Answer:

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let the

length = L

Width = W

Area = LW = 55

The length is nine feet less than four times the width

L = 4W - 9

W (4W - 9) = 55

4W^2 - 9W -55 = 0

4W^2 - 20W + 11W - 55 = 0

4W(W - 5) + 11(W - 5) = 0

(W - 5)(4W + 11) = 0

W - 5 = 0 , 4W + 11=0

W = 5 or  - 11/4

since the width cannot be negative, W = 5

LW = 55

L = 55/5

L = 11

The length and width are 11ft and 5ft respectively.

What is (4a²)³÷8a²? can you please answer in normal number form (not like 3²)
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

8a^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! (4a^2)^3=4\cdot4\cdot4\cdot a^2\cdot a^2\cdot a^2=64a^6because if you multiply numbers with exponents you add the exponents.

Now we've got\frac{64a^6}{8a^2}=8a^4.

Sadly it has to be in exponential form. You can substitute a into the equation if you know a.
