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

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

Find perimeter of rectangle when length = 4.6m and breadth = 360cm​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

16.4 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 4.6 m

breadth = 360 cm = 360 ÷ 100 = 3.6 m

Perimeter = 2*(l + b)

                 = 2 * ( 4.6 + 3.6)

                 = 2 * 8.2

                  = 16.4 m²

Find the volume. Help asap. Please.
alexgriva [62]

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diameter:

Diameter = √(19.3^2 - 9.5^2)

Diameter = √(372.49 - 90.25)

Diameter = √282.24

Diameter = 16.8 m

Volume of a cylinder = PI x r^2 x h

r = 1/2 diameter = 16.8 /2 = 8.4

h = 9.5 m

Volume = PI x 8.4^2 x 9.5

= PI x 70.56 x 9.5

= PI x 670.32

In terms of PI volume = 670.32PI

As a decimal:

670.32 x 3.14 = 2104.8048 = 2100m^3 ( rounded to the nearest hundred)
