Answer:

width is 4 inches

length is 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the length is 6 inches less than three times the width

l = 3w - 6

a = l * w

a = (3w - 6)w

a = 3w^2 - 6w

area of the rectangle is 24 square inches

3w^2 - 6w = 24

subtract 24 from both sides

3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0

Divide both sides by 3

w^2  - 2w - 8 = 0

Factor

(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0

w = {-2, 4}

disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive

w = 4

l = 3w - 6

l = 3(4) - 6

l = 6

assuming that no questions are left unanswered, in how many ways can a six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions
AfilCa [17]

Given:

Total number of questions = 6

Choice for each question (in MCQ) = 4

Assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

To find:

The total number ways to answer the quiz, assuming that no questions are left unanswered.

Solution:

Here, Number of ways to answer each question = 4

To find the  total number ways to answer 6 MCQ, we have to have to multiply number of ways to answer each question 6 times.

Total number of ways to answer six-question quiz with 4-choice multiple choice questions is

4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4\times 4=4096

Therefore, the required number of ways is 4096.

What is the length of segment QR? (Show all work)
vazorg [7]
So if QR and PQ are the same ( which they are bc the angles and other sides are the same) 3n-1= 5n-7 so -1= 2n -7 so 6 = 2n so n = 3 then QR is 5n -7 so 5 x 3 is 15-7 is 8 so the answer is 8. Hope this helps :)
