Let the width be w, then length = 2w - 1

Area = length times width = w(2w - 1) = 21.

Thus, 2w^2 - w = 21 or 2w^2 - w - 21 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation gives that w = 3.5.

Therefore, width is 3.5 ft and length is 2(3.5) - 1 = 6 ft.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!! WILL MARK CORRECT ANSWER BRAINLIEST!!!!
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture we see:

The radius is 5 units. Each unit is .25 so the radius is 1.25.

The centre or middle M= ( -1, 1 )

Circle with centre M and radius r :

(x - xM)² + (y - yM)² = r²

xM = -1

yM = 1

r = 1.25

(x - (-1))² + (y - 1)² = (1.25)²

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 1.5625
