Answer:

The dimensions should the rug​ have: length = 25 feet and width of 14 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of the room is 20 ft wide and 31 ft long

Area of rug purchased by Cynthia Besch = A=350 ft^2

Suppose she leave strip of floor which is x ft thick.

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft

Area of the rug,A = l × w

350 ft^2= (31-x) ft \times (20-x) ft

350=620-51x+x^2

x^2-51x+270=0

x^2-45x-6x+270=0

x(x-45)-6(x-45)=0

(x-45)(x-6)=0

x = 45 , 6

x = 6 (accept), x= 45 ,(reject, larger than length of the room )

Length of the rug= l = (31-x) ft = 31 - 6 ft = 25 ft

Width of the rug= w = (20-x) ft = 20 - 6 ft = 14 ft

A rectangle has a perimeter of (20x+12y). If one side of the rectangle is (3x-4y), write the expression for the other side
Nady [450]

Answer:

(7x + 10y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this add (3x - 4y) to itself to calculate to lengths of the shorter sides.

(3x - 4y) + (3x - 4y) = 6x - 8y

Subtract this from (20x + 12y)

(20x + 12y) - (6x - 8y) = 14x + 20y     Divide this by two to get the length of one side

14x + 20y / 2 = 7x + 10y
