Answer:

There are 2 options:

  • x = 32 cm and y = 62 cm
  • x = 62 cm and y = 32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

That's a rectangular piece, therefore let's consider the width to be x and the length to be y.

A = width * length

1) A = x * y = 1,984 cm^2

P = 2 * (width) + 2 * (length)

2) P = 2x + 2y = 188 cm

Isolate x or y in one of the equations.

xy = 1,984 cm^2

y = 1,984 cm^2 / x

Now plug it in the second equation.

2x + 2y = 188 cm

2x + 2 * (1,984 / x) = 188

Now we have only one variable. Now just solve it alegebraically.

2x + (3,968 / x) = 188

Multiply both sides by x in order to get rid of the fraction.

2x^{2} + 3968 = 188 x

Substract both sides by 188 x

2x^2 + 3968 - 188x = 0

Now divide by 2 to make the equation simpler.

x^2 - 94x + 1984 = 0

use the quadratic formula:

\frac{94 + \sqrt{(-94)^2 - 4(1)(1984)} }{2(1)} = 62\\\frac{94 - \sqrt{(-94)^2 - 4(1)(1984)} }{2(1)} = 32    

  x1 = \frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\x2 = \frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}

x is either 62 or 32.

let's find y:

y = 1,984 / x

y = 1,984 / 62 = 32

y = 1,984 / 32 = 62

There are 2 options:

  • x = 32 cm and y = 62 cm
  • x = 62 cm and y = 32 cm

Use the standard algorithm to find the product of 853 and 59. Record the product of multiplying by the ones digit, the product o
bearhunter [10]

The product of multiplying the ones digit of 59 by 853 is 7677 and the product of multiplying the tens digit of 59 by 853 is 42650 and the final product is 50327

<h3>How to determine the product of the numbers?</h3>

The numbers are given as

853 and 59

By using the standard algorithm i.e. the partial product method, we have the following equation

853 * 59 = 853 * (50 + 9)

Open the bracket

So, we have

853 * 59 = 853 * 50 + 853 * 9

Evaluate the products

So, we have

853 * 59 = 42650 + 7677

The above means that the product of multiplying the ones digit of 59 by 853 is 7677 and the product of multiplying the tens digit of 59 by 853 is 42650

Next, we evaluate the sum

853 * 59 = 50327

This means that the final product is 50327
