Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"
So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
using the formula y = mx + b we can plug in the m and the b, getting
y = -5x - 9
Answer:
This is the other ray that will make up the angle ∠AYZ and will complete the construction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The point of the construction is to copy the angle. That is, the end result must be an angle with identical measure to the original. The construction so far has no angle at Y. Drawing ray YA will complete the construction and create the desired angle. That is, YA ...
This is the other ray that will make up the angle ∠AYZ and will complete the construction.
Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-1-4)/(2+3) = -5/5 = -1
The slope is -1
