Answer:

$p = \frac{16}{9} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(3p - 2) = 20 \\ 18p - 12 = 20 \\ 18p = 32 \\ \frac{18p}{18} = \frac{32}{18} \\ p = \frac{16}{9}$

Answer:

$p=\frac{16}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6(3p-2)=20$

Distribute the brackets.

$6(3p)+6(-2)=20$

$18p-12=20$

Add $12$ on both sides.

$18p-12+12=20+12$

$18p=20+12$

$18p=32$

Divide $18$ on both sides.

$\frac{18p}{18}=\frac{32}{18}$

$p=\frac{16}{9}$

Answer:

A square

36 square yard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information:

W(3,3), X(-3,3), Y(-3,-3), and Z(3,-3)

So we need to graph those vertices and connect them in order.

(please have a look at the attached photo)

From the graph, it clear that the shape of the garden is a square.

Then, we need to calculate the length of the four sides

<u>Find the length of the side YZ. </u>

The length of side YZ = 3 + 3 = 6 yards because point Y and Z are on the same line y = -3 so we just need to find the distance between their x coordinate

<u>Find the length of the side WZ.</u>

The length of side WZ = 3 + 3 = 6 yards because point W and Z are on the same line x = 3 so we just need to find the distance between their y coordinate

=> the area of the square WXYZ:

= YZ*WZ

= 6*6

= 36 square yard.
