Answer:

20 inches x 26 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

set up an equation: (2x)(x+7)=520

now just solve it

2x^2+14x=520

x^2+7x-260 = 0

factor: (x-13)(x+20)

x = 13 and -20

13 is the only one that works because you can't have a negative side length

13+7=20

13*2=26

lmk if you don't understand how to solve that equation

Answer:No it is not proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

4 hours=$37

7 hours=$64.75

I t is not proportional because if 4 hours =$37 then 6 hours is supposed to be around $70 but 7 hours=$64.75

GEOMETRY! PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK. (updated picture)

Orlov [11]

Given:

The base of the given triangle has two part:

Left( left side of the hypotenuse) = 25

Right ( right side of the hypotenuse) = x

The altitude (h) = 60

To find the value of x.

Formula:

By Altitude rule we know that, the altitude of a triangle is mean proportional between the right and left part of the hypotenuse,

$\frac{left}{altitude} =\frac{altitude}{right}$

Now,

Putting,

left = 25, altitude = 60 and right = x we get,

$\frac{25}{60} =\frac{60}{x}$

or, $(25)(x )=(60)(60)$ [ by cross multiplication]

or, $x = \frac{3600}{25}$

or, $x = 144$

Hence,

The value of x is 144.

How many times smaller is 2 × 10^-10 than 4 × 10^-5

natta225 [31]

Answer:

200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times smaller is smaller number than greater number, divide greater number by smaller number.

Greater number $=4\times 10^{-5}$

Smaller number $=2\times 10^{-10}$

Then

$\dfrac{\text{Greater number}}{\text{Smaller number}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 10^{-10}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4}{2}\times \dfrac{10^{-5}}{10^{-10}}\\ \\=2\times \dfrac{1}{10^{-5}}\\ \\=2\times 10^5\\ \\=2\times 100,000\\ \\=200,000$

Given the trinomial x^2+bx+c where both the first and second signs are positive, the signs of the factors will be: A. both negat

Lunna [17]

The answer here is C. The sign of the factors are both positive. We can use the FOIL method as reference in determining the sign of the factors. The 3rd term C is positive; therefore our only option is either both negative or both positive. Looking the middle term, which is positive, we know that the middle term is the sum of the outer and inner in FOIL method, which means, signs of the factors must be both positive
