Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a rectangle is

length × width = 300 ft²

length = width + 5

(width + 5) × width = 300

width² + 5×width = 300

width² + 5×width - 300 = 0

the general solution to such a quadratic equation is

width = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 5

c = -300

width = (-5 ± sqrt(5² - 4×1×-300))/(2×1) =

= (-5 ± sqrt(25 + 1200))/2 =

= (-5 ± sqrt(1225))/2 = (-5 ± 35)/2

width1 = (-5 + 35)/2 = 30/2 = 15 ft

width2 = (-5 - 35)/2 = -40/2 = -20 ft

negative lengths for an actual object don't make sense, so width = 15 ft is our solution.

length = width + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 ft

Answer:

width=x

length=5x

area= 300ft2

area=lxb

300=5x(x)

300=5x^2

x^2=60

x=7.74

7.74(5)=38.7

dimensions are 38.7ft by 7.74 ft

The answer is D. <span>$780.25 
</span>
In this particular case, you just need to find the difference between what Casey earn hourly with his total earning..

The hourly wage that Casey earned in 26 hours:
$ 4.55 x 26 = 118.3

The total amount that casey earned in 26 hours:
$898.55

So, the amount that Casey earned through tips:
$898.55 - $118.3 = $780.25

the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 17 inches, and the area is 18 square inches. what are the length and width of the
dimaraw [331]

The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.

<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=b*h

18=(W+17)*W

18=W²+17W

W²+17W-18=0

Solving this quadratic equation, you have:

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}

w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}

w1=1 and w2= -18

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in
