I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

Answer:

<u>27 cm²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Shaded Area = Area ABCE - Area AED

  • S.A. = 6 x 6 - 1/2 x 3 x 6 [DE = 1/2AB = 1/2 X 6 = 3]
  • S.A. = 36 - 9
  • S.A. = <u>27 cm²</u>

Ken has a rectangular shaped vegetable garden that is 15 feet by 9 feet. He would like to increase the length and width by the s
tigry1 [53]

The current area is 15 x 9 = 135 square feet.

He wants to increase both the length and width by X:

Set up an equation:

(15 +x) * (9 +x) = 135 * 2

Simplify :

x^2 + 24x  +  135 = 270

Subtract 270 from both sides:

x^2 + 24x - 135 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

-24 +/- √(24^2 - 4(1*-135) / 2*1

x = 4.7 or -28.7

The answer has to be a positive value, so x = 4.7 feet.
