Answer:

6 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 ab

42 = 1/2 (x)(x+8)

42 *2 = x(x+8)

84 = x²+8x

x²+8x-84 = 0

x²+14x-6x-84 = 0

x(x+14)-6(x+14) = 0

x-6 = 0 and x+14 = 0

x = 6 and -14

Hence the values of x are 6 and -14

For a triangle:
A=\frac{bh}{2}
A=\frac{b \times 7.9}{2}
b=AD+DC
Use Pythagorean theorem twice:
AD^{2}+9.4^{2}=7.9^{2}
AD=5.09

DC^{2}+23.2^{2}=7.9^{2}
DC=21.81

Thus:
b=26.9

And:
Area=\frac{26.9 \times 7.9}{2}=106.26

A rectangle has a volume of 912 cubic meters. It has a length of 19 meters and a width of 12 meters. Which equation can be used
Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer would be B because LWH=V, so taking the information given, L(19) times W(12) would equal 228 and 228 times the H would give us volume so B
Hope this helped ;)
