Hi.

Formula for area: A = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.

Given information:
• l = 2w - 1
• A = 21 in^2

We can plug in our values accordingly and solve for w.

A = 2l + 2w
21 = 2(2w - 1) + 2w
21 = 4w - 2 + 2w
23 = 6w - 2
23 = 6w
3.83 = w

Plug 3.83 for w into 2w - 1 to find length.

2(3.83) - 1
7.66 - 1
6.66

Finally, check your work by plugging your values into the original equation.

21 = 2(6.66) + 2(3.83)
21 = 13.32 + 7.66
21 = 20.98

Answer:
The length is approximately 6.66 inches.

If the measures of the angles in the following triangle were listed in increasing order, which measure would be second? (2x+24)
Andru [333]

Answer:

x²+1 is the second

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+24=40°

4x+43=75°

x²+1=65°

(2x+24) + (4x +43) + (x²+1)=180

x²+6x+68=180

x1=-14

x2=8

since there's no negative angle, we'll use x=8
