So remember that the pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2
c=18
legnth is 3 more than width
l=3+w
a=3+b
subsitute
(3+b)^2+b^2=18^2
expand
9+6b+b^2+b^2=324
subbtract 9 from both sides
6b+2b^2=313
subtract 313 from both sides
2b^2+6b-313=0
factor
use quadratic formula and get
b=11.1
subsitute
a=3+b
a=3+11.1
a=14.1
answer is 14.1 ft by 11.1 ft

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number.why?
lesya692 [45]

One way to understand division is to look at it as repeated
subtraction.  When you "divide by" a divisor number, you're
asking "how many times can I subtract this divisor from the
dividend, before the dividend is all used up ?".

Well, if the divisor is ' 1 ', then you're taking ' 1 ' away from the
dividend each time, and the number of times will be exactly
the same as the dividend.

If the divisor is more than ' 1 ', then you subtract more than ' 1 '
from the dividend each time, and the number of times you can
do that is less than the dividend itself.

If the divisor is less than ' 1 ', then you only take away a piece of
' 1 ' each time.  You can do that more times than the number in
the dividend, because you only take away a piece each time.
