Answer:

Length  L = 17 ft.

Width   W = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L * W

Area = 68 ft²

W = 2L - 30

Area = L * W

68 = L * (2L - 30)

68 = 2L² - 30L

2L² - 30L -68 = 0     ( solve L by using quadratic equation)

        -(-30) ± √ -30² - 4 * 2 * (-68)

L = -------------------------------------------

                       2 * 2

L = 17 ;  L= - 2   therefore use L = 17 ft.

<u>solve for W:</u>

W = 2L - 30

W = 2(17) - 30

W = 34 - 30

W = 4 ft

check:

Area = L * W

68 = 17 * 4

68 = 68  ----- OK

Answer:

Length=17

Width=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Length=x

Width=2x-30

x(2x-30)=68

2x²-30x=68

2x²-30x-68=0

2(x²-15x-34)=0

2(x+2)(x-17)=0

So x equals either 17 or -2.  Since it can’t be -2, x=17

Length=x=17

Width=2x-30=2*17-30=34-30=4

The family car runs out of gas. You have to push it up the driveway into a service station. The ramp is 4 meters long and rises
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope, m = 0.1m/4m = 0.025

Theoretical effort (ignoring friction) = 9000N * 0.025 = 225 N

actual effort = 300 N

efficiency

= potential energy out / actual energy in

= 225 N / 300 N = 0.75
