Answer:

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Area = 600 yd^2

Length = width + 10

l = w + 10 ......1

Area of a rectangular plot is;

Area A = length × width

A = l × w

Substituting equation 1;

A = (w+10) × w

A = w^2 + 10w

600 = w^2 + 10w

w^2 +10w -600 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation;

w = -30 or 20

cannot be negative

w = 20 yd

l = w+10 = 20+10 = 30yd

The dimension of the plot is 30 yd by 20 yd

Solve for Y please!!!

From the markings and lines, we can tell this is an equilateral triangle. Since it is an equilateral triangle, we know that each angle is 60°.
Using this information, we can make and solve an equation:
8y - 4 = 60°    <em>(we know that it is equal to 60°, since it is an equilateral triangle)</em>8y = 64°         <em>(we added both sides by 4 to get the y's alone on one side)</em>y = 8°              <em>(we divide both sides by 8 to find out what just y is)</em>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Answer:
So y is equal to 8°

If 5 less than double a number is between -7 and 13
RideAnS [48]

Firstly, we will let this mystery number we are finding be labelled as x. Double this number can be written as 2x. 5 less than double this number is written as 2x - 5. And because this number is between -7 and 13, we have the full inequality, -7 < 2x - 5 < 13.

To solve this inequality, we want to isolate x, so we add 5 to all 3 parts of the inequality. Doing so cancels out the - 5 in the middle, so our new inequality is -2 < 2x < 18. Now we want to divide all 3 parts of the inequality by 2 to isolate x, so now our final inequality is -1 < x < 9. Thus, we can say that x is between -1 and 9.

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let index 1 refer to the first point, while index 2 refers to the second one.

The distance d:

d²=(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²=(-5-7)³+(3-(-6))²=

(-12)²+9²=144+81=225=15²

d=15
