Ron Finley is a gardener who decided a few years ago to plant several gardens in South Central Los Angeles. He wants his next ga

rden to be a rectangle where the length is three times the width. Additionally, it must have a perimeter of 24 yards because of space constraints. What are the length and the width of the garden?

Well, we can be sure that whatever the width is, we can call it ' W '. Then, from information in the question, the length of the garden is ' 3W '.

Now, the perimeter of a rectangle is (length + width + length + width). Using the fancy algebra labels I just gave them, that's (3W + W + 3W + W). And now I can go through that, add up all the Ws, and get a total of 8W for the perimeter.

But he question tells us that the perimeter is 24 yards, so 8W = 24 yds.

Divide each side of that equation by 8, and we discover that W = 3 yds. And if THAT's true, then 3W = 9 yds. Bada bing ! We have the dimensions of the garden.

It's 3 yards wide and 9 yards long.

What is the answer of square root of -24 in complex numbers
Sergio039 [100]

With \sqrt{-1}=i, we have

\sqrt{-24}=\sqrt{(-1)(24)}=\sqrt{-1}\sqrt{24}=i\sqrt{24}

Since 24=2^3\cdot3, we can further write this as

i\sqrt{24}=i\sqrt{2^2\cdot6}=2i\sqrt6

Let n =  the hours elapsed when the two trains are 660 miles apart.


Let the first train travel east and the second train travel west.

The distance traveled by the first train is

x = (50 mi/h)*(n h) = 50n mi


The distance traveled by the second train is

y = (60 mi/h)*(n h) = 60n h


The distance between the two trains after n hours is

x + y = 50 n + 60n = 110n mi


Because this distance is 660 miles, therefore

110n = 660

n = 6 hours


Answer: 6 hours


I hope this helps. Sorry it took so long
