Answer: Length = 24; width =4

Step-by-step explanation

Since the ratio of the length to width is 6:1

Let the length  be represented as  6x

And the width be  = x

Such that that the Perimeter of the rectangle which is  

Perimeter = 2(length + width)  becomes

56 = 2(6x + x)

56/2 = 6x+x

28 = 7x

x = 4

Width = 4

Length = 6x= 6 x 4 = 24

In Exercises 10 and 11, points B and D are points of tangency. Find the value(s) of x.<br>​
Lemur [1.5K]

In both cases,

AB^2=AD^2

(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)

So we have

10.

(4x+7)^2=(6x-3)^2

16x^2+56x+49=36x^2-36x+9

20x^2-92x-40=0

5x^2-23x-10=0

(5x+2)(x-5)=0\implies\boxed{x=5}

(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)

11.

(4x^2-18x-10)^2=(x^2+x+4)^2

16x^4-144x^3+244x^2+360x+100=x^4+2x^3+9x^2+8x+16

15x^4-146x^3+235x^2+352x+84=0

(x-7)(3x+2)(5x^2-17x-6)=0\implies\boxed{x=-\dfrac23\text{ or }x=7}

(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)

Write many equations that are equal to the equation 2x+4=x-4.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

<u>x = -8</u>

4x + 8 = 2x - 8

3x + 4 = 2x - 4

2x + 16 = x + 8

x - 1 = 2x + 7

17x + 36 = 16x + 28

13x + 2 = 12x + 11

.......

(this is infinite)

As long as it cancels out to x = -8
