Answer:

Length=15 cm

Width=13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the width dimension, the length will be (x-2)

-The area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

A=lw

#We substitute the length and width values and equate to the given area:

A=lw\\195=x\times (x-2)\\\\195=x^2-2x

#Rewrite as a quadratic and solve for x:

195=x^2-2x\\\\x^2-2x-195=0\\\\\# Use \ the \ Quadratic\  formula \ to\  solve:\\\\x_1,x_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\therefore x_1,x_2=\frac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4\times 1\times(-195)}}{2\times 1}\\\\\\x_1=15, x_2=-13

Since dimensions are always positve, the x value is 15

x=15

x=13

Hence, the dimensions of the rectangle are length=15 cm and width=13 cm

HELP
kherson [118]

Answer: For the equation simply substitute 30 in for v and 4 in for s in the equation given, so H=-16t^2+30t+4

Part 2.

If the juggler misses the ball, you wish to know the time that it takes for the ball to travel the four feet from his hand to the ground, so respectively,

4=-16t^2+30t+4 or 0=-16t^2+30t or 0 = -16t+30,

solving for t, t =30/16 seconds or 1.875 seconds

What is the surface area of this design?<br> A.150in2<br> B.197in2<br> C.210in2<br> D.127in2
ANEK [815]

Answer:

197 in ^2 (answer B of the list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that this figure has a total of 6 faces, four of which are rectangles (whose area is calculated as "base times height") and two trapezoids (whose area is (B+b)H/2 ).

The total surface area is therefore the addition of these six areas:

Rectangles:

5 in x 5 in = 25 in^2

5 in x 5 in = 25 in^2

5 in x 6.4 in = 32 in^2

9 in x 5 in = 45 in^2

Trapezoids:

Two of equal dimensions: B = 9 in, b = 5 in, H = 5 in

2 * (9 in + 5 in) 5 in /2 = 70 in^2

Which gives a total of  (25 + 25 + 32+45 + 70) in^2 = 197 in^2

This agrees with answer B of he provided list.
