Given
base=2x+6
height=x+4
and
area=56 square units
56=1/2 times (2x+6) times (x+4)
times bot sides by 2
112=(2x+6)(x+4)
expand
112=2x²+14x+24
divide both sides by 2
56=x²+7x+12
minus 56 both sides
0=x²+7x-44
factor
waht 2 numbers mulitply to get -44 and add to get 7
11 and -4
0=(x-4)(x+11)
set to 0
x-4=0
x=4
x+11=0
x=-11
false, measures can't be negative
x=4
height=x+4
height=4+4=8
base=2x+6
base=2(4)+6=8+6=14
x=4 and base=14 and height=8
The answer is 13 you have to add the top and bottom
Answer:
140.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
gave up on deltamath
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is in the same line as DE, both have the same slope.
the slope is the ratio of "y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another.
and so by using the coordinates of D and E
x changes by +4 (from 8 to 12).
y changes by -8 (from 32 to 24).
the slope is therefore
-8/+4 = -2
It is 3 because you take 5 times 3 and it equals 15
