Answer:

  x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding sides are proportional.

  BE/CD = AE/AD

  20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)

  20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)

In standard form, this is ...

  3x^2 -15x -528 = 0

  x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3

  (x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor

  x = 16

__

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

This question has to do with making an approximation based on the diagram of the angle. Angle KLM is an obtuse angle meaning it is larger then 90° but is also less than 180°. The only choices that lie within this range are choices B and D. However, it is safe to assume that angle KLM is closer to 180° than to 90° based on the diagram, therefore the answer must be choice B.

I hope this helps.

devlian [24]

Answer:

A = 3W² + W + 1/8πW²

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangular window is L x W

semicircle is 1/2 πr²

r = 1/2 W

L = 3W + 1

A = W(3W + 1) + 1/2 π(1/2W)²

A = 3W² + W + 1/8πW²
