Answer:
length = 31 ft
width = 19 ft

Explanation:
Assume that the width of the rectangle is w.
We are given that the length is 12 ft more than the width. This means that the length of the rectangle is w + 12

The perimeter of the rectangle in this case would be:
perimeter = 2 (length + width)
perimeter = 2 (12 + w + w)
perimeter = 24 + 4w

Assume that Dan would use all 100 ft of fencing to surround the yard. This would mean that the largest perimeter is 100 ft.

Therefore:
perimeter = 24 + 4w
100 = 24 + 4w
4w = 100 - 24
4w = 76
w = 19 ft

Since we have calculated that the width of the yard is 19 ft, we can substitute to get the length as follows:
length = 12 + w
length = 12 + 19
length = 31 ft

Hope this helps :)

To answer this question you will write an equation using 100 as the perimeter and w + 12 as the length.

See attached picture for this work.

The biggest width would be 19 feet. The inequality shows that the width would need to be at 19 feet or lower.

What is the measurement of angle 2?
Alchen [17]
A straight line has an angle of 180. A right angle has an angle of 90. Angle 3 is the same as angle 80°, 6, and 8. Angle 2 is the same as angle 4, 5, and 7. All you have to do is subtract the angle you know from 180, and what will be left off is Angle 3.
Then you find out what angles are the same and you have your answer.

If 4x^2 - 100 = 0 then the roots of the equation are
iVinArrow [24]
4x² - 100 = 0
<u>     + 100  + 100</u>
         <u> 4x²</u> = <u>100</u>
          4        4
           x² = 25
            x = <u>+</u>5
 4(5)² - 100 = 0
4(25) - 100 = 0
  100 - 100 = 0
               0 = 0

4(-5)² - 100 = 0
 4(25) - 100 = 0
   100 - 100 = 0
                0 = 0

The roots of the equation is positive or negative 5.
