Answer:

Option A. x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

The area of a rectangle is given by:

Area (A) = length (L) × Width (W)

A = L × W

With the above formula, we can obtain the lenght of the rectangle as follow:

Area (A) = x² + 2x – 3

Width (W) = x – 1

Lenght (L) =?

A = L × W

(x² + 2x – 3) = L(x – 1)

Divide both side by (x – 1)

L = (x² + 2x – 3) / (x – 1)

Please see attached photo for explanation

L = x + 3

Thus, the length of the rectangle is x + 3

two factors are multiplied and their product is 34.44 one factor is a whole number.how many decimal places are in the other fact
Jobisdone [24]
Well, if the product has two decimal places and it is known that one factor has none, then the other factor must have two decimal places. Where would those two decimal places in the product come from otherwise?

Some examples:
1 * 34.44 = 34.44
2 * 17.22 = 34.44

In both cases, the non-integer factor had two decimal places.

Hope I helped, and let me know if you have any questions! :D

Triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC under a rotation about point Q.<br><br>​
yan [13]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  True; about 120° CCW rotation about Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A'B'C' appears to be congruent to triangle ABC and about the same distance from point Q. The angle of rotation from ABC to A'B'C' appears to be about 120° counterclockwise when measured using a geometry program.

Triangle A'B'C' is the image of triangle ABC under rotation about 120° CCW about point Q.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If choices of rotation angle are ±135° or ±165°, the best choice would be ...

  135°

Answer:

The probability is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to answering this question is considering the fact that the two married employees be treated as a single unit.

Now what this means is that we would be having 8 desks to assign.

Mathematically, the number of ways to assign 8 desks to 8 employees is equal to 8!

Now, the number of ways the couple can interchange their desks is just 2 ways

Thus, the number of ways to assign desks such that the couple has adjacent desks is 2(8!)

The number of ways to assign desks among all six employees randomly is 9!

Thus, the probability that the couple will have adjacent desks would be ;

2(8!)/9! = 2/9

This means that the probability that the couple have non adjacent desks is 1-2/9 = 7/9 = 0.77778

Which is 0.8 to the nearest tenth of a percent
