L = W + 3

L^2 + W^2 = 12^2

Substituting for L:-

(W + 3)^2 + W^2 = 144

2W^2 + 6W + 9 - 144 = 0

2W^2 + 6W - 135 = 0

W  = [-6 +/1 sqrt (6^2 - 4*2*-135) ]/ 2*2

W = 6.85

so L = 9.85

Answer to nearest tenth = length 9.9 ft, width 6.9 ft.

A rectangle has a height of w^2+3w+9w 2 +3w+9w, squared, plus, 3, w, plus, 9 and a width of w^2+2w 2 +2w, squared, plus, 2. Expr
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Given

Length  = w²+3w+9

width = w²+2w+2

Area of the rectangle = (w²+3w+9)(w²+2w+2)

Area of the rectangle = w²(w²) + 2w(w²) + 2w² + 3w(w²) + 3w(2w) + 2(3w)+9w²+9(2w)+9(2)

Area of the rectangle = w^4+2w^3+2w²+3w^3+6w^2+6w+9w²+18w+18

Collect the like terms;

Area of the rectangle = w^4+2w^3+3w^3+2w²+6w²+9w²+6w+18w+18

Area of the rectangle = w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

Hence the area of the entire triangle is w⁴+5w³+17w²+24w +18

A mile-runner’s times for the mile are normally distributed with a mean of 4 min. 3 sec. (This would have to be expressed in dec
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 0.0668

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean : \mu=\text{4 min. 3 sec.=4.05 minutes}

Standard deviation : \sigma = \text{2 seconds=0.033333 minutes }

The formula to calculate z-score is given by :_

z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

For x= 4 minutes  , we have

z=\dfrac{4-4.05}{0.03333}\approx-1.5

The P-value = P(z\leq-1.5)=0.0668072\approx0.0668

Hence, the probability that on a given run, the time will be 4 minutes or less = 0.0668

olga55 [171]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.
 For this case the area is given by:
 A = (22 + x) * (28 + x) = 722
 Rewriting we have:
 616 + 22x + 28x + x ^ 2 = 722
 x ^ 2 + 50x + 616 - 722 = 0
 x ^ 2 + 50x - 106 = 0
 Solving the polynomial we have:
 x1 = 2.04
 x2 = -52.04
 We take the positive root:
 x = 2.04 inches:
 Answer:
 
The width of the border to the nearest inch is:
 
x = 2inches
