Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A knitter wants to make a rug for a dollhouse. The length of the rug will be 2 inches more than it's width. Let the width of the rug be represented by w. This means that the length of the rug will be w + 2

The total area of the rug (in square inches ) based on the width W of the rug (in inches ) is given by

A(w) = w (2+w)

If the desired area of the rug is 15 square inches,,the width will be determined by substituting 15 for A(w). It becomes

15 = w^2 + 2w

w^2 + 2w - 15 = 0

w^2 + 5w - 3w - 15 = 0

w(w+5) -3(w+5)

w - 3 = 0 or w+ 5 = 0

w = 3 or w = -5

w cannot be negative. So w = 3 inches

Calcula el volumen en metros cúbicos de una piscina que tiene 8 m de largo 2 m de ancho y 1.5 m de profundidad
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

V = 24 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question says that, 'Calculate the volume in cubic meters of a pool that is 8 m long, 2 m wide and 1.5 m deep'.

A pool is in the shape of a cubiod. The volume of the cuboid is given by :

V = lbh

Where

l is length, b is width and h is height

Put all the values,

V = 8 × 2 × 1.5

= 24 m³

So, the volume of the pool is equal to 24 m³.

Joe is hiking a trail that is 30 miles long. after several days, he is two times as far from the beginning of the trail as he is
lora16 [44]
In order to answer this question let's suppose,
Joe is x miles from the beginning and y miles from the end. These assumptions are necessary to answer further:

Now,
x=2y
x+y=30
plugging in x=2y in the above equation
2y+y=30
3y=30
y=10

Hence, according to our calculations, Joe has to hike 10 miles further
