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

Which of the following is a true polynomial identity​
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

It's a.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a - 2b)^2 + 8ab

= a^2 - 4ab + 4b^2 + 8ab

= a^2 + 4ab + 4b^2.

((a + 2b)^2 = a^2 + 4ab + 4b^2.

Answer:

Volume of cuboid = 300 in³

Surface area of cuboid = 280 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 10 in

Width = 5 in

Height = 6 in

Find:

Volume of cuboid

Surface area of cuboid

Computation:

Volume of cuboid = [L][B][H]

Volume of cuboid = [10][5][6]

Volume of cuboid = 300 in³

Surface area of cuboid = 2[lb][bh][hl]

Surface area of cuboid = 2[(10)(5) + (5)(6) + (6)(10)]

Surface area of cuboid = 2[50 + 30 + 60]

Surface area of cuboid = 2[140]

Surface area of cuboid = 280 in²
