Answer:

Width = 5

Length = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Width, = x

Length = 2x + 1

Area of rectangular garden is given as 55 ft²

Area of a rectangular garden, A = Length * width

Hence,

x * (2x + 1) = 55

2x² + x = 55

2x² + x - 55 = 0

Using the quadratic equation formula :

a = 2 ; b = 1, c = - 55

-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac) / 2a

Using the quadratic equation solver to save computation time :

The roots are :

-5.5 and 5

Dimension can't be negative ; so x = 5

Hence,

width, x = 5

Length, 2x + 1 = 2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

Hence,

Width = 5

Length = 11

Ksju [112]

Answer:

x-intercept is (-4,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways to find the y-intercept. One way is to put the equation in slope-intercept form. However, there is a more efficient way as well.

Another way to do it is to plug 0 in for x and y. The x-intercept will have the coordinate of (x,0). So to find the x-intercept you can plug in 0 for y and solve for x. To find the y-intercept do the opposite and plug 0 in for x.

So, first, plug 0 in for y

  1. x+2(0)=-4
  2. x+0=-4
  3. x=-4

Then plug in 0 for x

  1. 0+2y=-4
  2. 2y=-4
  3. y=-2

Therefore, the x-intercept is (-4,0) and the y-intercept is (0,-2).

Lines CD and DE are tangent to circle A shown below: If Arc CE is 112°, what is the measure of ∠CDE? a 124° b 136° c 68° d 56°
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The central angle of this is 112 degrees. That is CAE is 112 degrees. That being the case, CDE is 90 + 90 + 112  = 292 Tangents make a 90 degree angle with the center of the circle.

CDE = 360 - 292 = 68

C
