Answer:

  • The length = x = 15 units
  • The width = x-5 = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the length of a rectangle

As the width of a rectangle is 5 units less than the length.

so

width of rectangle will be = w = x - 5 units

Area = 150 square units

Using the formula

Area = length × width

150=\left(x\right)\left(x-5\right)

150=x^2-5x

x^2-5x=150

Subtract 50 from both sides

x^2-5x-150=150-150

x^2-5x-150=0

\left(x+10\right)\left(x-15\right)=0

if

ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)

x+10=0\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x-15=0

x=-10,\:x=15

As length can not be negative. so

x = 15 units

Hence,

The length = x = 15 units

The width = x-5 = 15-5 = 10 units

When simplifying this, we would have to take this little by little in serious steps and not only this, but to also take notice of the use of <u>pemdas</u> and to make sure that we take each step carefully.

We first would <u></u><u>(first)</u> simplify the following:

(((x^6)*(y^3))*(0-(8x*(y^2))))*(0-(2*3x^3)) \\ \\ then \ we \ would \ do . .  . . \\ \\  x^7  \ multiplied \ by \ x^3 \ = x^(^7^ +^ 3^) = \ x^1^0 \\ \\ (last \ step).... \\ \\ 2^3 \   multiplied \ by \ 2^1   = 2^(^3^ +^ 1^) = 2^4 \\ \\ \Longrightarrow \ (your \ answer) \\ \\ \boxed{\bf{  (2^4*3x^1^0y^5)}}

Roger is a florist who uses a triangular-shaped frame to arrange flower bouquets. He received an order to make a new bouquet suc
kvv77 [185]

The locations specified in the order regarding the shape will be B. longest side AC; smallest angle ∠C.

<h3>How to express the information?</h3>

From the information given, in the triangle where A = 59°, B is unknown, and C = 41°. Therefore, the value of B will be:

= 180° - (59° + 41°)

= 180° - 100°

= 80°

Therefore, the locations specified in the order regarding the shape will be longest side AC; smallest angle ∠C.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.

For question 3, use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Juliette [100K]

Step-by-step explanation:

can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.

use the fact that they are similar

so

3/6 = x/12 where x is FE

cross multiply

6x = 36 therefore FE = 6

then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD

cross multiply

12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5
