Answer:

32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

height = x

length = x+4

x(x+4)=60

x^2 +4x=60

make it into quadratic formula

x^2 + 4x - 60 =0

a=1

b=-4

c=-60

4^2-4*1*(-66)

discriminant equals to 256

square root of 256 equals to 16

x=-4+16/2 = 6

x=-4-16/2 = -10

we will use 6

length is x+4 so 6+4 = 10

width is x = 6

10 plus 10 = 20

6 plus 6= 12

20+12=32 cm

Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle =  32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Let the height of the rectangle = 'x' cm

Thus the length of the rectangle = x + 4 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

Area of the rectangle = length X height

Given area of the rectangle = 60 cm²

( length X height ) = 60

( x + 4) x  =60

 x² + 4 x - 60 =0

 x² + 10 x- 6 x - 60 =0

x ( x+10) - 6 ( x + 10 ) =0

(x+10) ( x -6 ) = 0

x = -10  and x =6

<u><em>we can choose x =6</em></u>

The height of the rectangle(H) = 'x' = 6 cm

The length of the rectangle (L)= 6 + 4 = 10cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( length + height )

                                           = 2 ( 10 + 6 )

                                          = 32 cm

∴ Perimeter of the rectangle = 32 cm

Perform the indicated operations. Write the answer in standard form, a+bi.<br> (5 + 6i)(5 - 6i)
lubasha [3.4K]

\boxed{\underline{\bf \: ANSWER}}

\sf \: ( 5 + 6 i ) ( 5 - 6 i )

Multiply complex numbers 5+6i and 5-6i in the same way as you multiply binomials.

\dashrightarrow \sf 5\times 5+5\times \left(-6i\right)+6i\times 5+6\left(-6\right)i^{2}

By definition, i² is -1.

\dashrightarrow \sf 5\times 5+5\times \left(-6i\right)+6i\times 5+6\left(-6\right)\left(-1\right)

Do the multiplications.

\dashrightarrow \sf \: 25-30i+30i+36

Now cancel -30i & +30i

\dashrightarrow \sf \: 25 \:  \bcancel{- 30i}  \:  +  \: \bcancel{30i}+36

Now the equation becomes

\dashrightarrow \sf \: 25 \:  + 36 \\ \dashrightarrow  \boxed{\bf \: 61}

________

Hope it helps.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The answer to your questions radius = 14 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Circumference = 28π in

radius = ?

Circumference is defined as the distance around the edge of a circle.

Formula

Circumference = 2π radius

-Solve for radius

radius = Circumference /2π

-Substitution

radius = 28π / 2π

-Simplification

radius = 28/2

-Result

radius = 14 in
