Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No these triangles are not congruent.

<u>Left triangle</u>

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = 13 cm

3rd side = unknown but < 13

<u>Right triangle</u>

Shortest side = 6 cm

Longest side = unknown but > 13

3rd side = 13 cm

Although the shortest side of both triangles is 6 cm, the longest side of the left triangle is 13 cm, whereas the longest side of the right triangle is unknown but will be more than 13 cm.

We do not know if any of the angles are congruent. If they were congruent, we would expect to see this marked by the same angle line(s) on each triangle.

Answer:

x² + 18x +81

x² - 14x +49

4x²- 4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the x in the first parentheses by x and 9 in the other parentheses and

multiply the 9 in the first parentheses by x and 9 in the other parentheses and add all together

(x+9)(x+9)

x² + 9x + 9x + 81

x² + 18x +81

multiply the x in the first parentheses by x and -7 in the other parentheses and multiply the -7 in the first parentheses by x and -7 in the other parentheses and add all together

(x-7)(x-7)

x² -7x - 7x +49

x² - 14x +49

(2x-1)² is the same as (2x-1)(2x-1)

multiply the 2x in the first parentheses by 2x and -1 in the other parentheses and multiply the -1 in the first parentheses by 2x and -1 in the other parentheses and add all together

(2x-1)(2x-1)

4x²-2x-2x+1

4x²- 4x - 1

The dimensions of a rectangle can be given by x+9 and x-2. If the area is 60ft^2, what is the value of X?

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$x=5$

Dimensions of rectangle are

W=14 and L = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Are of rectangle is

$A=WL$ --------(1)

Where W is width and L is length of rectangle

Here

A=60

W=x+9

L=x-2

Substituting values in equation (1)

$60 = (x+9) (x-2)$

$60 = x^{2} +9x -2x -18$

$x^{2} + 7x - 78 = 0$

Using quadratic formula

$x=\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac} }{2a}$

Here a=1, b=7 and C=-78

$x= \frac{-7 +/- \sqrt{7^{2} - 4(-78)} }{2}$ (Here +/- = ±)

$x= \frac{-7 +/- \sqrt{ 49 + 312} }{2}$

$x= \frac{-7 +/- \sqrt{ 361} }{2}\\x= \frac{-7+/- 19}{2}$ $x= \frac{-7 + 19 }{2} \ \ and \ \ x= \frac{-7-19 }{2}$

$x= \frac{12 }{2} \ \ and \ \ x= \frac{-26 }{2}$

$x= 5 \ \ and \ \ x= -13$

x cannot be negative (Negative x means -ve dimensions of rectangle). Therefore

$x=5$

Dimensions of the rectangle are

$W=x+9 = 5+9 = 14$

$L= x - 2 = 5-2 = 3$

Solve 2x2 + 12x - 14 = 0 by completing the square

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\qquad(*)\\\\\\2x^2+12x-14=0\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\x^2+6x-7=0\qquad\text{add 7 to both sides}\\\\x^2+2(x)(3)=7\qquad\text{add}\ 3^2=9\ \text{to both sides}\\\\\underbrace{x^2+2(x)(3)+3^2}_{(*)}=7+9\\\\(x+3)^2=16\Rightarrow x+3=\pm\sqrt{16}\\\\x+3=-4\ or\ x+3=4\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\x=-7\ or\ x=1$
