Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- width: 18 in
- length: 27 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The relations between length (L) and width (W) are ...
W +9 = L
LW = 486
Substituting gives ...
(W+9)W = 486
W^2 +9W -486 = 0 . . . put in standard form
(W +27)(W -18) = 0 . . . . factor
W = 18 . . . . the positive solution
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches; the length is 27 inches.

<em>Comment on factoring</em>
There are a number of ways to solve quadratics. Apart from using a graphing calculator, one of the easiest is factoring. Here, we're looking for factors of -486 that have a sum of 9.
486 = 2 × 3^5, so we might guess that the factors of interest are -2·3² = -18 and 3·3² = 27. These turn out to be correct: -18 +27 = 9; (-18)(27) = -486.
Answer:
C. 73 if I have read the given angle measurements correctly.
The angle measurements I see are:


.
Step-by-step explanation:
Those angles together form a full rotation. A full rotation is equal to 360 degrees.
So we have the following equation to solve:

Combine like terms:

Simplify:


Divide both sides be 2:

Subtract 107 on both sides:

y + 8 = 1/3 (x+6)
With the given information, we can use the point-slope formula, , to write the equation of the line. Substitute values for the , , and in the formula to do so.
The represents the slope, so substitute in its place. The and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, so substitute -6 for and -8 for . This gives the following answer and equation (just make sure to convert the double negatives into positives:
