Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the missing side is 7

so 7 x 8 = 56

To find the missing side:

You must add 8 + 8 = 16

Subtract 16 from the total perimeter = 14.

Divide 14 by 2 = 7 you divide by two since there are two missing lengths and when you add them they have to equal to 14.

a gardenner is designing a new garden in the shape of a trapezoing she wants the short base to be twice the height and loger bas

taurus [48]

Answer:

Height = 5 ft

Short base = 10 ft

Long base = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h = height, a = short base, b = long base.

From the question,

a = 2h

b = a + 4 = 2h + 4

The area of the trapezoid is given by $\frac{1}{2}(a+b)h$ . Thus,

$60 = \frac{1}{2}(2h + 2h + 4)h$

$60 = \frac{(4h + 4)h }{2}$

$60 = \frac{4h(h + 1)}{2}$

$60 = 2h(h + 1)$

$30 = h(h + 1)$

$0 = h^2 + h - 30$

$0 = (h+6)(h-5)$

$h-5 = 0$ or $h+6 = 0$

$h= 5$ or $h = -6$

We discard the negative value of h since it is a measurement and cannot be negative.

$h= 5$

$a= 2h=2\times5=10$

$b= a+4=10+4=14$

The dimensions of a rectangle can be given by x+9 and x-2. If the area is 60ft^2, what is the value of X?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 9) * (x - 2) = 60

x^2 - 2x + 9x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x = 78

FACTORING:

x(x + 7) = 78

x = 6

charla wants to determine the vertex of the function f(x)=x^2-18x+60 by changing the function into vertex form.

Vlad1618 [11]

$x^2-18x+60 =\\
x^2-18x+81-21=\\
(x-9)^2-21$

The vertex is $(9,-21)$
