Iit is the first choice where it says the side length of the white square is b -a....
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
here's our equation: 3x=x+8
Our goal: to isolate x onto one side with nothing else on that side.
x is on both sides; we can subtract x from both sides to make the variables and numbers be on different sides
2x=8
Now we can divide by 2
x=4
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
256
Step-by-step explanation:
since the the path surounds both sides of the garden you have to add 2 x instead of just x
let me show you what i mean. 10=garden width and 3=path width=x
since it is a square, we can calculate the area by taking one side and squaring it so you get (10+2x)^2 which is 16^2 since x is 3, the width of the garden
to do simaler problems just use thei formula (garden length+2path length)^2 or (garden length+2path length)times(garden length+2path length)
Answer:
a = 17 sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
sin theta = opposite / hypotenuse
sin 45 = 17/a
Multiply each side by a
a sin 45 = 17
Divide each side by sin 45
a = 17 / sin 45
a = 17 / ( 1 / sqrt(2))
a = 17 sqrt(2)
-2 7/12 ... decimal form -2.583 ... exact form -31/12
