The area of a playground is 204 yd^2 The width of the playground is 5 yd longer than its length. Find the length and width of the playground.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the shape of the playground is rectangular, we know that the area of a rectangle is length x width.

Let the length = x

width = x + 5

x(x + 5) = 204

x² + 5x = 204

x² + 5x - 204 = 0

(x + 17)(x - 12) = 0

x = -17 and x = 12

However, since x represents the length of the playground, length cannot be negative. The only value possible is x = 12.

Therefore, the playground has a length of 12 yd and a width of 12 + 5 = 17 yd.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

length = 17 yd, width = 12 yd

Photo above! How do I find the area of this? It says the answer is 1027ft but whenever I do it I don't get that

Answers

Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

area of rectangle = l * w

area of triangle= 1/2 (  b * h )



rectangle-  26 * 31 = 806

triangle- 1/2 ( 26 * 17 ) [ <-- 48 - 31 ] = 221

221 + 806 = 1027 ft squared


2 ways

cut into rectangle and triangle
2 recognize teh trapezoid


cut into rectangle and triangle
area of rectnagle=height times base

are oftrianngle=height times base times 1/2

rectangle=26 times 31=806

triangle

we have to know the base legnth
since the top is 31
and bottom is 48
the extra bit is 48-31=17
base=17
height=26
area=1/2 times 26 times 17=221

add
rectangle+traingle=806+221=1027 square units

other way
area of trapezoid=1/2(b1+b2) times height
b1=31
b2=48
height=26
A=1/2(31+48) times 26
A=1027 squaer units

If there are 144 fruits in a box. And 1/8 are red apples and 1/4 are green apples and the rest are oranges. Than how many oranges are there all together? And what fraction of the fruit is oranges?

Answers

1/8 of 144= 18 (red apples). 1/4 of 144= 36 (green apples). Oranges = 36+18= 54, equal to 144-54= 90. Therefore, there are 90 oranges, and this is equal to 90/144, or 45/ 72 or 15/24 or 5/8. Hope this helps :)

Question 20. SQ is an angle bisector. Find the value of x. Please help!! Struggling

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

∠TSQ = (5x + 3)°

∠RSQ = (10x - 27)°

SQ is the angle bisector of ∠ TSR

To Find:

x = ?

Solution:

Angle Bisector:

A line that splits an angle into two equal angles.

'Bisect' means to divide into two equal parts.

SQ is the angle bisector of ∠ TSR ....Given

\angle TSQ=\angle RSQ

Substituting the values we get

(5x+3)=(10x-27)\n\n10x-5x=27+3\n\n5x=30\n\n\therefore x=(30)/(5)=6\n\therefore x=6

The value of x is 6.

Find the value of x in the triangle, 60°, 60°, 5x​

Answers

The value of x in the expression for the angle of the triangle is 12.

What is the value of x in the triangle?

The figure in the image is a triangle.

From the image:

Angle 1 = 5x

Angle 2 = 60 degrees

Angle 3 = 60 degrees

Note that, the sum of the interior angle of a triangle equals 180 degrees.

To determine the value of x, add the 3 angles and equate to 180 degrees.

Hence:

5x + 60 + 60 = 180

Collect and add like terms:

5x + 120 = 180

Subtract 120 from both sides:
5x + 120 - 120 = 180 - 120

5x = 180 - 120

5x = 60

x = 60/5

x = 12

Therefore, x has a value of 12.

Triangles have well 3 angles, and they all add up to 180. So 180-60-60= 60. This means that 5x=60. So you divide by 5 on each side and get x=12.
