Answer:

• width is y metres

• length is (2 + y) metres

{ \tt{area = length \times width}} \\  \\ { \rm{21 = (2 + y)(y)}} \\  \\ { \rm{21 = 2y +  {y}^{2} }} \\  \\ { \rm{ {y}^{2} + 2y - 21 = 0 }} \\  \\ { \rm{ \dashrightarrow \: by \: factorisation : }} \\  \\ { \boxed{ \rm{y \approx4 \: and \:  - 6}}}

• Therefore, length = 4 + 2 = 6 meters

• The gardener will need;

= { \rm{ \frac{13}{6} }} \\  \\  = { \underline{ \underline{ \rm{ \: 3 \: strips \:  \: }}}}

Let's breadth be x

  • Length be x+2

ATQ

\\ \sf\longmapsto x(x+2)=21

\\ \sf\longmapsto x^2+2x=21

  • Use completing the square method

\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(x^2+2x)=4(21)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x^2+8x=84

\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x)^2+2(2x)(2)=84

\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x)^2+2(2x)(2)+2^2=2^2+84

\\ \sf\longmapsto (2x+2)^2=88

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x+2=\pm\sqrt{88}

  • As it's dimensions we will take positive

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x+2\approx 9.7

\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=9.7-2=7.7

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=3.8

  • x+2=3.8+2=5.8

Now

\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=2(L+B)

\\ \sf\longmapsto perimeter=2(3.8+5.8)

\\ \sf\longmapsto perimeter=2(9.6)

\\ \sf\longmapsto Perimeter=19.2m

  • Length of 1 strip=13m

Total strips

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{19.2}{13}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1.47strips

  • She needs 2 strips

x2 + 7x - 18 Select one of the factors of the quadratic expression. A) (x+2) B) (x+6) C) (x-2) D) (x-6)
lubasha [3.4K]
The factors of this expression would be (x+9)(x-2). You have to find two numbers that are factors of -18 that add up to 7. These numbers would be 9 and -2:
(9)x(-2)= -18
and 9 + (-2)= 7
Your answer is C) (x-2).

Find the angle of elevation of the sun when a 12.5 meter tall telephone pole casts an 18 meter
MAVERICK [17]
To answer this problem, you should know the formula that we will be using and this would be:
Angle of elevation = arc tan( (vertical height)/(length of the shadow)).

Plugging in the values in the formula. Here, this angle is:

arc tan (12.5/18) = <span>34.78 degrees</span>

The answer would be approximately 34.78 degrees
