Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

put unknown as y

area of rectangle = width × long

y(y - 2)=48

y² -2y =48

u can use scientific calculator to find this

y²-2y-48=0

(y-8)(y+6)=0

y=8 y=-6

take the positive value and ignore the negative value

width=y-2 long=8

8-2=6

I hope this help you :)

How do I know if lines are perpendicular
AveGali [126]

You can tell if lines are perpendicular or not by seeing if meet in a right angle. A right angle is like a square, and the lines would have to be 90 degrees.

One example is when the two lines (horizontal and vertical) meet each other at the ends.

(You MUST make sure that they are directly horizontal and vertical. If not, they will either be acute or obtuse).

I hope this helped!

How many 3 digit numbers can you make using these numbers: 4,2,9 (numbers can be reapeated)
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

You can make 27 different 3 digit numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can use 3 different numbers this means that each of the 3 digits can be one of the 3 numbers (4,2,9). This means that there are 3 different values for the first digit, 3 different values for the second digit, and 3 different values for the third digit, which mean that we can make 3 x 3 x 3 different 3 digit numbers (we took the number of possible values for each digit and multiplied them together.

3 x 3 x 3 = 27

A straight line that is parallel to one of the sides of a given triangle intersects its other two sides (or their extensions) an
timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that this triangle is similar because it will have all of the same angles as the first triangle. This is because two parallel lines cut by a transversal will create the same angles. In addition, they share the final angle because we are not changing that angle. Therefore, all 3 are the same, which makes them similar triangles.
