Find two consecutive positive integers such that the sum of their squares is 421 .

We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic 
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421

Hope that helps you!!

The ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 8 to 5. If the longer side of the rectangle is 20ft, what is the length o
choli [55]

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.

54 muffins because if you take both your given fraction find the nearest common denominator which is 3 4/12 divide the 4 and 12 to get 3 than divide by 0.10 than divided by a whole 10 which got me 3.03 etc.

Round it see how many times it can go into 10 3 times than multiply it by 18.
