Answer:

Answer:

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = length * width

Let L = length; let W = width.

"The length is 6 units greater than the width.": L = W + 6

area = LW = 40

Since L = W + 6, we substitute L with W + 6.

(W + 6)W = 40

W^2 + 6W = 40

W^2 + 6W - 40 = 0

(W - 4)(W + 10) = 0

W - 4 = 0 or W + 10 = 0

W = 4 or W = -10

A width cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution W = -10.

W = 4

L = W + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Andrei has a job in the circus walking on stilts. Andrei is 11/10 meters tall. The foot supports of his stilts are 23/10 meters
vovangra [49]
First, add. 11/10 + 23/10 = 34/10
You can then simplify by finding the greatest common factor (2)
34/2, 10/2 = 17/5, or 3 and 2/5 
Andrei is 3 and 2/5 meters tall
