: \overline{P

alukav5142 [94]

Question:

Triangles PQR and RST are similar right triangles. Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of PR is equal to the slope of RT?

Answer:

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question

From the attachment, we have that:

$P = (-7,7)$

$Q = (-7,3)$

$R = (-4,3)$

$S = (-4,5)$

$T = (2,-5)$

First, we need to calculate the slope (m) of PQR

Here, we consider P and R

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

Where

$P(x_1,y_1) = (-7,7)$

$R(x_2,y_2) = (-4,3)$

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

$m = \frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)}$ --------- (1)

Next, we calculate the slope (m) of RST

Here, we consider R and T

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

Where

$R(x_1,y_1) = (-4,3)$

$T (x_2,y_2)= (2,-5)$

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

$m = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$ ---------- (2)

Next, we equate (1) and (2)

$\frac{3 - 7}{-4 - (-7)} = \frac{-5 - 3}{2 - (-4)}$

From the list of given options (see attachment), option A answers the question

Isaiah brought two dozen donuts to a class party. Half of the donuts had vanilla frosting with sprinkles, 2 had strawberry frost

enot [183]

Answer:

22/24

ALL TOGETHER there is 24 donuts.

take half of 24, or 24 divided by 2, and you get 12.

so we know 12 of the donuts are vanilla with sprinkles.

then 2 had strawberry frosting and the rest had chocolate and sprinkles.

we took 12 away so we only have twelve left and if 2 of those 12 are strawberry with no sprinkles and the rest are chocolate WITH sprinkles, this means 10 are chocolate with sprinkles.

so 10 chocolate and sprinkles +12 vanilla and sprinkles=22 donuts with sprinkles out of 24 donuts total

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

4x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4(x - 6 {)}^{2} }{(x - 6)}$

$4(x - 6) = 4x - 4 \times 6 = 4x - 24$

$4x - 24$
