Answer:

  a) w(4w-15)

  b) w²

  c) w(4w -15) = w²

  d) w = 5

  e) 5 by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.

  A = w(4w -15)

__

b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:

  A = w²

__

c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...

  w(4w -15) = w²

__

d) we can subtract the right side to get ...

  4w² -15w -w² = 0

  3w(w -5) = 0

This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.

The side length of the square is 5 units.

__

e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.

The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.

What is the area of this triangle.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

13 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

You <em>could</em> calculate the length of each side using Pythagorean theorem, then use Heron's formula to find the area.  But there's an easier way: find the area of the rectangle that contains the triangle, and subtract the areas of the smaller triangles in the corners.

The area of the rectangle is 4 × 7 = 28.

The area of the upper left triangle is ½(2)(4) = 4.

The area of the upper right triangle is ½(3)(5) = 7.5.

The area of the lower right triangle is ½(1)(7) = 3.5.

So the area of the triangle is:

28 − 4 − 7.5 − 3.5 = 13

-24x -15 = -27. Step by step explanation on how to solve this problem.
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 24x - 15 = - 27 ( add 15 to both sides )

- 24x = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 24 )

x = \frac{-12}{-24} = \frac{1}{2}
