Because l•w= area, area= 320, l=w+4
width • (width +4)= 320

Distribute the multiplication over addition and move all to the left side.
w^2 +4w-320=0
(w-16)•(w+20)=0 yet, The product of two things is 0 if one is 0 or both are 0 so
w-16=0 so w=16 and
w+20=0 so w= -20

Now the width or length could not be negative so we discard the solution w=-20.

Answer
width= 16 inches
length =16+4=20

Verify
w•l=320
16•20=320✔️

Find the values of x and y that make the following quadrilateral a parallelogram.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

x = 3 and y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Hence,

1) 7y + 2 = 6y + 16

I. e. 7y - 6y = 16 - 2

I. e. y = 14

2) 8x + 8 = 6x + 14

I. e. 8x - 6x = 14 - 8

I. e. 2x = 6

I. e. x = 6/2

I. e. x = 3

A zucchini plant in Darnell’s garden was 10 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Let's start with part B. if it was originally 10 cm tall and it goes up 0.5 cm. each day, then we know that to go up one cm it needs two days. With that information we can say that 8*2 = 16. So it needs 17 days to go up 8.5 cm which would make it 18.5 cm tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 0.5x + 10

0.5x + 10 = 18.5

0.5x = 18.5 - 10

0.5x = 8.5

x = 8.5/0.5

x = 17 days
