Answer:

the length=8

the rectangle=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

+)convention:

the lengt=a

the width = b => the area of the rectangle = a.b=44m^2 (1)

+) "the length of the rectangle is 3m less than twice the width"

=> 2b-a = 3 (m)

=> a=2b-3

substitute a for (1), we get

the area of the rectangle = a.b = (2b-3).b=44 m^2

=> 2b^2-3b-44=0

=> b=-4 (wrong)

=> b= 5.5 =the width

the lengt = the area of the rectangle/the width=44/5.5=8 m

KonstantinChe [14]

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The number of rows in the original pattern will be 4.

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the number of rows be represented by x. Now, the pattern has rows that are 5 tiles wide and an unknown number of rows. if you take these tiles and add one additional tile, you can create a pattern that has rows that are 3 tiles wide, with 3 more total rows than the original pattern. Therefore, we can write,

(Number of Tiles before) + 1 tile = (Number of Tiles afterward)

5x + 1 = 3(x+3)

5x + 1 = 3x + 9

5x - 3x = 9 - 1

2x = 8

x = 4

Hence, the number of rows in the original pattern will be 4.

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with rational denominator.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

sqrt(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two perpendicular side lengths are equal, so using Pythagoras theorem:

x = sqrt( sqrt(10)^2 + sqrt(10)^2 )

x = sqrt(10 + 10)

x = sqrt(20)
