What is the side length of a square with an area of 144x^2?

1 answer:

6 0

To answer this, we need to know the expression for the area of a square which is the square of its side length or:

Area = a²

Solving for the side length,

a = √area
a = √144x²
a = 12x

Therefore, the side length is 12x.

Use long division or synthetic division to find the quotient of 2x^3+x^2+1 / x+1

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The quotient is 2x^2 - x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x + 1 is the divisor in long division, then -1 is the divisor in synthetic division:

-1 / 2 1 0 1

-2 1 -1

----------------------

2 -1 1 0

The quotient is 2x^2 - x + 1. The coefficients were obtained through synthetic division.

Find the surface area of composite figure. use 3.14 for π. round to the nearest tenth

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

334 in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area = area of the top prism + area of the bottom - 2 * area of the base of the top smaller prism

= 2(5*3 + 5*3 + 3*3) + 2(9*7 + 9*5 + 7*5) - 2* 3*5

= 2* 39 + 2*143 - 30

= 334

Please help and show work if you can

laila [671]

Answer:

25. a = 60

26. a = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

In these two problems we are going to use a property of parallelograms that says: opposite angles have equal measure

so we have

25.

$6a+10=130\\\\6a=130-10\\\\6a=120\\\\a=60$

and for 26 we have

$4a-4=2a+30\\\\4a=2a+30+4\\\\4a=2a+34\\\\4a-2a=34\\\\2a=34\\\\a=17$

Andrew fish tank holds 144 gallons of water. To clean the tank, he drains the water at a rate the water at a rate of 6 gallons p

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...

6t = 144 * $\frac{1}{3}$ .... first multiply the right side of the equation
