X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2 it does not validate
x₂=3/2 ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10
The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles
to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒ 3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles
I'll try to understand this but I don't really get it because I'm in middle school
Answer: 12.1 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rectangular fence so it represents a rectangle.
Fencing the garden will require going around it therefore you are looking for the perimeter.
Perimeter of a rectangle = (2 * Length) + ( 2 * Width)
= (2 * 315) + ( 2 * 290)
= 1,210 cm
Convert to meters:
A meter is 100 centimeters
= 1,210 / 100
= 12.1 meters
24=26 is the answer... want mhe 2 show you?
