Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 32 feet and width is 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • The length of a rectangle is 12 feet more than twice the width and area is 320 square feet

Let's assume, width of rectangle x feet and length of the Rectangle be 12 + 2x respectively. To Calculate the length and width of rectangle we'll use the formula of area of rectangle:

\\  \star \: { \underline{ \boxed { \pmb{ \sf{ \purple{Area  _{(rectangle)}= Length \times width}}}}}} \\ \\

Substituting the required values:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: (12 +2x) (x) = 320 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 12x + 2x^2 = 320 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 12x + 2x^2- 320 = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2x^2 + 12 - 320 = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x^2 + 6x - 160) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x^2 + 16x - 10x - 160) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: \: \: 2(x - 10)(x + 16) = 0 \\

\dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \underline{  \boxed{ \purple{ \pmb{ \rm{  x = 10  \: or \: -16}}}}} \\

Hence,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 10 feet
  • Length of rectangle = 12 + 2x = 12 + 2(10) = 32 feet

~

\underline{\therefore{ \pmb { \frak{Length \:  and  \: width  \: of \:  rectangle  \: is   \: 32  \: and  \: 10  \:ft}}}}

Find the value of X <br> WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a picture of a right angle, which is 90 degrees. We should first make an equation to represent this problem.

(x - 12) + 50 = 90

1. Subtract 50 from both sides of the equation.

(x - 12) = 40

2. Add 12 from both sides of the equation

x = 52

The value of x is 52.

What is the vertex of the graph of the function below? y = x2 - 8x + 12 A. (-2, 0) B. (-4, -4) C. (-4, 0) D. (-2, -4)
mario62 [17]
To find the vertex of the parabola, we need to write it in a vertex form.

y=x² - 8x +12 

1) complete the square

y=x² - 8x +12 
y = x² -2*4x + 4² - 4² +12
y=(x-4)²  -16 +12

2) calculate and write a vertex
y=(x-4)²  -16 +12
 y=(x-4)²  - 4

(x-4)           -----     x- coordinate of the vertex x=4
 y=(x-4)²  - 4    -------y- coordinate of the vertex  y = -   4 
  
Vertex is (4, -4).
Answer is (4, -4).  No correct answer is given in choices.
