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

Solve 169x^2-42.25=0 by using square roots?<br><br> NEED HELP!!!
jekas [21]

Answer:

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation;

169x² - 42.25

Find:

Solution of equation using square root

Computation:

169x² - 42.25

We know that 13² = 169 and 6.5² = 42.25

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]²

a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)

So,

[13x]² - [6.5]² = [13x + 6.5][13x - 6.5]

So,

13x + 6.5 = 0 , 13x - 6.5 = 0

x = 6.5 / 13 , x = -6.5 / 13

x = 1/2 , x = -1/2

What number is 1/10 as great as 7,962
yanalaym [24]
Assuming your question can be rewritten as:
"What number is 10% greater than 7,962"

7962 * 110% = itself + 10%
= 7962 * 1.10   <----- (1.10 = 110%)
= 8758.2

A square region with perimeter 60 inches is made with square inch tiles. Bob removes one tile from the square and rearranges the
icang [17]

Answer:

  60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter will be minimized when the tiles are rearranged to form a rectangle with dimensions as close to each other as possible.

<h3>Rectangle dimensions</h3>

The square has a side length of ...

  P = 4s   ⇒   s = P/4 . . . . . P is perimeter, s is side length

  (60 in)/4 = 15 in . . . . length of the side of the square

The square has an area of ...

  A = s²

  A = (15 in)² = 225 in²

When 1 tile is removed, the resulting area, in square inches, is ...

  A = 225 -1 = 15² -1² = (15 -1)(15 +1) = 14×16

<h3>Perimeter</h3>

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by ...

  P = 2(L+W)

For this rectangle, the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(14 in + 16 in) = 2(30 in) = 60 in

The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 inches.
