Answer:

The length is 23\ m and the breadth is 9\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of a rectangular campsite

y ----> the breadth of a rectangular campsite

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

P=2(x+y)

P=64\ m

so

64=2(x+y)

32=(x+y)

y=32-x ------> equation A

The area of a rectangle is equal to

A=xy

A=207\ m^{2}

so

207=xy -----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

207=x(32-x)\\\\207=32x-x^{2}\\\\x^{2}-32x+207=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=23\ m ( I assume that the length is  greater than the breadth)

see the attached figure

Find the value of y

y=32-23=9\ m

therefore

The length is 23\ m and the breadth is 9\ m

NemiM [27]
Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then, 

\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies  \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ∠MHL=(3x+20), ∠KHN=(x+25), and ∠JHN=(x+20).

We need to find the measure of ∠JHN.

\angle MHL=\angle JHK                         (Vertical opposite angles)

\angle MHL=\angle JHN+\angle KHN

Substitute the given values.

3x+20=(x+20)+(x+25)

3x+20=2x+45

3x-2x=45-20

x=25

The value of x is 25. So, the measure of ∠JHN is

\angle JHN=x+20=25+20=45

The measure of ∠JHN is 45°.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
