Let 
be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce 
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
The least common denominator for the question you have supplied me with is 10. The least common multiple of the denominators, 5 and 10, is 10, making the LCD 10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do the obvious things first.
Right rectangle
w = 11
L = 17
Formula
Area = L * W
Area = 11 * 17
Area = 187
Left rectangle
W = 8
L = 11
Area = 8 * 11= 88
Middle Rectangle
W = 11
L = 15
Area = 11 * 15 165
Now we come to the triangles. It's not obvious what to do with them. You have to infer that one of the lets is 8 and the other is 15. You get the 8 from the width of the left rectangle (see above.)
There are 2 triangles
Area = 2 * 1/2 * l1 * l2
Leg 1 = 8
Leg2 = 15
Area = 2 * 1/2 (8 * 15)
Area = <u> 120 </u>
Total = 120 + 165 + 88 + 187 = 560
Unless you have an E answer that is 560, my answer does not agree with any of the given answers. I would suggest that you ask your teacher how it is done. My method is correct.
Answer:
The answer is 196
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the square root of each number. All numbers are decimals but 196, which is 14
