A) x + y = 17
B) x * y = -308
B) y = -308 / x Substituting this into A)
A) x -308 / x = 17
A) x^2 -308 = 17x
A) x^2 -17x -308 = 0
x = 28
y = -11
Answer:
13 in
Step-by-step explanation:
let w be width then length is w + 6
the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as
A = length × width , then
A = w(w + 6) = 91 , that is
w² + 6w = 91 ( subtract 91 from both sides )
w² + 6w - 91 = 0 ← in standard quadratic form
(w + 13)(w - 7) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
w + 13 = 0 ⇒ w = - 13
w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 7
however, w > 0 then w = 7
and length = w + 6 = 7 + 6 = 13 in
The fact that this triangle is a right angle triangle makes you now have 2 angles and the 1 side given, so it should be solvable.
First, You know that A=46 and C=90 as it is the right angle, and you know that the sum of any triangle's angles is 180. so now B=180-(90-46)=44
Now to the sides,
sin(B)=opp./hyp.=b/c=8/c=sin(44)
so, c=8/sin(44) which is approximately 11.52 unit length
now, use Pythagoras to find a,
a=√c²-b² =√11.52²-8² which is approximately 8.3 unit length.
Hope this helps.
