Width = x
length = x+10

Area of deck = 144 square feet

Area = length * width

144 = x(x+10)

Solving for x in a quadratic:

x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0

Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0

Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18

Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.

Length = x + 10
Length = 18

Width = 8

How many different symbols can be represented by In Morse code, symbols are represented by variable-length sequences of dots and
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

126 different symbols can be represented in Morse code

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to sum up the number of sequences using one single place, two places, three places, four places and so on until sequences of six places (dots and dashes).

For each case we use the fundamental counting principle.

For one single place we may have 2 possible sequences (a dash or a dot)

For two places (example: .. or ._) we may have 2*2 sequences, since each place may be filled with either dash or dot (2 possible ways) and then we multiply the ways each place can be filled, thus 2^2

Similarly, for three places we may have 2*2*2 sequences, thus 2^3

For four places we may have 2*2*2*2 sequences, thus 2^4

And so on.  

So, notice the total up to arrangements of six symbols, is:

2+2^2+2^3+2^4+2^5+2^6=126

Answer:

B. 12.25 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for area of trapezoid is:

A = \frac{a+b}{2} * h <u>where a and b is the bases and h is the height</u>

A = \frac{2.4 +4.6}{2} * 3.5 <u>We plug in the numbers</u>

A = 12.25 cm^2
