X= larger number
x-6= smaller number
x + (x - 6)= 62
combine like terms
2x - 6= 62
add 6 to both sides
2x= 68
divide both sides by 2
x= 34 larger number
SMALLER NUMBER
x - 6= 34 - 6= 28
ANSWER: The smaller number is 28 and the larger number is 34.
Hope this helps! :)
Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. So, 81+x^2=1681. ( Pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2). x^2=1600. x=40.
By using <em>triangle</em> properties and the law of the cosine twice, we find that the distance between points M and N is approximately 9.8 meters.
<h3>How to determine the distance between two points</h3>
In this problem we must determine the distance between two points that are part of a triangle and we can take advantage of properties of triangles to find it. First, we determine the measure of angle L by the law of the cosine:

L ≈ 62.464°
Then, we get the distance between points M and N by the law of the cosine once again:

MN ≈ 9.8 m
By using <em>triangle</em> properties and the law of the cosine twice, we find that the distance between points M and N is approximately 9.8 meters.

Maximizing the Area of a rectangle. Drag the locators to vary the width of the rectangle and see the effect on its area. For a rectangle with a perimeter of 40, the height is always 20 minus the width. This allows you to reduce the formula for the area. I hope this helps you
