The length of the rectangle is based on its width, so let's call width w and put the length in terms of the width. We are told that the width is 45 less than 4 times the width, so the length is 4w - 45. Area is found by multiplying length times width and we are given the area as 3325. So we will set up length times width and solve for w, which we will then use to solve for l. 3325 = (4w - 45)(w). Multiplying out we have
. Move the constant over by subtraction and then we will have a quadratic that can be factored to solve for w.
. We would put that through the quadratic formula to solve for w. When we do that we get that w = 35 and w = -23.75. The 2 things in math that will never EVER be negative is time and distance/length, so -23.75 is out. That means that the width is 35. The length is 4(35) - 45 which is 95. The dimensions of your rectangle are length is 95 and width is 35. There you go!
Your answer is: A. 4/2
Hope this helps and happy holidays!!
Length = 6x - 12
Width = x
Area of a rectangle:
A = length x width
3744 = (x)(6x - 12)
3744 = 6x^2 - 12x
6x^2 - 12x - 3744 = 0
Use the quadratic equation to solve for x. The two solutions end up being 26 and -24. Since length is a scalar measurement, it can only be positive. Thus, the value of x is equal to 26 inches.
Width = 26 inches
Length = 6(26) - 12 = 144 inches
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus
∠1 = 180° - (72 + 57)° = 180° - 129° = 51°
The right angle at the left vertex is composed of 72° and ∠2, thus
∠2 = 90° - 72° = 18°
57° and ∠3 form a straight angle and are supplementary, thus
∠3 = 180° - 57° = 123°
∠4 = 180° - (∠2 + ∠3 ) ← sum of angles in a triangle
∠4 = 180° - (18 + 123)° = 180° - 141° = 39°
