Answer:

The dimensions are:

Length = 5m and Width = 4m

Or

Length = 4m and Width = 5m

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular dining room has an area of 20 square meters. It's perimeter is 18 meters. What are the dimensions of the dining room?

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

= LW = 20 m²

Perimeter of a rectangle =

2L + 2W = 18 m

Hence:

LW = 20...... Equation 1

L = 20/W

2L + 2W = 18 ...... Equation 2

We substitute

20/W for L in Equation 2

2(20/W) + 2W = 18

40/W + 2W = 18

Multiply through by W

40 + 2W² = 18W

2W² - 18W + 40 = 0

2W² - 10W - 8W + 40 = 0

(2W - 8 )(W - 5) = 0

2W - 8 = 0

2W = 8 , W = 8/2 = 4m

W - 5 = 0

W = 5m

W = 4m or 5 m

Solving for L

When W = 5 m

L = 20/W

L = 20/5

L = 4m

When W = 4m

L = 20/W

L = 20/4

L = 5m

Therefore, the dimensions are:

Length = 5m and Width = 4m

Or

Length = 4m and Width = 5m

Instructions: Find the missing side lengths. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x = 10\sqrt{3}, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine/ cosine ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} , cos60° = \frac{1}{2} , then

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{20} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

2x = 20\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10\sqrt{3}

and

cos60° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{y}{20} = \frac{1}{2} ( cross- multiply )

2y = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 10

1.

3d-4+d=8d+12 \implies \\4d-4=8d+12 \implies-4d=16 \implies\\ d=-4

2.

f-6=-2f+3(f-2) \implies \\ f-6=-2f+3f-6 \implies\\  f-6=f-6 \implies\\ 0=0 \implies \text{ all real numbers are a solution to this problem}

What’s the translation from the graph y=6x^2 to the graph y=6(x+1)^2
Leno4ka [110]

For this case, the main function is given by:

y = 6x ^ 2

We can apply the following transformation:

Horizontal displacements:

Assume h> 0:

To graph f (x + h) move the graph of f (x) h units to the left.

For h = 1 we have:

y = 6 (x + 1) ^ 2

Answer:

the graph y=6(x+1)^2 is the graph y=6x^2 moved 1 unit to the left.
