Answer:

The length is 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length

width  = x-3

Area = 54 = l*w

54 = x * (x-3)

Distribute

54 = x^2 -3x

Subtract 54 from each side

54-54 = x^2 -3x-54

0 =  x^2 -3x-54

Factor

What 2 number multiply to -54 and add to -3

-9 * 6 =54

-9+6 =-3

(x-9) (x+6) =0

Using the zero product property

x=9   x=-6

Since we cannot have negative length

x=9 units

The length is 9 units

Answer:

9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

length: L

Width: L - 3

Area = length × width

(L - 3) × L = 54

L² - 3L - 54 = 0

L² - 9L + 6L - 54 = 0

L(L - 9) + 6(L - 9) = 0

(L - 9)(L + 6) = 0

L = 9, -6

L = 9

In equilateral ΔABC, AD, BE, and CF are medians. If FO = 4, then AE = A) 4 B) 4 3 C) 8 D) 12
vampirchik [111]

Firstly, we need to draw triangle

we know that

O is a centroid

and centroid divides median into 2:1

so,

\frac{CO}{FO} =\frac{2}{1}

we have FO=4

so, we can plug it

\frac{CO}{4} =\frac{2}{1}

CO=8

now, we can find CF

CF=OC+FO

CF=8+4

CF=12

now, we can see triangle ACF is a right angled triangle

so, we can use pythagoras theorem

x^2=(\frac{x}{2} )^2+12^2

now, we can solve for x

\frac{3x^2}{4}=144

x^2=192

x=8\sqrt{3}

Since, it is equilateral triangle

so,

AC=x=8\sqrt{3}

we know that

E is a mid-point

so,

AE=\frac{AC}{2}

now, we can plug values

AE=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}

AE=4\sqrt{3}................Answer
