Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose that length of Triangle is equal to x.

that is

Length = x

Than

width = x - 10

perimeter of Rectangle is

2(length) + 2(width) = 36

2x + 2(x-10) = 36

2x +2x - 20 = 36

4x -20 = 36

4x = 36 +20

4x = 56

x = 56/4

x = 14

so Length of Rectangle is 14 inches

and

width = x - 10

width = 14 - 10

width = 4

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x = 1/3 - sqrt(5/2)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6 x^2 - 4 x = 1

Divide both sides by 6:

x^2 - (2 x)/3 = 1/6

Add 1/9 to both sides:

x^2 - (2 x)/3 + 1/9 = 5/18

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1/3)^2 = 5/18

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1/3 = sqrt(5/2)/3 or x - 1/3 = -sqrt(5/2)/3

Add 1/3 to both sides:

x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x - 1/3 = -sqrt(5/2)/3

Add 1/3 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x = 1/3 - sqrt(5/2)/3
