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!! :)

What are the solutions of the equation (2x + 3)2 + 8(2x + 3) + 11 = 0
Tom [10]

Answer:

x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2} or x=\frac{-7+ \sqrt{5}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

(2x+3)^2+8(2x+3)+11=0

Let us treat this as a quadratic equation in (2x+3).

where a=1,b=8,c=11

The solution is given by the quadratic formula;

(2x+3)=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

We substitute these values into the formula to obtain;

(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{8^2-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}

(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64-44} }{2}

(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{20} }{2}

(2x+3)=\frac{-8\pm2\sqrt{5} }{2}

(2x+3)=-4\pm \sqrt{5}

(2x+3)=-4-\sqrt{5} or (2x+3)=-4+ \sqrt{5}

2x=-3-4-\sqrt{5} or 2x=-3-4+ \sqrt{5}

2x=-7-\sqrt{5} or 2x=-7+ \sqrt{5}

x=\frac{-7-\sqrt{5}}{2} or x=\frac{-7+ \sqrt{5}}{2}

Solve for x and justify your answer ​
Scorpion4ik [409]
The answer is 51°.

The top two lines are parallel to each other. Therefore alternate interior angles theorem applies. The bottom right corner that is underneath the line (for lack of a better description) is also 58°.

We also know that a triangle equals 180°. So 58+71= 129°.

So to find that missing angle we subtract 129 from 180 to get the 51°.
