Answer:

  40 ft by 75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the dimensions, with x being the dimension 10 less than the diagonal. The Pythagorean theorem tells us ...

  (x +10)² = x² + y²

  x² +20x +100 = x² +y²

Then solving for x gives ...

  x = (y² -100)/20

and substituting for x in the area formula, we get ...

  xy = 3000

  ((y² -100)/20)y = 3000

  y³ -100y = 60000

This cubic can be solved a variety of ways. One is "guess and check". The solution will be very near ∛60000 ≈ 39, so we might guess y=40. Checking, we see that is indeed the solution:

  40³ -100·40 = 60000

  64000 -4000 = 60000 . . . . verifies y=40 is the solution

Then x=3000/40 = 75, and we have found the dimensions of the rectangle to be 40 ft by 75 ft.

___

Another way to solve the cubic is graphically. We can rewrite it as ...

  y³ -100y -60000 = 0

and look for the zero of the cubic expression on the left. A graph shows it to be y=40.

Answer:

40 ft × 75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the one side ( in feet ) of the rectangular parcel,

So, the diagonal between opposite corners = ( x + 10 ) feet,

Let y be the other side of the rectangle ( adjacent to side x ),

The area of the rectangle,

A = x × y,

According to the question,

A = 3000 square ft,

\implies xy = 3000\implies y=\frac{3000}{x}

∵ In a rectangle,

D^2=a^2+b^2

Where, a and b are the adjacent side of the rectangle and D is the diagonal,

(x+10)^2 = x^2 + y^2

(x+10)^2 = x^2 + \frac{9000000}{x^2}

x^2(x+10)^2 = x^4 + 9000000

x^2(x^2+100+20x) = x^4 + 9000000

x^4+100x^2 + 20x^3 = x^4 + 9000000

20x^3 + 100x^2 - 9000000=0

x^3 + 5x^2 - 450000 = 0

By graphing the equation,

We found that,

The only real zeros of the equation is at x = 75,

Hence, the one side of the rectangle = 75 ft,

And, second side = \frac{3000}{75} = 40 ft

Hence, the dimension of the land is 40 ft × 75 ft

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

<h2>3 g/cm³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question we have

density =   \frac{9}{3}  = 3 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
