Answer:

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

Width of rectangle = 5 inch

Length of rectangle = 2 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangle = 10 inch²

Length of rectangle = 2[Width of rectangle] - 8

Find:

Equation

Value of length and width

Computation;

Assume;

Width of rectangle = x

So,

Length of rectangle = 2[Width of rectangle] - 8

Length of rectangle = 2x - 8

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

10 = x(2x - 8)

2x² - 8x - 10 = 0

Divide by 2 from both side

x² - 4x - 5 = 0

x² - (5-1)x - 5 = 0

x² - 5x + x- 5 = 0

x(x - 5) + 1(x - 5)

x = 5 and x = -1

So,

Width of rectangle = 5 inch

Length of rectangle = 2x - 8

Length of rectangle = 2(5) - 8

Length of rectangle = 2 inch

A chain has a ribbon tied to it every 2/3 foot. If the chain is 10 2/3 feet long, how many ribbons are tied to the chain??
patriot [66]

Answer:

16 ribbons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the length of the chain as 10\frac{2}{3} and there is a ribbon tied to it every \frac{2}{3}, we can take the total length of the chain and divide by the measure of \frac{2}{3}:

10\frac{2}{3}=\frac{32}{3}

\frac{\frac{32}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{32}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{96}{6}=16

When dividing with fractions, we use the rule of 'keep/change/flip' to keep the first fractions, change the operation to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

1.which side of AFED does AB in AABC correspond to?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Rotate one of them so the right angle is in the same orientation as the other one.

1. AB = DE

2. CB = FE

3. AC = DF

4. Compare the length of two known sides: cb and EF

CB = 3 and EF = 8

8/3 = 2 2/3 scale factor

5. Ab is side de. Multiply the length of ab by the scale factor:

4 x 2 2/3 = 10 2/3

6. FD = sqrt ( 10 2/3^2 + 8^2)

FD = 13 1/3
