Type the correct answer in the box. Jason builds doghouses for a pet store. Each doghouse is a wooden structure with a rectangul

ar base that has an area of 21 square feet and a length that is 4 feet more than its width. If x represents the width of the doghouse, write an equation in the given form that can be used to determine the possible dimensions of the base of the doghouse. 

Answer:

Width = 3 feet

Length = 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the width of doghouse so,

Width = x

Length is 4 times more than its width

Length = x+4

Area of doghouse = 21 square feet

We know

Area of rectangle = Length * Width

21 = (x+4)*x

21 = x^2+4x

=> x^2+4x-21=0

Solving the above quadratic equation by factorization to find the value of x

x^2+7x-3x-21=0

x(x+7)-3(x+7)=0

(x+7)(x-3)=0

x+7 =0 and x-3=0

x= -7 and x =3

Since the width of rectangle can never be negative so, x=3

Width =x = 3 feet

Length = x+4 = 3+4 = 7 feet

Answer:  (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

               width (x) = 3

               length (x+4) = 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area (A) = length (l) × width (x)

       21   =  (x + 4)     ×    (x)

       21   =  x² + 4x                   <em>distributed (x) into (x + 4)</em>

        0   =  x² + 4x - 21             <em>subtracted 21 from both sides</em>

        0  = (x + 7)(x - 3)               <em>factored quadratic equation</em>

 0 = x + 7   or    0 = x - 3          <em>applied Zero Product Property</em>

 x = -7        or     x = 3               <em>solved each equation</em>

x = -7 is not valid <em>because lengths cannot be negative </em>

so x = 3

and length ... x + 4 = (3) + 4 = 7

On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The graph shows cleaning time in hours on the x-axis and total cost in
sveta [45]

Answer:

  C. (2, 6] hour jobs cost $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider each of these statements in view of the graph:

  1. A cleaning time of 2 hours will cost $100. -- The closed circle at (2, 50) tells you the cost of a 2-hour job is $50, not $100.
  2. A cleaning time of 6 hours will cost $150. -- The closed circle at (6, 100) tells you the cost of a 6-hour job is $100, not $150.
  3. Cost is a fixed rate of $100 for jobs requiring more than 2 hours, up to a maximum of 6 hours. -- The line between the open circle at (2, 100) and the closed circle at (6, 100) tells you this is TRUE.
  4. Cost is a fixed rate of $200 for jobs that require at least 6 hours. -- "At least 6 hours" means "greater than or equal to 6 hours." The closed circle at (6, 100) means a 6-hour job is $100, not $200.

The perimeter of triangle ABC is 82 inches. The triangle is rotated about a line that passes through points B and D.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

A cone with base radius of 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangle ABC

Where

AB = BC = 24in

D = Midpoint of AC

Required

Which best describes the resulting three-dimensional figure?

First, the length of the third side of the triangle has to be calculated

The sides of triangle ABC are AB, AC and BC

Given that the perimeter = 82 in

AB + AC + BC = 82

Recall that AB = BC = 24in; The equation becomes

24 + AC + 24 = 82

Collect like terms

AC = 82 - 24 - 24\\AC = 34

Given that, the triangle is rotated at D, the midpoint of AC

The length of the midpoint has to be calculated

D = \frac{1}{2}AC

D = \frac{1}{2} * 34

D = \frac{34}{2}

D = 17

At this point, we can dismiss options C and D.

This is because; a triangular pyramid is formed by more than 1 triangles (at least 3 triangle) and in this case, we're dealing with only 1 triangle.

So, we have option A and B to select from.

When the triangle is rotated at point D, it generates a cone such that the radius of the cone is the distance at point D.

This implies that, a cone with base radius D is generated.

Recall that D = 17.

Hence, <em>A cone with base radius of 17 in</em>
