The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 144 square feet. Its length is 10 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wi dth of the wall of the barn.
1 answer:
Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l and w be length and width, respectively. Then:
lw=144 and
l=w+10
So:
w(w+10)=144
w²+10w-144=0
(w+18)(w-8)=0
w=8 as the width ................

Answer:It's the last option again. You have 1 linear factor (3x) and 2 copies of a quadratic factor (x² + 10), and the partial fractions with the quadratic factor need to have a linear polynomial in the numerator.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the other leg = x
x^2 + 4^2 = (3x)^2
x^2 + 4^2 = 9x^2
4^2 = 9x^2 - x^2
16= 8x^2
16/8 = x^2
x^2 = 2
x = sqrt(2)
The lengths of the sides
x = sqrt(2)
other side =4
hypotenuse = 3*sqrt(2)
x = 1.4
other side= 4
hypotenuse = 3*1.4142
hypotenuse = 4.2
8 = x / 12.8
3 because if the number behind the decimal point is a 5 or above you round up.
