This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.
Formula
Area = L * W
Givens
W = W
L = W + 12
Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0
This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.
a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120
w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done
L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995
check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error
Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet
Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
4 pound of oats twice a day= 8 pounds of oats each day per horse. He has 4 horses so 4 horses times 8 pounds of oats is 32. You multiply 32 pounds times the three days he has to feed which is 96 pounds.
The summary of the ruler placement postulate is given as:
- there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of points on the line and the set of real numbers, and.
- the distance between two points equals the absolute value of the difference between the corresponding numbers.
<h3>What is the ruler placement postulate?</h3>
This states that the points of a line can be matched and correspond to a set of points on the line and the set of real numbers,
Therefore, based on the fact that your question is incomplete, a general overview of the ruler placement postulate is given to give you a better understanding of the concept.

Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
Then
(1 * x) + (4 * x) = 50
x + 4x = 50
5x = 50
x = 50/5
= 10
So from the above deduction, we get the common ratio to be equal to 10
Then
The smallest number = 1 * x
= 1 * 10
= 10
Answer:
7, 9, 11
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+2+x+4=5(x+2)-18
3x+6=5x+10-18
3x+6=5x+-8
3x=5x+-14
-2x=-14
x=7
