Hi!

length = l = 2 * width = 2 * w

Area = l * w = l * 2 * l = 2 * l^2

2 * l^2 = 72

l^2 = 72/2 = 36

l = square root of 36

l = 6

l = 2 * w => w = l/2 = 6/2 = 3

Perimeter = 2 * l + 2 * w = 2 * 6 + 2 * 3 = 12 + 6 = 18 feet

Hope this helps!

The school that molly goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 6 sen

The cost of a senior citizen ticket is $15 and the cost of a student ticket is $12.

How did I get this?
We know that 6 citizen tickets and 7 student stickers sold for $174 the first day. And 10 citizen tickets and 14 student tickets sold for $318 the second day.

1. create two equations out of this: C= citizen cost per ticket and S = student cost per ticket.

  6C + 7S = $174
10C + 14S = $318

2. Use process of elimination. Multiply the first equation by 2 because we want two variables to cancel out.

-12C - 14S = -$348
10C + 14S = $318
Combine like terms.

-2C = $30
Divide by -2 on both sides. The left side cancels out.

C = $30/-2
C = -$15 (In this case the negative doesn't matter)

C = $15 (cost of senior citizen ticket)

Plug the value of C into any of the two equations so we can get the value of S.

6($15) + 7S = $174
Distribute the 6 into the parenthesis.

$90 + 7S = $174
Subtract both sides by $90 and the left side will cancel out.

7S = $84
Divide both sides by 7.
S = $12

Student ticket: $12
Senior citizen ticket: $15
