The diagonal of a rectangular figure is an illustration of Pythagoras theorem

The length is 16 in, and the width is 12 in

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Diagonal = 20}

\mathbf{Length = 4 + Width}

The diagonal is calculated using, the following Pythagoras theorem

\mathbf{Diagonal^2 = Length^2 + Width^2}

Represent length with L and width with W

So, we have:

\mathbf{20^2 = L^2 + W^2}

\mathbf{400 = L^2 + W^2}

This gives

\mathbf{400 = (4 + W)^2 + W^2}

Expand

\mathbf{400 = 16 + 8W + W^2 + W^2}

\mathbf{400 = 16 + 8W + 2W^2}

Divide through by 2

\mathbf{200 = 8 + 4W +W^2}

Rewrite as:

\mathbf{W^2 + 4W +8 -200 = 0}

\mathbf{W^2 + 4W - 192 = 0}

Using a calculator, we have:

\mathbf{W = \{-16,12\}}

The width cannot be negative.

So, we have:

\mathbf{W =12}

Recall that:

\mathbf{Length = 4 + Width}

This gives

\mathbf{L= 4 + 12}

\mathbf{L= 16}

Hence, the length is 16 in, and the width is 12 in

11. Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.
azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is simply a(1), and is 5.

The fourth term is a(4), and is 5 + (1/6)(4-1), or 5  3/6  or 5 1/2.

The tenth term is a(10), and is 5 + (1/6)(10 - 1), or 5  + 3/2, or  6 1/2.

F(x) = x2 – 3x + 5 g(x) = V22 – 2x Calculate g (f (1)).​
erik [133]

Step-by-step explanation:

So first of all we plug in 1 into f(x) and the result of that into g(x).

f(1)=(1)^2-3(1)+5

=1-3+5

=3

g(3)=(3)(22)-2(3)

=66-6

=60

Over the last three evenings, Debra received a total of 110 phone calls at the call center. The second evening, she received 4 t
Elza [17]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 110

Let calls on third evening = x

second evening = 4x

first evening = x + 8

=> x + 4x + x + 8 = 110

=> 6x = 102

=> x = 17

First evening = x = 17 calls

Second evening = 4x = 68 calls

Third evening = x + 8 = 25 calls
