Answer:

21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

RE is parallel to PM,

( AR / RP ) = ( AE / EM )

( 7 / x ) = ( 6 / 18 )

( 7 / x ) = ( 1 / 3 )

x × 1 = 7 × 3

x = 21 units

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x$

As we know:

$Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth$

$85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\$

Subtracting both sides by 85

$x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5$

As width can never be in negative, hence width of a rectangular wall of a barn = $x$ = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = $12+x=12+5=17\ feet$

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.

When will these two lines intersect <br>C. y=-2x +3<br>y = x

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The intersection point of the given lines is (1,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equations are:

y = - 2 x + 3

y = x

Substitute y = x in the first equation,

y = -2 x + 3 becomes y = -2 (y) + 3

or, y + 2 y = 3

or, 3 y = 3 ⇒ y = 3/3 = 1

⇒ y = 1

Now, as x = y ⇒ x = 1

Hence, the intersection points of the given lines is (1,1).
