Answer:
Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:
w(2w-4)=96
2w²-4w-96=0
w²-2w-48=0
(w-8)(w+6)=0
w=8 or -6
Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺
There are going to be two solutions because the "biggest" x is x^2 but you can factor to find what they actually are.
Answer:
arc PST = 254°
Step-by-step explanation:
arc QPT = 180° because it is a diameter
arc PQ = 74°
arc PT = 180° - 74° = 106°
arc PST = 360° - 106° = 254°
You will flip the signs when you have to multiply or divide your equation by a negative integer.
You start by finding the slope : y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
2 - 8 / 4 - (-16)
- 6 / 20
m = - 3 / 10
Point slope form : y - y1 = m( x- x1 )
You can pick either of the coordinates and substitute them in
POINT SLOPE FORM EQUATION : y - 8 = -3/10 ( x + 16 )
