Answer:

Length=x+2

Width=2x-1

Area of garden =length×width

88sq.ft=2x-1 × x+2

88sq ft=2x^2+3x-2

2x^2+3x-2=88

2x^2+3x-2-88=0

2x^2+3x-90=0

2x^2+(15x-12x)-90=0

x(2x+15)-6(2x+15)=0

(x-6)(2x+15)=0

x-6=0

x=6 eq.1

2x+15=0

2x=-15(since length cant come in negative so it would not be the value of x)

Since x=6 according to eq. 1 ,therefore

Length =x+2

Length=6+2

Length=8..

Can someone please help me with this?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

a. 3, 100 degrees

- I know 6 is 100 degrees and angle 3 is identical to angle 6. Therefore, angle 3 is 100 degrees.

b. 6, 100 degrees

- Angle 3 and 6 are identical. This means angle 6 is 100 degrees.

c. 4, 80

- Knowing a straight line is 180 degrees and all other angles are 100 degrees, I subtracted 180-100 = 80 degrees

-3/7, -8/3 and -5/2,-2 slope

Alja [10]

So the points are (-3/7,-8/3) and (-5/2,-2)
to find the slope do
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x,y)
x1=-3/7
y1=-8/3
x2=-5/2
y2=-2

subsitute
$\frac{-2-( \frac{-8}{3} )}{ \frac{-5}{2} - \frac{-3}{7} }$
simplify by finding similar denomenators
$\frac{\frac{-6}{3}-( \frac{-8}{3} )}{ \frac{-35}{14} - \frac{-6}{14} }$
$\frac{\frac{-6}{3}( \frac{8}{3} )}{ \frac{-35}{14} + \frac{6}{14} }$
add
$\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{ \frac{-29}{14}}$
multiply top and bottom by $\frac{-14}{29$
$\frac{\frac{-28}{87}}{1}$
$\frac{-28}{87}$
answer is
slope= $\frac{-28}{87}$
