A regulation basketball court has a length of 2w – 6 and a width of w, and has an area of 4,700 square feet. Create an equation in standard form that represents the area of the basketball court. Show your work.

Here is their argument. given the obtuse angle x, we make a quadrilateral abcd with ∠dab = x, and ∠abc = 90◦, and ad = bc. say the perpendicular bisector to dc meets the perpendicular bisector to ab at p. then pa = pb and pc = pd. so the triangles pad and pbc have equal sides and are congruent. thus ∠pad = ∠pbc. but pab is isosceles, hence ∠pab = ∠pba. subtracting, gives x = ∠pad−∠pab = ∠pbc −∠pba = 90◦. this is a preposterous conclusion – just where is the mistake in the "proof" and why does the argument break down there?

How many different triangles can be constructed with the angle measurements of 134° 10° and 36° ?

Gregory draws a scale drawing of his room. the scale that he uses is 1 cm : 4 ft. on his drawing, the room is 3 centimeters long. which equation can be used to find the actual length of gregory's room?
