L=2w-3 

w(2w-3)=54

2w²- 3w-54=0

A= 2 , B= -3, C= -54

sub values into quadratic formula
 i attached picture of formula

Final answer:  you will be given 2 answers 6 and -4.5. -4.5 is rejected since a negative value cannot represent length because that just doesn't make sense.

w=6

Check:
L=2w-3
=2(6)-3
=12-3
=9
  9*6=54

Therefore the dimensions of the photograph are 6 cm by 9 cm

To find the height of the peak, list the corresponding sides and angles of the two triangles you and Tyler have created. (6 poin
sukhopar [10]
We know that

Right triangles PBM and MTF are similar 
because
angle PMB=angle TMF
and
angle BPM=angle FTM
and 
angle B =angle F=90 degrees
so
corresponding sides are
BM and MF
PB and TF
PM and MT
(PB/TF)=BM/MF
solve for PB
PB=(TF*BM)/MF
where
TF=6ft
BM=20 ft
MF=3 ft
so
PB=(6*20)/3------> 40 ft

the answer is
<span>the height of the peak is 40 ft</span>
