Answer:
20 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of a rectangular deck is five times it's width if the decks perimeter is 24 feet what is the decks area
Step 1
We find the Length and Width of the deck
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
The length of a rectangular deck is five times it's width
W = Width
L = Length = 5W
P = 24 feet
Perimeter = 2(5W) + 2W
24 = 10W + 2W
24 = 12 W
W = 24/12
W = 2 feet
Solving for L
L = 5W
L = 5 × 2 feet
L = 10 feet
Step 2
We find the area of the deck
Area of the deck(Rectangle) = Length × Width
= 10 feet × 2 feet
= 20 square feet
<h3>
Answer: 15 years old</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)
4m = four times her age
4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age
Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.
m+(4m-7) = 68
5m-7 = 68
5m = 68+7
5m = 75
m = 75/5
m = 15
Maggie is currently 15 years old.
Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.
Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.
I believe the circumference is 52.15.
