Answer:

l= 4 mi   : width of the park

w= 1 mi  : length of the park

Explanation:

Formula to find the area of ​​the rectangle:

A= w*l       Formula(1)

Where,

A is the area of the  rectangle in mi²

w is the  width of the rectangle in mi

l is the  width of the rectangle in mi

Known data

A =  4 mi²

l = (w+3)mi    Equation (1)

Problem development

We replace the data in the formula (1)

A= w*l  

4 = w* (w+3)

4= w²+3w

w²+3w-4= 0

We factor the equation:

We look for two numbers whose sum is 3 and whose multiplication is -4

(w-1)(w+4) = 0 Equation (2)

The values ​​of w for which the equation (2) is zero are:

w = 1 and w = -4

We take the positive value w = 1 because w is a dimension and cannot be negative.

w  = 1 mi  :width of the park

We replace w  = 1 mi  in the equation (1) to calculate the length of the park:

l=  (w+3) mi

l= ( 1+3) mi

l= 4 mi

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power consumed by toaster oven, P=1.4\ kW

Time taken, t = 6 minutes = 0.1 hour

Energy used by toaster, W_{toaster}=P\times t

W_{toaster}=1.4\ kW\times 0.1\ h=0.14\ kWh

Similarly,

Power consumed by toaster oven, P=11\ W

Time taken, t = 9 minutes = 0.15 hour

Energy used by toaster, W_{toaster}=P\times t

W_{toaster}=11\ W\times 0.15\ h=1.65\ Wh=0.0016\ kWh

Hence, this is the required solution.
