The sum of length and width is (98 in)/2 = 49 in.
The length is 2/(2+5) times the sum of length and width, so is 2/7*49 in = 14 in.
The width is 5/7*49 in = 35 in.

The area of the rectangle is (14 in)*(35 in) = 490 in².

The length of a rectangle is the sum of the width and 2. The area of the rectangle is 48 units. What is the length, in units, of
suter [353]

Length of the rectangle is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the length, let width be x.

Area of the rectangle = 48 units

Length = x + 2

⇒ Area = Length × Breadth

48 = x (x + 2)

48 = x² + 2x

x² + 2x - 48 = 0

x² + 8x - 6x + 48 = 0 (Product Sum rule to factorise)

x(x + 8) - 6(x + 8) = 0

(x - 6)(x + 8) = 0

⇒ x = 6, -8 (negative value is neglected)

∴ x = 6

x + 2 = 8

A dog chases a squirrel. The dog is originally 200 feet away from the squirrel. The dog’s speed is 150 feet per minute. The squi
puteri [66]
Set up the equation as follows:

150x = 100x + 200

150x represents the dog's speed, 100x represents the squirrel's speed, and 200 represents the distance the squirrel has on the dog. x is the amount of minutes that elapse.

Subtract 100x from both sides.

50x = 200

Divide both sides by 50.

x = 4

It will take the dog 4 minutes to catch up with the squirrel.
