The rectangle below has an area of 70y⁸ 30y⁶. The width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of 70y⁸ and 30y⁶. What is the length and width of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Width of the Rectangle =[tex]10y^6[/tex]

[tex]\text{Length of the Rectangle}=210y^8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle [tex]=70y^8 30y^6.[/tex]

We are told that the width of the rectangle is equal to the greatest common monomial factor of [tex]70y^8 \: and\: 30y^6.[/tex]

Let us determine the greatest common monomial factor of [tex]70y^8 \: and\: 30y^6.[/tex]

Express each term as a product to pick out the common factors:

[tex]70y^8 =7X10Xy^6Xy^2\\30y^6=3X10Xy^6[/tex]

In the two terms, the common terms are 10 and [tex]y^6[/tex]. Therefore their greatest monomial factor =[tex]10y^6[/tex]

The Width of the Rectangle =[tex]10y^6[/tex]

Recall: Area of a Rectangle =Length X Width

[tex]70y^8 30y^6=Length X 10y^6\\Length =70y^8 30y^6 \div 10y^6 \\=\dfrac{70X30Xy^8Xy^6}{10y^6} =210y^8\\\text{Length of the Rectangle}=210y^8[/tex]
