Answer:

length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length = x. Let the width = y.

We use the formulas for area and perimeter using x and y, and the given values.

area = length * width

perimeter = 2(length + width)

xy = 33

2(x + y) = 23

Solve the first equation for x:

x = 33/y

Substitute 33/y for x in the second equation.

2(33/y + y) = 23

66/y + 2y = 23

Mulrtiply both sides by y.

66 + 2y^2 = 23y

2y^2 - 23y + 66 = 0

(2y - 11)(y - 6) = 0

2y - 11 = 0   or   y - 6 = 0

y = 11/2 = 5.5   or   y = 6

xy = 33

x * 11/2 = 33

x = 33 * 2/11

x = 6

Answer: length = 6 cm; width = 5.5 cm

What is the length of the base of a right triangle with an area of 20 square meters and a height of 4 meters? 5 m 10 m 80 m 160
o-na [289]
You find the area of a triangle by using 1/2*b*h where b is the base and h is the height. since we already know the area is 20 and the height is for you plus them in so the problem would be 20= 1/2 (b) (4) then you multiply what you know together to get 20= 2b and then isolate the b by dividing both sides by two so the base should be 10 m

A)<br> Identify all x-values not in the domain of<br> y=(x² – 4x²) / (3x² - 6x – 24)
True [87]

Answer:

x ≠ 4 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be zero, so factor the bottom equation to get the zeros and those are the domain restrictions.

3x^2 - 6x - 24 ≠ 0

3(x^2 - 2x - 8) ≠ 0          (factor out a 3)

3(x - 4)(x + 2) ≠ 0            (factor equation)

x ≠ 4, x ≠ -2                     (use zero product property to find zeros)
