Answer:

The length is 7 m

The width is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x

width = 2x - 4

length * width = area

It is given that the area is 70 m^{2}

From there

x * (2x - 4) = 70

2x^{2} - 4x = 70

2x^{2} - 4x - 70 = 0

x^{2} - 2x - 35 = 0

Now we have a quadratic equation, which is  ax^{2} + bx + c = 0, where a \neq 0

In this equation a = 1, b = -2 and c = -35

Discriminant (D) formula is b² - 4ac

D = -2^{2}  - 4 * 1 * (-35) = 144 > 0

This discriminant is more than 0, so there are two possible x

Their formulas are  \frac{- b - \sqrt{D}  }{2a} and \frac{- b + \sqrt{D}  }{2a}

x_{1} =  \frac{- (-2) - \sqrt{144} }{2} = -5 < 0 (the length of the rectangle has to be more than 0, so we don't use this x)

x_{2} = \frac{- (-2) + \sqrt{144} }{2} = 7 > 0 (this one is right)

Calculating the dimensions

length = x = 7 (m)

width = 2x - 4 = 2 * 7 - 4 = 10 (m)

A can is shaped like a cylinder 5.2 cm wide and 2.3 cm tall. find the volume of the nearest tenth. use 3.14 for pie.
likoan [24]

Answer: 48.8

Step-by-step explanation: The equation for the area of a circle is π*r², since the base of a cylinder is a circle we take the equation of a circle and multiply the height of the cynlinder by using the equation π*r²*h to get the volume of a cylinder. In this case our factors are

π= 3.14

r²= 6.76  

h=2.3

3.14*6.76*2.3=48.82072

rounded to the nearest tenth=48.8
