Since rectangles have two pairs of equal-length sides, for any rectangle with length L and width W, its perimeter is always 2L + 2W (or 2(L + w), whichever you prefer). Here, we're told that the width is 4 feet less than the length. Symbolically, we'd say that W = L - 4. This allows us to write the perimeter entirely in terms of length if we replace our W with the expression on the right side:

2L + 2W = 2l + 2(L - 4) = 2L +2L - 8 = 4L - 8

Sam wants this expression to come out to 52, so we can set up the equality 4L - 8 = 52 and solve for L to find what the length has to be:

Adding 8 to either side, the equality becomes 4L = 60. Diving either side by 4 gives us L = 15, which tells us that the length of the deck should be 15 feet.

Which is greater? The square root of 121 or the cube root of 125. Explain your answer.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The square root of 121.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 121 is 11. 11x11=121 which makes the square root of 121, 11. The cube root of 125 is 5. Cube roots are numbers that are multiplied by each other to make a number, 125 is 5x5x5 so the cube root is 5. 11 is a greater number than 5 which makes the square root of 121 greater.
