<h3>Given :-</h3>
  • The length of a rectangle is 6 more than the width

  • Area of rectangle = 720 feet²

\\

<h3>To find:-</h3>
  • Length
  • Width

\\

<h3>Let :-</h3>
  • Width of rectangle = x
  • Length of rectangle = 6 + x

\\

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

So to find length and width of rectangle, we have to<u> find value of x.</u>

\\

We know:-

\bigstar \boxed{ \rm Area~of~rectangle=Length\times{}Width}

By using this formula we can find value of x.

\\

So:-

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf Area~of~rectangle=Length\times{}Width \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720=(x + 6)(x)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720=x(x) +x( 6)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720= {x}^{2}  +x( 6)

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf 720= {x}^{2}  +6x

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf0 = {x}^{2}  +6x - 720

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf {x}^{2}  +6x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf {x}^{2}  +30x - 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf ({x}^{2}  +30x )- 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 )- 24x - 720 = 0

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 ) + (- 24x - 720) = 0 \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf x({x}+30 ) - 24(x+ 30) = 0 \\

\\

\dashrightarrow\sf (x - 24)({x}+30 )= 0 \\

\\

We got two solutions:-

first solution

  • x - 24 = 0
  • x = 24

Second solution :-

  • x + 30 = 0
  • x = -30

Length can't be taken negative so 24 is the value of x.

\\

Value of width:-

  • Width of rectangle = x
  • Width = 24 feet

\\

Value of Length:-

  • Length of rectangle = x + 6
  • Length = 24 + 6
  • Length = 30 feet

Find the total surface area of this square based
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

300ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area = Area of base + (1/2) x perimeter of base x slant height

Area of base = length² = 10 x 10 = 100

Perimeter of base = 2 ( length + breadth)

2 x 20 = 40

slant height = 10

100 + (1/2) x 40 x 10 = 300 ft^2

A heron is perched in a tree 50 feet above sea level. Directly below the heron, a pelican is flying 17 feet above sea level. Dir
Olegator [25]

Answer:

A. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is -33 feet.

E. The difference in height between the pelican and the trout is 40 feet.

F. The distance between the heights of the pelican and the trout is 40 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The missing statements are:</h3><h3> A. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is -33 feet</h3><h3> B. The difference in height between the pelican and the heron is 33 feet</h3><h3> C. The distance between the heights of the pelican and heron is -33 feet</h3><h3> D. The difference in height between the pelican and the trout is -40 feet</h3><h3> E. The difference in height between the pelican and the trout is 40 feet</h3><h3> F. The distance between the heights of the pelican and the trout is 40 feet.</h3><h3 />

Let be 0 the sea level.

Since the heron is perched in a tree 50 feet above sea level and directly below the heron the  pelican is flying 17 feet above sea level, you can find the difference in height between the pelican and the heron by subtracting 50 feet from 17 feet.

Then, you get that this is:

17\ feet-50\ feet=-33\ feet

Now, according the the information given in the exercise, you know that the trough is swimming directly below them and its height is 23 feet below sea level. If you represent this with an integer, this is:

-23

Therefore you can find the difference in height between the pelican and the trout through the following subtraction:

17\ feet-(-23\ feet)=17\ feet+23\ feet=40\ feet

And the distance between them is 40 feet too.
