The length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than its width the area of the rectangle is 18 in.² what are the dimensions of the rectangle

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

w=6 in

l=3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

let w = width and length be 'w-3'

Two sides of w and two sides of (w-3) equal 18 sq in

18=2(w)+2(w-3)

18=2w+2w-6

4w=24

w=6

Answer 2

The width of rectangle is, 6 in.

And, Length of rectangle is 3 in.

What is mean by Rectangle?

A rectangle is a two dimension figure with 4 sides, 4 corners and 4 right angles. The opposite sides of the rectangle are equal and parallel to each other.

Given that;

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches less than its width

And, the area of the rectangle is 18 in.²

Now, We know that;

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Let the width of rectangle = x

Hence, Length of rectangle = x - 3

Thus, We get;

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

18 = x (x - 3)

18 = x² - 3x

x² - 3x - 18 = 0

x² - (6 - 3)x - 18 = 0

x² - 6x + 3x -18 = 0

x(x - 6) + 3 (x - 6) = 0

(x - 6) (x + 3) = 0

x = 6 , x = - 3

But dimensions are not negative.

Hence, We get;

x = 6

Thus, the width of rectangle = 6 in.

Hence, Length of rectangle = x - 3

                                           = 6 - 3 = 3 in.

m2ABC = 68°
mzBCD=108°

Answers

*see attachment for diagram

Answer:

✔️m<BAC = 72°

✔️m<BCD = 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<ABC = (4x - 16)°

m<ACB = (5x + 7)°

Find the numerical value of m<ABC, m<ACB, m<BAC, and m<BCD.

First we need to determine the value of x.

The ∆ given is an isosceles triangle with two equal sides, therefore, the angles opposite the two equal sides would also be equal.

Therefore:

(4x - 16)° + 2(5x + 7)° = 180° (sum of ∆)

Solve for x

4x - 16 + 10x + 14 = 180

Add like terms

14x - 2 = 180

Add 2 to both sides

14x = 182

Divide both sides by 14

x = 13

Find the measure of each angle by plugging in the value of x where necessary:

✔️m<ABC = (4x - 16)° = 4(13) - 16

m<ABC = 36°

✔️m<ACB = (5x + 7)° = 5(13) + 7

m<ACB = 72°

✔️m<BAC = m<ACB (both are base angles of the isosceles ∆, so they are equal)

Therefore,

m<BAC = 72°

✔️m<BCD = m<ABC + m<ACB (exterior angle theorem of a triangle)

m<BCD = 36 + 72 (Substitution)

m<BCD = 108°

Therefore, the angle measures that are correct are:

✔️m<BAC = 72°

✔️m<BCD = 108°

(-4, -7) and (-6, 9) in slope-intercept form. Show work

Answers

Answer:

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is: y = -8x-39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(-4, -7) and (-6, 9)

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation

[tex]y = mx+b[/tex]

Here m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

m is found using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here

(x1,y1) = (-4-7)

(x2,y2) = (-6,9)

Putting the values in the formula

[tex]m = \frac{9+7}{-6+4} = \frac{16}{-2} = -8[/tex]

Putting slope in general equation

[tex]y = -8x+b[/tex]

Putting (-6,9) in the equation

[tex]9 = -8(-6)+b\\9 = 48+b\\b = 9-48\\b = -39[/tex]

Putting the value of b we get

[tex]y = -8x-39[/tex]

Hence,

Equation of line in slope-intercept form is: y = -8x-39

Step-by-step explanation:

If the slope m was equal to 0, then it would be a horizontal line rather than a vertical line.

Usually a vertical line has an undefined slope, as x equals a certain number, and m = unknown.

The angles of a triangle are in an extended ratio of 5:7:3. What is the measure of the
largest angle?

Answers

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the measures of the triangle be 5x, 7x, 3x.

By interior angle sum postulate of a triangle.

5x + 7x + 3x = 180°

15x = 180°

x = 180°/15

x = 12°

7x = 7*12°= 84°

Measure of the largest angle = 84°
