So area is 168 sq ft

That means that length * width = 168 sq ft
Since length  = 10 + 2 w

we get (10+2w)(w)  = 168

Multiply it out and you get 2w^2 + 10w - 168 = 0

This is a quadratic equation. You can use the formula here, but i'll just tell you the answer

w = -12,  or 7
since it can't equal -12 (ever heard of a barn with a length of -12?), you figure out the answer is 7.

If the width is 7, then the length is 10+2(7) = 24.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

98

Step-by-step explanation:

angles 1 and 2 are congruent, the lines in each side of the shape prove this.

another way to solve if you are not sure is to subtract all of the numbers from 360. all quadrilaterals equal 360 degrees, so if you subtract each of the three angles from 360, you will be left with the last angle.

360-120-44-98=98

The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 6.5, what is their product? show work please
Finger [1]
Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5
