Answer:

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = LW     formula for area of rectangle

(2x + 1)(2x) = 20      substitute length, width, and area into formula

4x² + 2x - 20 = 0      use the distributive property to multiply out left side

2x² + x - 10 = 0         divide both sides of equation by 2

(2x + 5)(x - 2) = 0        factor out trinomial

2x + 5 = 0  or  x - 2 = 0        use zero product rule to solve for x

2x = -5  or x = 2       subtract 5 from both sides; add 2 to both sides

x = -5/2  or  x = 2

We discard x = -5/2 since it would give negative length and width, and the length and width cannot be negative.

Length: 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 5

Width: 2x = 2(2) = 4

Length: 5 ft; width: 4 ft.

Find the value of x round to the nearest 10th
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

  x ≈ 12.9

Step-by-step explanation:

In relation to the angle in this right triangle, the sides marked are the adjacent side and the hypotenuse. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(72°) = 4/x

Multiplying by x/cos(72°), we have ...

  x = 4/cos(72°)

  x ≈ 12.9

I need this nowwww important
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

7,7,12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

since we know that 2 sides are equal,

4x+1=5x-0.5

5x-4x=1+0.5

x = 1.5

sub x = 1.5 into the different eqns

4(1.5)+1 = 7

5(1.5)-0.5 = 7

9(1.5)-1 = 12.5

If f(x) = 1/2x - 3 and g(x) = 2x + 5 , what is the value of (g • f)(4)
scoray [572]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

(g.f)(x) = g(f(x)) = 2( \frac{1}{2} x - 3) + 5 \\  = x - 6 + 5 = x - 1 \\ then \\ (g.f)(4) = 4 - 1 = 3
