The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.

W=S-2 and L=2S-3

And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.

S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:

S^2=(2S-3)(S-2)  perform indicated multiplication on right side

S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6  combine like terms on right side

S^2=2S^2-7S+6  subtract S^2 from both sides

S^2-7S+6=0  factor:

S^2-S-6S+6=0

S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0

(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:

S=6 is the only valid value for S.  Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...

W=S-2 and L=2S-3  given that S=6 in

W=4 in and L=9 in

So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.

Quick Please :) Exponents and powers
MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

(  {4}^{ - 3} ) ^{ - 3}  =  {4}^{9}

( { - 4}^{9} )  ^{2} = ( - 4) {}^{18}

( {4}^{6} ) ^{ - 3}  =      \frac{1}{{4}^{18}}

(  { - 4}^{9} ) {}^{2}  = ( { - 4})^{18}

({4}^{0} ) =  {4}^{0}

Hope this is correct and helpful

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

Pls answer fast<br> (√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)²
Masja [62]

(√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)²

  • (a+b)² = a² + b² + 2ab
  • ( a - b )² = a² + b² - 2ab

<em>Now </em><em>,</em>

(√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)²

(3 + 11 + 2√3√11)+ (3 +11 - 2√3√11)

14 + 2√33+ 14 - 2√33

14 + 14 = 28

Hence , The value of (√3 + √11)² + (√3 - √11)² is 28 .
