Answer:

21cm, 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

width=x cm

length=2x-3 cm

area= 252cm²

l*b= 252 cm²

(2x-3)(x)=252

2x²-3x= 252

this is how I did it

we need to find the nearest square of the number (it should be lesser than the area)

that is 225, whose square root is 15.

since there is a coefficient to the x², the value of x would be calculate like this 15- (2+1)= 15-3 = 12

x= 12

we can verify it too,

2*(12)² - 3*12=252

288-36=252

252=252

therefore width is 12 cm and width is 2*12-3= 24-3= 21 cm

verify;

21*12= 252

252=252

hence the dimensions are 12 am (width) and 21 cm(length).

Vikki [24]

Given, a parking lot charges $3 for first hour and $2 per hour after that.

So for t hours, the parking lot charges $3 for the first hour and after first hour there is (t-1) hours left.

So for (t-1) hours it will charge $2 per hour.

The charges for (t-1) hours = $2(t-1).

Total charges for t hours for one car = $(3+2(t-1))

Now for the second car, it will charge 75% of the first car.

So the charges for second car

=$[ (3+2(t-1))(75/100)]

=$0.75(3+2(t-1))

There are 3 cars. That parking charges for the third car is also 75% of the first car.

So for third car the parking charges are same as for the second car.

Total parking charges for 3 cars

= $(3+2(t-1))+(0.75(3+2(t-1))+(0.75(3+2(t-1))

= $(3+2(t-1))+(0.75)(2(3+2(t-1))

We have got the required answer here.

The correct option is option C.

Alona [7]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

total of all the degrees of the angles of the triangle is ALWAYS 180

let the measure of angle G be x

180 = 102+30+x

180 = 132+x

x = 48
