Answer:

70 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the perimeter of a rectangle means taking two sides of the same length and adding them to two sides of a seperate length. 20 times two is 40, 180 minus 40 is 140, 140 divided by two is 70. Meaning that the length of the rectangle must be 70 for the width to be 20 and the perimeter to be at least 180 inches.

20x2 = 40 in width
180-40= 140
140/2=70
70 inches

The area of a rectangular piece of cardboard is represented by

Liula [17]

This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.

Area of a rectangle:

The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

$A = wl$

w(2w + 3) = 9

From this, we get that:

$l = 2w + 3, A = 9$

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

$ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0$ .

This polynomial has roots $x_{1}, x_{2}$ such that $ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2})$ , given by the following formulas:

$x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\Delta}}{2*a}$

$\Delta = b^{2} - 4ac$

In this question:

$w(2w+3) = 9$

$2w^2 + 3w - 9 = 0$

Thus a quadratic equation with $a = 2, b = 3, c = -9$

Then

$\Delta = 3^2 - 4(2)(-9) = 81$

$w_{1} = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = 1.5$

$w_{2} = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{81}}{2*2} = -3$

Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

What’s the equation.?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that he spent 1/3 of his earnings, and then 1/4. After this, he has $28.90. You can write the equation like this:

1/4(x * 1/3) = $28.90.

If you need to solve it:

1/4 * 1/3x = 28.90

1/12x = 28.90

x = 346.80
