You can use factors to solve.  Determine all the factor pairs of 24, find the two that are two numbers apart.
1, 24 X
2, 12 X
3, 8 X
4, 6 YES!


Algebraic way to solve using Quadratics:
l = 2 + w

A = lw

A = (2 + w)w  Substitute (2 + w) for l

24 = (2 + w)w  Substitute 24 in for the area

24 = 2w + w^2  Distribute

w^2 + 2w - 24 = 0  Set equal to 0 (put in standard form)

(w + 6) (w - 4) = 0  Factor

w + 6 = 0  and w - 4 = 0    Set each factor equal to 0.

So w= -6 or w = 4 ... -6 makes no sense for a length!  So the width must be 4 and the length will be 4 + 2, which is 6.

Mrs. Frasier is making costumes for the school play. Each costume requires 0.75 yard of fabric. She bought 6 yards of fabric. Ho
Marta_Voda [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

0.75 yard = 1 costume

1 yard = 1/0.75 =4/3 costume

6 yards = 4/3 × 6 = 8 costumes

if you wanna check,

8 costumes = 6 yards

1 costume = 6/ 8

= 3/4 (0.75) yard

a water sprinkler sends water out in in a circle .how large is the watered area if the the watering Patten is 23 ft
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I'm guessing you're saying that the sprinkler is shooting out 23 ft of water.

This would be the same as the radius of a circle, and we're trying to find the area. Use the formula.

\sf A=\pi r^2

Plug in what we know:

\sf A=\pi (23^2)

\sf A=529\pi ft^2

This is what they could be looking for, an exact value. If they want an approximation, we can input 3.14 for Pi:

\sf A\approx 529(3.14)

\boxed{\sf A\approx 1661.06~ft^2}

Problem 8

Answer: angle LSO and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Vertical angles form when we intersect two line segments, lines, or rays. Vertical angles are opposite one another and they are always congruent.

=============================================

Problem 9

Answer: angle LMS and angle SMN

--------------

Explanation:

Adjacent angles share a common line, line segment, or ray. Think of two adjacent rooms sharing a common wall between them. In the case of the answer above, the two angles share the common segment SM (note how S and M are part of LMS and SMN)

When it comes to naming angles, the middle letter is always the vertex of the angle. This is the hinge so to speak. Or you could picture a pair of scissors. For angle LMS, the arms LM and SM are the two blades of the scissors while point M is where the blades meet.

=============================================

Problem 10

Answer: angle LSM and angle MSN

--------------

Explanation:

Same idea as problem 9. Now we're making S the middle letter. Something like angle LSM is the same as angle MSL.

In this case, the two adjacent angles form a straight line. We consider these two angles a linear pair.

=============================================

Problem 11

Answer: angle LSO and angle OSN

--------------

Explanation:

The term linear pair was discussed back in problem 10. So you could list those two angles again, or you could go with another pair as shown above. All that matters is that they are adjacent angles and they are supplementary angles (they add to 180 degrees). There are many possible answers.

Something like the angle pair angle LOS and angle NOS are adjacent angles, but they aren't supplementary. So we don't meet the condition of a linear pair here.
