Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of side lengths of a rectangle is half the perimeter, so is 15 inches for this brochure. If x is one of the side lengths, then (15 -x) is the other one, and the area is ...

  x(15 -x) = 52

  x^2 -15x = -52 . . . . multiply by -1 and expand

  (x -7.5)^2 = -52 +56.25 = 4.25 . . .  complete the square

  x = 7.5 ±√4.25 ≈ {5.438, 9.562} . . . inches

The longer side is 7+√4.25 ≈ 9.562 inches; the shorter side is 7-√4.25 ≈ 5.438 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
