L = 8w-32

w(8w-32) = 96

8x^2 - 32w - 96 = 0

w^2 - 4w - 12 = 0

(w - 6)(w + 2 ) = 0

w+2=0 results in negative measures

w-6=0 ---> w = 6

width is 6

length is 8(6) - 32 = 48-32 = 16

A walkway forms one diagonal of a square playground. The walkway is 22 m long. How long is a side of the playground?

You can think of a square as two isosceles right angle triangles and use Pythagoras.

x^2 + x^2 = 22^2
x^2 + x^2 = 484
2x^2 = 484
x^2 = 242
x = 11√2

One side of the playground is 11√2 m long.

Can you please tell the value of x? Thx

AleksandrR [38]

External angle is equal to the sum of the other 2 internal angles

2x=x-5+63
minus x from both sides
x=-5+63
x=58

x=58°

Evaluate using suitable identity:<br>e). 102 × 98

chubhunter [2.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>★ Solution :-</u></h3>

$\sf \longmapsto 102 \times 98$

$\sf \longmapsto (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2$

Here,

a = 100
b = 2

$\sf \longmapsto (100 + 2)(100 - 2) = 100^2 - 2^2$

$\sf \longmapsto 100^2 - 2^2$

$\sf \longmapsto 10000 - 4$

$\sf \longmapsto 9996$

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers 5+(-5)=0

ozzi

In this question , we have to find the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers

$5+(-5) = 0$

The postulate is Additive inverse postulate which states that

$a+ (-a) =0$

Where a is the real number and -a is the opposite of a. It states that , if opposite of a number is added with the number, the result is 0 .
