leonhard wants to place a triangular-based cabinet in the corner of his rectangle-shaped living room. the triangular base has a

length of 2x 3 feet and a height of 3x 6 feet. what value of x causes the cabinet to take up 6% of the living room floor?

The answer is x =  \frac{-7+ \sqrt{193} }{4}.

There is very similar question on Brainly, in which dimensions of the living room are given (20 feet, 30 feet).
So, knowing this, we first need to calculate how much 6% of the living room is.
The area of the living room is 600 square feet, since it is rectangle-shaped:
P = a * b = 200 feet * 30 feet = 600 square feet.

6% of 600 square feet is 36 square feet:
600 square feet : 100% = A : 6%
A = 600 * 6 / 100 = 36 square feet

The area of the triangular-based cabinet (A) is A = \frac{a*h}{2}, where a is the base, and h is the height of the triangle.
It is given:
A = 36
a = 2x + 3
h = 3x + 6

Now, let's implement this to the formula A =  \frac{a*h}{2}:
36 =  \frac{(2x+3)(3x+6)}{2}
⇒ 36*2=6 x^{2} +12x+9x+18
72=6 x^{2} +21x+18

Let's both sides divide by 3:
24=2 x^{2} +7x+6
⇒ 2 x^{2} +7x-18=0

This is the quadratic formula (a x^{2} +bx+c=0) for which
x =  \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} or
<span>x = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}.
</span>We will use only <span>x = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}, because the length cannot have negative value.</span>


<span>From the equation 2 x^{2} +7x-18=0, we know that
</span>a = 2
b = 7
c = -18

Thus, <span> x = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{193} }{4}:
</span>x= \frac{-b+ \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{ (7)^{2} -4*2*(-18)} }{2*2} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{49+144} }{4} = \frac{-7+ \sqrt{193} }{4}

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Nina is not correct because 393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find total sales she he is not correct because

3 / 4 of 1440 = 1,080$ ticket sales from yesterday

and 295.25 - 33.50 = 261.75$

Therefore, ( 3 / 4 * 1440 ) + ( 295.25 - 33.50 ) = 1,341.75$ sale of today

Ticket from yesterday and today

1,080 - 1,341.75 = 393.5

393.5$ less then yesterday's ticket.
