Answer:

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width

so,

length =w+2

L=w+2

now, we can find area

A=L\times W

now, we can plug it

A=(w+2)\times w

A=w^2+2w

we are given area =6

so, we can set it equal

and then we can solve for w

w^2+2w=6

w^2+2w-6=0

we can use quadratic formula

ax^2+bx+c=0

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

now, we can compare and find a,b and c

a=1 , b=2 , c=-6

w=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-6\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w=-1+\sqrt{7},\:w=-1-\sqrt{7}

we know that dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

Exact dimensions:

width=-1+\sqrt{7}

length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2

length=1+\sqrt{7}

Approximate dimensions:

width=1.64575ft

length=1.64575+2

length=3.64575ft

Find the stated lengths in each parallelogram
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

40/3, 172/3, respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 9 = 2y

2x = 2y + 2

x + 9 = 2(2x - 2)

4x - 4 = x + 9

3x - 13 = 0

x = 13/3

y = 40/6

RT = 13/3 + 9 = 40/3

QS = 160/3 + 4 = 172/3

An appliance company uses the function f(h) = 40h + 120 to calculate the total repair bill, f(h), for h number of hours worked.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

fh. = 40h + 120,  fh. = $200

200 = 40h + 120

200 - 120 = 40h

80 = 40h

80/40  = h

 2 = h

h = 2 hours.
