The width of a rectangle is the length minus 2 units. the area of the rectangle is 35 units

Mathematics

Mariana [72]3 years ago

Answer:

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units

Step-by-step explanation:

Width=(Length-2) units

W=(L-2) units

Area of the rectangle= 35 square units

Area = length* Width

35= L*(L-2)\\\\35=L^2-2L

Subtracting 35 both sides:

L^2-2L-35=0

Solving the quadratic equation for 'L' ;

Using factorization:

L^2+5L-7L-35=0

Taking common from the equation :

L(L+5)-7(L+5)=0\\\\(L+5)(L-7)=0\\\\L+5=0\\\\L=-5

OR

L-7=0\\\\L=7

The length cannot be negative, therefore Length(L)= 7

Width=Length-2\\\\=7-2\\\\=5 units

Length=7units\\\\Width=5units

108 = ( x)(48-x)
108 = 48x - x^2
48x -x^2 -108 = 0

I'm assuming you're doing solve the square right now, so you should be able to do the rest.

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81. What is the cost to r
kati45 [8]

The cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

<h3>Applications of systems of linear equations </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the cost to rent each chair and each table

Let c represent chair

and

t represent table

From the given information,

The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $27

That is,

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

Also,

The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $81

That is,

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Now, solve the equations simultaneously

5c + 3t = 27 ------------ (1)

2c + 12t = 81 ---------- (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and multiply equation (2) by 5

2 × [5c + 3t = 27 ]

5 × [2c + 12t = 81 ]

10c + 6t = 54        ------------- (3)

10c + 60t = 405   ------------- (4)

Subtract equation (4) from equation (3)

10c + 6t = 54        

10c + 60t = 405

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

-54t = -351

t = -351/-54

t = 6.5

Substitute the value of t into equation (2)
2c + 12t = 81

2c + 12(6.5) = 81

2c + 78 = 81

2c = 81 - 78

2c = 3

c = 3/2

c = 1.5

∴ The cost of chair is $1.5 and cost of table is $6.5

Hence, the cost to rent each chair is $1.5 and cost to rent each table is $6.5

Given a circle with a radius of 2, which is the length of an arc measuring 75 degrees?
WARRIOR [948]
\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\&#10;s=\cfrac{r\theta\pi }{180}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\theta=\textit{angle in degrees}\\&#10;r=radius\\&#10;---------\\&#10;r=2\\&#10;\theta=75&#10;\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{2\cdot 75\cdot \pi }{180}
