We have the following dimensions:
w=wide
w+70=length

We have a right triangle:
leg₁=w
leg₂=w+70
hypotenuse=130

Pythagoras theorem:
leg₁²+leg₂²=hypotenuse²
Then:

w²+(w+70)²=130²

We have to solve that equation:
w²+(w+70)²=130²
w²+w²+140w+4900=16900
2w²+140w+4900-16900=0
2w²+140w-12000=0
(2w²+140w-12000)/2=0/2
w²+70w-6000=0

w=(-70⁺₋√(4900+24000)) / 2
=(-70⁺₋170) / 2
We have two possible solutions:
Solution 1

w=(-70-170)/2=-120   (this solution is not possible because the result is negative and it have no sense in this problem).

Solution 2

w=(-70+170)/2=50  (this is the right solution)

w=50
w+70=120

ANSWER:  the length would be 120 u  (u=units of length ) and the wide would be 50 u.

On each coordinate plane, the parent function f(x) = |x| is represented by a dashed line and a translation is represented by a s
Kitty [74]

Answer:

On each coordinate plane, the parent function f(x) = |x| is represented by a dashed line and a translation is represented by a solid line. Which graph represents the translation g(x) = |x + 2| as a solid line?

On a coordinate plane, a dashed line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 0). A solid line absolute value graph has a vertex at (2, 0).

On a coordinate plane, a dashed line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 0). A solid line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, negative 2).

On a coordinate plane, a dashed line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 0). A solid line absolute value graph has a vertex at (negative 2, 0).

On a coordinate plane, a dashed line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 0). A solid line absolute value graph has a vertex at (0, 2).

Noel Devine bought a new dishwasher for $320. He paid 20 down and made 10 monthly payments of $34 what actual yearly interest ra
Nookie1986 [14]
IN finding the interest we need to use the following formula:
 Interest= Principal x Rate x Time  or I= PRT
Substitute values: I= [$20 + ($10 x $34)] -320 =$40
P= $320
R=?
T=10 months/year
I=PRT
Since R is a missing term, we will solve for R using this formula: R=I/PT
R=  [<span>$20 + ($10 x $34)-320] / ($320 x 10 months)
                                          T=10 months</span>÷12 months=0.83<span>
R= ($40)/ $320 X 0.83
R= 40/ 265.6
R=15.06024096</span>
