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

-16t squared + 16t + 480 t=time after jumping in seconds h=height in feet How many seconds did did it take her to hit the water
Agata [3.3K]
That is height
h=16t^2+16t+480
when h=0 is when it hits the water

0=16t^2+16t+480
undistribbute 16 for ease
0=16(t^2+t+30)
16*0=0 so assume
t^2+t+30=0
factor
(t+6)(t-5)=0
set to zero

t+6=0
minus 6
t=-6
false, since you cannot have negative time

t-5=0
add 5
t=5

at t=5 she hits the water


5 seconds

Solve.<br> X = -7<br> 4x - 4y = 12<br> (x,y)
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

(-7, -10)

x=-7\\y=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-4y=12

Substitute x for -7.

4(-7)-4y=12

Multiply 4 by -7.

-28-4y=12

Add 28 on both sides.

-4y=40

Divide -4 on both sides.

y=-10
