A = L * W
A = 70

70 = L * W

P = 2(L + W)
P = 34

34 = 2(L + W)
34/2 = L + W
17 = L + W
17 - W = L

70 = L * W
L = 17 - W

70 = W(17 - W)
70 = -W^2 + 17W
W^2 - 17W + 70 = 0
(W - 10)(W - 7) = 0

W - 10 = 0        L = 17 - 10
W = 10              L = 7

W - 7 = 0          L = 17 - 7
W = 7               L = 10

so either the width is 10 meters and the length is 7 meters OR the width is 7 meters and the length is 10 meters

A line segment BK is an angle bisector of ΔABC. A line KM intersects side BC such, that BM = MK. Prove: KM ∥ AB.
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

∠BKM= ∠ABK

Therefore AB ║KM (∵ ∠BKM= ∠ABK  and lies between AB and KM and BK is the transversal line)

m∠MBK ≅ m∠BKM (Angles opposite to equal side of ΔBMK are equal)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: BK is an angle bisector of Δ ABC. and line KM intersect BC such that, BM = MK

TO prove: KM ║AB

Now, As given in figure 1,

In Δ ABC, ∠ABK = ∠KBC (∵ BK is angle bisector)

Now in Δ BMK, ∠MBK = ∠BKM (∵ BM = MK and angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.)

Now ∵ ∠MBK = ∠BKM

and  ∠ABK = ∠KBM

∴ ∠BKM= ∠ABK

Therefore AB ║KM (∵ ∠BKM= ∠ABK and BK is the transversal line)

Hence proved.

What is the value of x in the equation log(x+2) - log(x-1) = log 2​
pentagon [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x+2)-log(x-1)=log2

log(x+2)/(x-1)=log2

=> (x+2)=2(x-1)

=>x+2 =2x-2

Follow the directions to solve the system of equations by elimination. 8x + 7y = 39 4x – 14y = –68 Multiply the first equation t
Helga [31]

Answer:

x=½

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x+7y=39)2

16x+14y=78

<u>4</u><u>x</u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>y</u><u>=</u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u>8</u> add the two equations

20x=10.

divide both sides by 20

x=½

8x+7y=39

4+7y=39

7y=39-4

7y=35

y=5

Estimate the average annual growth rate of the world population for 1950, 1988, and 2010 using model 17 from the previous page.
hodyreva [135]
Although I don't see 1950, 1988, or 2010 on your model, I did calculate the average for 1972, 1982, 1992, and 2002: the average that I got was 1.6025 (this answer has not been rounded due to the fact that I don't know if you need to round it)
hope this helps
