Answer:

  6.5 ft wide by 8 ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is ...

  L = 2x -5

and the area is ...

  A = LW = (2x -5)(x) = 52

  2x² -5x -52 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form

  (2x -13)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor

  x = 6.5, -4 . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero

The length is then ...

  L = A/W = 52/6.5 = 8

or

  L = 2W -5 = 2(6.5) -5 = 13 -5 = 8

The rectangle is 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.

4) The triangle on the right is an equilateral <br><br> Find the value of X and Y
ozzi

Answer:

<em>angle Y is 29 degrees</em>

<em>angle X is 120 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, if the triangle is an equilateral, then all the angles are equal to

60 degrees

that means the the angle at the top point is 60+31 = 91 degrees

the right point is 60 degrees

every triangle has 180 degrees total

180 - (91+60) = 29 degrees

NOW FORGET ABOUT THE EQUILATERAL FOR A BIT

180 = 31+x+29

simplify

180 = 60+x

subtract 60 from both sides

120 = x
