A rectangular lawn is 24 feet wide by 32 feet long. A sidewalk will be built along the inside edges of all four sides. The remai
ning lawn will have seen area of 425 feet squared. How wide will the sidewalk be?
1 answer:
So the original lawn has an area
24 × 32 = 768 the new lawn will have area 425
this means the area of the sidewalk will be 768-425=343
now the sidewalk is a certain width of we draw it out and label it x we see the lawn has an area of
use the quadratic formula to solve. then you will know how wide the sidewalk is. I will attach picture

Part (a)
<h3>Answer: y1 and y3 are perpendicular</h3>This is because the two slopes 2 and -1/2 multiply to -1. Perpendicular slopes multiply to -1 assuming neither line is vertical or horizontal.
=====================================================
Part (b)
Graph each line to see where they cross. The three points of intersection are
(0,4)
(2,-2)
(4,2)
The order of the points doesn't matter.
You could also form three systems of equations pairing up the equations, and solving each system. That way you can find the points of intersection. Graphing may be a better and faster route in my opinion. See the diagram below.
