For this question you have to solve the equation backwards.
A = 1/2 x (b1 + b2) x h
In order to get rid of the 1/2 (since it's division) multiply each side by 2
now we have: 2A = (b1 + b2) x h
Now do the same to the get rid of the (b1 + b2) (divide each side by it)
2A/(b1 + b2) = h
Width of the rectangle is 9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the width of the rectangle be x. Then the length = x - 3. Find dimensions of the rectangle if its area = 54 sq. units
Area of the rectangle = length × width
54 = x (x - 3)
54 = x² - 3x
x² - 3x - 54 = 0
x² + 6x - 9x - 54 = 0 (Using Product Sum rule to factorize)
x(x + 6) - 9(x + 6) = 0
(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0
x = -6, 9 (negative value is neglected)
x = 9 units
Yeah, base is ten and the two sides are 5...
If you use the equation for Rachel it would be
y=3x and for oliver it would be y=2x+5
Rise over run is -2/4 or simplified as -1/2
