The question is asking us to find the dimensions of the rectangle, which would be the length and width. So, to find this, we must first state our givens, as it is Geometry.
Given: Length of rectangle = 59 + twice the width, diagonal = 2 inches longer than the width
Let's first translate all our givens to numbers. We'll start off by assigning variables that are easy to work with (x, y and z).
x = width
y = length
z = diagonal
Now that we have done that, we need to translate all our givens into numbers. Here is how that would look like:
y = 2x + 59 ←59 plus twice the width (x)
z = y + 2 ←Diagonal = 2 inches more than width
If we draw a diagram, we can see that the diagonal, length, and width all create a right triangle, which means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. By using right triangle postulates and theorems, we can deduce that the diagonal is the hypotenuse. Here is what our setup looks like:
x² + y² = z²
<em />Now, all we need to do is plug in the expressions we created for y and z:
x² + (2x + 59)² = [2 + (2x + 59)²]
When we solve for x, we get x = 20. Now, we just plug the x value back into the y equation to get 99. Therefore, the length equals 99 inches and the width equals 20 inches. Hope this helps and have a great day!
Quadrant 2 is the only one that can satisfy the condition. In there, x<0 and y>0
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
x = -6
-4x + y = 29
substitute x = -6 in -4x + y =29
-4(-6) + y = 29
24 + y = 29
subtract 24 from both sides
24 - 24 + y = 29 - 24
y = 5
I had this same question and still don’t know the answer
The complete question is
A colony of <span>2^120 bacteria occupies a total volume of </span><span>1.3 x 10^15 m^3. The surface area of a planet is approximately 5.42 x 10^14 m^2. </span>
<span>Complete parts (a) and (b) below. </span>
<span>a) Assume that the bacteria are distributed uniformly over the planet's surface. How deep would the bacterial layer be? (You can find the approximate depth by dividing the bacteria volume by the planet's surface area.) </span>
<span>____m </span>
<span>b) Would the bacteria be knee-deep, more than knee-deep, or less than knee-deep? </span>
<span>A. The bacteria would be less than knee-deep. </span>
<span>B. The bacteria would be more than knee-deep. </span>
<span>C. The bacteria would be knee-deep. </span>
<span>D. It depends on the height of the person
</span>
Part a)
Find the approximate depth
<span>= (bacteria volume / planet surface area) </span>
<span>= (1.3 x 10^15 m³) / (5.42 x 10^14 m²) </span>
<span>= 2.4 m
</span>
the answer Part a) is
2.4 m
Part b)
No information is given about the height of the 'people' on this planet, and hence we cannot guess at their average knee height.
<span>2.4 meters is about 7.9 feet. That is obviously above the knee for any human, but. again, the question does not explicitly state that we are talking about Earth and humans
</span>
therefore
the answer part b) is the option
D. It depends on the height of the person
