Area of rectangle = length × width
300 = (x+10) × x
300 = 10x + x^2
Now we have the equation y=x^2 + 10x - 300
We can factor this equation to get our zeroes, which are:
-5(1+sqrt(13)),
5(sqrt(13)-1)

We only use the positive zero because we can't have a negative dimension.

Your width would be:
5(sqrt(13)-1)

Your length would be:
5(sqrt(13)-1) + 10

If you know that 4 of an item costs a certain amount, and you want to find out how much one costs, which operation will you use?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The answer would be division (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x equals the total amount

x equals the cost of one item

Therefore you'd divide total cost by 4 and that would find the cost of one item

A piece of fabric is 2 yards long Marcus puts one patch at each end of the fabric and at each quarter foot mark how many patches
klio [65]
Conversion.
1 yard = 3 feet

So the fabric has 2 yards. Then the size of the patch is 1/4 foot. 
So the number of patches that Marcus used is..
= 3 * 2
= 6 / (1/4)
= 24 patches.

So a total of 24 patches Marcus used.

If you know the area of a rectangle can you predict its perimeter? Explain
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

No.  The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.

If you know the area, you only know the <em><u>product</u></em> of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.

In fact, you can draw an infinite number of <em><u>different</u></em> rectangles
that all have the <em>same</em> area but <em><u>different</u></em> perimeters.

Here.  Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256.  What is its perimeter ?

-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02
