Answer:

Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The area of the pen is 150 ft²

Assuming that the length of the pen is x, then the breadth of the pen will be 24 - x

Area = length * breadth

Area = x (24 - x)

Area = 24x - x²

24x - x² = 150

x² - 24x + 150 = 0

Using general quadratic formula, we have

[-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/ 2a

Where

a = 1

b = -24

c = 150

On solving the equation, we get a number in the complex form of "i", and not a real number. As such, it's not possible for the 24 feet to enclose the area

A line passes through the point (0, 0) and has a rise over run ratio of 4/3. Give two other points that the line passes through​
Sergio [31]

Answer:

(3,4) and (6,8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise is equal to y and run is equal to x. If the fraction is 4/3, y is equal to 4 and 3 is equal to x. 3 across is 3 and 4 upwards is 4. Just keep adding 3,4 to get the following points the line passes through. Since we need two points, 3,4 and 6,8 would be the appropriate answers.
