Solving a word problem using a quadratic equation with rationa...

Mathematics

choli [55]3 years ago

Answer:

length : 8 m

width : 13/2 = 6.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = l(ength)×w(idth) = 52

l = 2w - 5

=> (2w - 5)×w = 52

=> 2w² -5w - 52 = 0

we know, when transforming this quadratic equation into a multiplication of two expressions of w, that we need to have 2w and w (to make 2w²), and then which 2 numbers multiply to 52 and add to -5 (when one is multiplied by 2 due to 2w) : -13 and 4

=> (2w - 13)×(w + 4) = 0

=> 2 solutions for w :

2w-13 = 0

2w = 13, w = 13/2

w+4 = 0, w = -4

negative values for a side length of a shape do not make sense, so the only usable solution is w = 13/2

=> l = 2w - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8

Jasmine is designing boxes she will use to ship her jewelry. She wants to shape the box like a regular polygon. In order for the
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The regular polygon that she should use is an equilateral  triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Interior angles = 0.5 × Exterior angles

Exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360/n

Sum of interior angles of a regular polygon = (n - 2) × 180

Where n = the number of sides

Therefore, the sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°

Hence we have;

(n - 2) × 180 = 360/2 = 180

n - 2 = 180/180 = 1

n = 1 + 2 = 3 which is a three sided regular polygon or an equilateral triangle

Therefore, the regular polygon that she should use is an equilateral  triangle

ziro4ka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

the line passes through (6, 2) and (10, -1),

the slope =

(-1-2)/(10-6) = -3/4

the equation :

y-2 = -3/4(x -6)
