Directions: Solve each of the following problems. Show your solution. (5 points each) 1. Bailey’s rectangular dog pen for his Irish setter must have an area of 400 square feet.
Also ,the length must be 10 feet longer than the width. Find the dimension of the pen.

400=(×+20)× is the equation or

400=×^2+20×

(×+10)= square root of 500

×+10=10 radical 5

final answer -10 + or - 10 radical 5=×

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
