Because l•w= area, area= 320, l=w+4
width • (width +4)= 320

Distribute the multiplication over addition and move all to the left side.
w^2 +4w-320=0
(w-16)•(w+20)=0 yet, The product of two things is 0 if one is 0 or both are 0 so
w-16=0 so w=16 and
w+20=0 so w= -20

Now the width or length could not be negative so we discard the solution w=-20.

Answer
width= 16 inches
length =16+4=20

Verify
w•l=320
16•20=320✔️

What type of association would you expect between a persons age and hair length
hjlf

Answer:

The length of their hair reduces. This is because the length of hair is dependent on the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair follicles. When one is young, the cells of the papilla divide more rapidly and hence cause the length of the hair to be long before reaching transitional phase (catagen phase) and then shed off in the telogen phase. The older one gets, the papilla cells do not divide as rapidly and the length of the hair shortens with age.

If you draw a tree to show the number of ways to spin a spinner with three regions twice, how many possibilitdies would there be
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: There would be 9 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of regions in the spinner = 3

if we spin the spinner twice, then by using fundamental principal of counting , the number of possibilities is given by :-

3\times3=9

Therefore, there would be 9 possibilities.

  • The Fundamental Counting Principle is a method to calculate the number of possibilities by multiplying the events together to get the total number of possibilities.

This question is really confusing me, it talks about unknown angle problems with Algebra.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

The two given and marked angles add up to 90.

A = x

B = 3x + 10

A + B = 90          Substitute for A and B. A and B are just letters I gave things.

x + 3x + 10 = 90        Combine the left

4x + 10 = 90              Subtract 10 from both sides.

4x +10-10 = 90-10     Combine

4x = 80                      Divide by 4

4x/4=80/4

x = 20
