Area = length *width
A = x²
3x² = (x+10)(x+12)
3x² = x²+10x+12x+120
3x² = x²+22x+120
3x²-3x² = x²+22x+120-3x²
0 = -2x²+22x+120
Factor to solve for x: 
-2(x²-11x-60)
(x+4)(x-15)
x = -4  & x = 15 but we can't have a negative length so we eliminate 4. The length of the square is 15 cm.

$abcd$ is a square. how many squares have two or more vertices in the set $\{a, b, c, d\}$?
marshall27 [118]
There are 4 squares having a side corresponding to a side of square abcd.

There are 4 squares having a side corresponding to the diagonals of square abcd.

And then the original square

Therefore, there are 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 squares <span>having two or more vertices in the set {a, b, c, d}.</span>

Regular hexagon ABCDEF has a perimeter of 36. O is the center of the hexagon and of circle O. Circles A, B, C, D, E, and F have
morpeh [17]

Answer:

E. (54\sqrt{3}-27\pi\)

Step-by-step explanation:

I draw the figure described by the statement down there so you can see easily how to solve it.

Notice 3 things:

- The length of one side of the hexagon is simply 36 divided by 6. = 6 This is beacause, by nature, every single side of the hexagon has the same length.

- The radius of each circle is half the length of one side of the hexagon. This would mean that the radius of each circle is 3.

- The outer circles have 120°/360° of its area enclose. We get this value because by definition, the hexagon can be divided into 6 regular triangles, each one with every angle equal to 60°. The size of the internal angles of the hexagon will be twice this value.

So, in summary, The area enclosed by the circles is expressed like this:

Acircles = 6 * \frac{120}{360} * π * (r)² + π*r² = 3 * π * r² = 27 π

Now all we need is the area of the regular hexagon, which is simply:

Ahexagon = \frac{1}{2}* p * a

Where p is the perimeter, given by the problem, and a is its apothem, the distance between the center of the hexagon and the middle of one of its sides, that is found by multiplying the length of a side of the hexagon times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Ahexagon = \frac{1}{2} * 36 * 6 * \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 54\sqrt{3}.

Then, the area of the shaded area is equal to:

Ashaded = Ahexagon - Acircles = 54\sqrt{3} - 27π

Solve the right triangle, ΔABC, for the missing sides and angle to the nearest tenth given angle B = 39° and side c = 13.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

Part 1) b=8.2\ units

Part 2) a=10.1\ units

Part 3) A=51\° and C=90\°

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the side b

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

The function sine of angle B is equal to divide the opposite side angle B (AC) by the hypotenuse (AB)

sin(B)=AC/AB

we have

AB=c=13\ units

AC=b

B=39\°

substitute

sin(39\°)=b/13

solve for b

b=(13)sin(39\°)

b=8.2\ units

step 2

Find the side a

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

The function cosine of angle B is equal to divide the adjacent side angle B (BC) by the hypotenuse (AB)

cos(B)=BC/AB

we have

AB=c=13\ units

BC=a

B=39\°

substitute

cos(39\°)=a/13

solve for a

a=(13)cos(39\°)

a=10.1\ units

step 3

Find the measure of angle A

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

C=90\° ----> is a right angle

B=39\°

∠A+∠B=90° ------> by complementary angles

substitute the given value

A+39\°=90\°

A=90\°-39\°

A=51\°

billy is creating a circular garden divided into 8 equal sections. The diameter of the garden is 12 feet. what is the area, in s
xxTIMURxx [149]
Area=πr^2

 find the area then divide by 8


we know that diameter=2radius or diameter/2=radius so 
12=diameter
12/2=radius=6
subsitute
area=π(6)^2
area=36π
divide 36π by 8
36π/8=18π/4=9π/2π=4.5π
area of one section is 4.5π square feet or if we aprox pito 3.14159 then we get
4.5(3.14159)=area=14.1372 square feet or 14.14 square feet
