Answer:

Formula

A = 1/2 b * h

Substitute

Area = 60 in^2

b = x

h = 2x - 1

60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)

Solve

60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2

60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)

120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.

120 = 2x^2 - x  Subtract 120 from both sides.

2x^2 -  x - 120 = 0 This factors.

(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0

Solve for x

2x + 15 = 0

2x = - 15

x = -15/2

x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.

x - 8 = 0

x = 8

Area (Check)

base = 8

height = 16 - 1 = 15

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should

Answer

Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:

What is the value of x that makes PQ←→||RS←→?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

For PQ and RS to be parallel then

∠ACQ = ∠RDB ( Alternate exterior angles ), thus

3x - 65 = 2x - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x - 65 = - 10 ( add 65 to both sides )

x = 55

The length of a rectangle is twice the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 units, find the area of the garden.​
AlexFokin [52]
Perimeter = (length+width) x 2


Let w units be the width of the rectangle.

Length of the rectangle = 2w

Perimeter:
(2w+w) x 2 = 60

(3w)2 = 60

6w = 60

w = 10


Area:
2(10) x 10

= 20 x 10

= 200 units
