Add up all sides lengths:
s+6 + s+6 + s + s + 2s = 102
solve for s:
6s + 12 = 102
6s = 90
s= 15
The lengths of sides are as follows:
15, 21, 21, 15, 30 inches
I hope that
helps!

Answer:
1.5 kg of pepper cheddar cheese and 4.5 kg of Pennsylvania jack was used in the mixture.
Step-by-step explanation:
Pepper Cheddar cheese = $15 per kilogram
Pennsylvania jack = $11 per kilogram
The cheese sampler includes a Pepper Cheddar cheese and a Pennsylvania jack that cost $15 per kilogram and $11 per kilogram respectively.
The mixture = 6 kg
Let
a = kg of the pepper cheddar cheese
b = kg of the Pennsylvania jack
a + b = 6............(i)
Rate
15a + 11b/6 = 12
15a + 11b = 72.............(ii)
Combine the equation
a + b = 6............(i)
15a + 11b = 72.............(ii)
a = 6 - b
15(6 - b) + 11b = 72
90 - 15b + 11b = 72
90 - 72 = 15b - 11b
18 = 4b
divide both sides by 4
b = 18/4
b = 4.5 kg
insert the value of b in equation (i)
a + b = 6............(i)
a = 6 - 4.5
a = 1.5 kg
1.5 kg of pepper cheddar cheese and 4.5 kg of Pennsylvania jack was used in the mixture.
Given parameters:
Equation:
(x-4)²=9
Problem, solve the equation by factoring and extracting the root
<u>Solution:</u>
Given equation:
(x-4)²=9
subtract 9 from both sides to equate to zero;
(x-4)² - 9 = 0
(x -4)² - 3² = 0
Now, this is similar to the concept of difference of two squares;
x² - y² = <em>(x + y)(x-y)</em>
Here x = x-4 and y = -3
So input and solve;
(x - 4 -3)(x - 4 -(-3)) = 0
(x - 7)(x - 4+3) = 0
(x -7)(x -1) = 0
S0,
x - 7 = 0 or x-1 = 0
x = 7 or 1
If we extract the square roots;
(x-4)² = 9
√(x-4)² = √9
x - 4 = 3
x = 4 + 3 = 7; this is not the only solution to the problem
So we cannot solve it by extracting the square root.
