Let the width be w.

Therefore we know that the length 2w - 5.

We know that area is A = w*l.

Therefore:

273 = w * (2w-5)

Now we can solve for the width.

273 = 2w^2 - 5w

2W^2 - 5w - 273 = 0
We can use the quadratic formula from here where a = 2, b = -5 and c = 273.
w =  \frac{-b \pm  \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}

w = \frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{-5^2 -4(2)(-273} }{2(2)}
Solving this gives us the possible answers of 13 and - \frac{21}{2}. Since our width can't be negative, we know the answer is 13.
Next, we can plug 13 into the formula for area to find the length.
273 = 13*l
21 = l
We now know the width and length. Finally, the last thing to do is calculate the perimeter using the formula 2w + l2 = P

2(13) + 2(21) = P
26 + 42 = P
68 = P
So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 68 yards.

german

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Red flowers = 1/8

Purple = 1/4

(1/8 + 1/4) = (1 + 2) / 8 = 3/8

Fraction left :

1 - 3/8 =. 5/8

Pink flowers :

1/4 of fraction left ;

1/4 * 5/8 = 5/32

Number of pink flowers

Total number of flowers = 128

5/32 * 128

640 / 32

= 20

20 pink flowers
