Answer:

The length of the plywood diagonal is 4.387\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the length of the rectangle

y----> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The diagonal of rectangle is equal to

d=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2} } -----> equation A

d=y+3 ----> equation B

x=3y -----> equation C

substitute equation C and equation B in equation A and solve for y

(y+3)=\sqrt{(3y)^{2}+y^{2}}

squared both sides

(y+3)^{2}=10y^{2}\\ \\y^{2}+6y+9=10y^{2}\\ \\9y^{2}-6y-9=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is y=1.387\ units

see the attached figure

Find the value of d

d=y+3----- > d=1.387+3=4.387\ units

I really don’t get this , it’s graphing linear inequalities
ElenaW [278]

The first step in graphing a linear inequality is to graph the linear equality. The equation -x + 4y = -8 is equivalent to 4y = x - 8, which is equivalent to y = \frac{1}{4}x - 2. This is the equation for the line in slope-intercept form, so the line will have a slope of 1/4 and a y-intercept of -2 (see the first image). Notice that the line is solid, rather than dotted. This represents that points on the line are included in the solution, because the inequality sign is ≥, which is not a strict equality (< or >).

Next, we need to figure out which side to shade. To do so, simply pick any point (I like to use the point (0,0) because it makes the calculations easy) and see whether it satisfies the inequality. If it does, shade the side with that point, and if not, shade the opposite side of the graph.

Here we see that the point (0,0) does satisfy the inequality, since -(0) + 4(0) is 0, and 0 ≥ -8, so the top half of the graph should be shaded (see the second image).
