Answer:
1a) Length = 7x + 3 & Width = 4x - 2
1b) Area =
1c) Area = 2774 sq. m
2.
Step-by-step explanation:
1a)
The length given as words is "3 more than 7 times x"
The width given as words is "4 times x minus 2"
The expression for length would be 7x + 3
The expression for width would be 4x - 2
1b)
The area is length * width
Since we already know the algebraic expressions for length and width from part (a) above, we use the formula:
Area = (7x+3)(4x-2) = 28x^2 -14x + 12x - 6 = 28x^2 -2x -6
Area =
1c)
Given x = 10, we put this into the area expression we found in (b) above.Let's see:
Area = 2774 sq. m
2.
We can group the first two terms and next two terms and write up:
That's the factored form.
Answer: C. 17.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2
18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2
BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75
BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.
