Just in case:
This slope goes through (0,0) or more formally, the origin.
Well y= 25 mins
2/5= 5 mins, x=2
so the answer is a
Angles in a triangle must add up to 180, so the missing angle inside the triangle is 180 - (70 + 40), which is 70.
Angles on a straight line (i.e. the line BD) must add up to 180, and because we know part of that angle is 70, x must be 180 - 70, which is 110.
Hence, x is 110 degrees.
The area of the blanket - 24 ft²
length being longer than the width means that blanket is a rectangle
width of the blanket = x
length of blanket = x +2
area = length * width
area = x * (x+2)
= x² + 2x
since area = 24
x² + 2x = 24
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
we have a quadratic equation and we need to now solve for x
x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
x (x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = 0
(x-4) (x+6) = 0
x-4 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
x = 4 or x = -6
x could be either 4 or -6. since dimensions cannot have negative values,
x ≠ -6
therefore x = 4
width = 4 ft
length = 6 ft
