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.

$20090

because, in three years it would have depreciated by 18% (9%*3=18) so you would subtract 18% off of $24500

<em>IMPORTANT THIGNS TO REMEMBER:</em>

  • Has 20 lb. dog food!
  • Gives dog 1 3/5 everyday!
  • Find how much eaten after 2 days!
  • Find how much is left!

<em>ANSWER:</em>

Dog has eaten 3 1/5 after 2 days!

There is 16 4/5 left in bag!

<em>EXPLANATION:</em>

Since she gives 1 3/5 to her dog everyday and their asking for 2 days you would multiply 1 3/5 × 2 OR add 1 3/5 + 1 3/5

Which would give you 3 1/5

So, the dog has eaten 3 1/5 lb. of dog food in 2 days.

However then, you would subtract 20 lb. - 3 1/5 lb. because there is 20 lb. dog food in all and the dog has eaten 3 1/5 of it. This would give you 16 4/5 lb.

Meaning there is 16 4/5 lb. left in the bag of dog food!
