Answer:

Let the Width(W) =X feet

then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet

Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet

A = L× W

L×W=A

(2X-3) × X = 77

2X²- 3X =77

2X²-3X -77=0

Solving it using the factorization method

2X²-14X+11X-77=0

(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0

2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0

(2X+11)(X-7) =0

When 2X+11=0

X= -11/2

When X-7=0

X = 7

Therefore X= 7

Width = X feet

= 7feet

The width is 7feet

Length = (2X-3)feet

= (2×7) -3)feet

=(14-3)feet

=11feet

Step-by-step explanation

2 + 5 is 7 which equals 1 person 7 x 5 = 35 which means their will be 5 people per group because 30 {room cost} plus 35 is 65

what do i mean?

2 + 5 IS 1 person and 2 plus 5 is 7 so the remaining money they have would be 35 because 65 minus 30 is 35 so i divid 35 by 7 which brings 5 people

Find the length of the missing side using the pythagorean theorem
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c²

You can fill in the numbers you know: a²+4²=5²

(Hypotenuse must be side c)

Square those numbers and you have: a²+16=25

Subtract 16 from both sides: a²=9

Square root both sides and you get: a=3
