Answer:
i. 
+ 26x + 144 - 299 = 0
ii. x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the figure = 299 cm²
The figure has a shape of a rectangle, so that;
Area of rectangle = length x width
length of the figure = 18 + x
width of the figure = 8 + x
Area of the figure = (18 + x) x (8 + x)
299 = (18 + x) x (8 + x)
299 = + 26x + 144
+ 26x + 144 - 299 = 0
+ 26x - 155 = 0
applying the trigonometric formula;
x = (-b ± 
) ÷ 2a
= (-26 ± 
) ÷ 2
= (-26 ± 
) ÷ 2
= (-26 ± 
) ÷ 2
= (-26 ± 36) ÷ 2
x = (-26 + 36) ÷ 2 OR x = (-26 -36) ÷ 2
= 10 ÷ 2 OR -62 ÷ 2
= 5 OR -31
Thus, x = 5
which one????????????????????
b) -4
- 8x +4 =36
First, we subtract 4 from 36 to get 32
36-4=32
-8x=32
Since a negative times a negative equals a positive, then the answer has to be negative because 36 is positive.
32 divided by 8 = 4
B) -4
Zinc = 7/18
Divide 4.9 by 7 = 0.7
Multiply by 18 = 12.6
The answer is 12.6 lbs of alloy. Sorry if I'm wrong
Answer: G. 12.5, 7.5, 10
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the lengths of metal that could be used to form the tight angle triangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
The hypotenuse is the longest side while the opposite and adjacent sides are the shorter side. Therefore,
F.
8² = 4² + 4²
64 = 16 + 16 = 32
A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.
G.
12.5² = 7.5² + 10²
156.25 = 56.25 + 100 = 156.25
A right angle triangle can be formed because they are equal.
H.
23² = 11² + 9²
529 = 121 + 81 = 202
A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.
J.
96² = 12.5² + 6²
9216 = 156.25 + 36 = 192.25
A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.
