Answer: 42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x

Therefore, width = 2/3x

Area = Length × Width

Therefore, x × 2/3x = 1176

2/3x² = 1176

Divide both side by 2/3

x² = 1176 ÷ 2/3

x² = 1176 × 3/2

x² = 1764

x = ✓1764

x = 42

The length is 42 feet

Answer:

7000

Step-by-step explanation:

lets start with 695

9 is the thousand

you check the number next to 9

less then 4 let it rest

more than 5 let it soar

something like that lol

anyways since 5 is next to the 9 we round up from 9 to the next number which is 10

so that changes the whole number to 7000

What is the vertex of the function f(x) = x2 + 12x?
Sophie [7]
We can start by figuring out the axis of symmetry.

y = x² + 12x = x (x + 12)

So roots are x = -12 or 0

Therefore axis of symmetry is x   =   (-12 + 0) / 2   =   -6

We got x-coordinate of vertex. Now plug in x=-6 to solve for y.

y = (-6)² + 12(-6)   =   36 - 72   =   -36

Therefore vertex is (-6, -36).
