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✔️

In a research laboratory, a scientist measures the mass of a 1-carat diamond and finds it to be 200 milligrams, measured to the
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

D=3.5\ gr/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Density</u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is given by

\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}

It can be expressed in common units like gr/lt, Kg/m^3, gr/cm^3 or any other combination of proper mass [M] by volume [V] units.

The data provided in the question is

m=200\ mg = 0.2\ gr

V=0.057\ cm^3

Thus, the measured density is

\displaystyle D=\frac{0.2\ gr}{0.057 \ cm^3}

\boxed{D=3.5\ gr/cm^3}

We have expressed the result with 1 decimal place because the mass was measured to the nearest hundred milligrams (or one-tenth grams). Any further decimal is senseless because that precision comes from calculations, not from measurements.
