Answer:

The two people should stand 40 feet from the center so that they can hear each other whisper

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

Width of the gallery = 100 feet

Width = 2a

a = Width/2

a = 100/2 = 50 feet

Height of the gallery = b = 30 feet

Hence, the distance is

d² = a² - b²

d = √a² - b²

d = √50² - 30²

d = √2500 - 900

d = √1600

d = 40 feet

Hence, the two people should stand 40 feet from the center so that they can hear each other whisper.

Factor completely x2 + 20x − 36.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 20x − 36

You must find a pair of numbers that multiply to give -36 and add to give +20.

The likely candidates are 2 and 18, and they must have opposite signs to give a negative product.

+2 × (-18) = -36; +2 + (-18) =   -16

-2 ×   18  = -36;  -2 +     8   = +16

Neither combination gives +20 as the sum.

The expression can't be factored with rational numbers.

The expression is prime.
