Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pool tables are rectanglar

Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 2(L+W) ---->>> Perimeter/2 = L + W =

Perimeter/2 - W = L

Area = L×W

Two equations and two unknowns and L is substituted into the area equation

---->> Area = (Perimeter/2 - W) x W

Area = (Perimeter x W)/2 - W² solve for W

Area = 36 and Perimeter = 26

36 ft² = (26)( W)/2 ft - W² ft²

36 ft² = 13W ft - W² ft²

W² - 13W + 36 = 0 quadratic equation factor solve for W

(W - 4)(W - 9) = 0

There are two roots

W - 4 = 0 and W - 9 = 0

W = 4 and 9 W = 9 it doesn't make sense needs to be < L

Perimeter/2 - W = L

L = 26/2 - W

= 13 - 4

L = 9 ft and W = 4 ft

200!!!! because it’s 5x20 in each triangle and you divide by 2 so 5x20 is 100 and 100 divided by 2 is 50 and there are 4 squares so 50 x 4 and you get 200 hope that helped!!

Which are the solution of x2=-5x+8

yawa3891 [41]

rewrite the equation set = to 0.

x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0

The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.

x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2

x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2

The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto It \ will \ take \ 5 hours \ to \ travel \ 300 \ miles. }}}$

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

According to Question , a plane travels 120 miles in 2 hours. So here we will use unitary method .

$\bf\implies If \ it \ covers \ 120 \ miles \ in \ 2 \ hours \\\\\bf\implies Then \ one \ mile \ will \ be \ covered \ in \ \dfrac{120}{2} hrs \\\\\bf\implies Hence \ 300 \ miles \ will \ be \ covered \ in \ \dfrac{2}{120}\times 300 hrs = \red{5 \ hours }$

<h3>Hence it will cover 300 miles in 5 hours .</h3>

Here it was a case of direct proportion in which if two things are directly proportional to each other. If one thing thing increases then the value of second also increases. Here if the time increases then the distance also increases
