Answer:

Part A) A=1.25W^2

Part B) Length: 17.5 feet and Width: 14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Create an equation to represent the area of the basketball section A, in terms of the width W.

Let

L ----> the length of the  rectangular basketball section

W ---> the width of the  rectangular basketball section

we know that

The area of the rectangular basketball section is equal to

A=LW ----> equation A

The length of the section will be 1.25 times the width of the section

so

L=1.25W ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

A=(1.25W)W\\A=1.25W^2

Part B) Jackson decides to make the area of the basketball section 245 square feet. What are the dimensions, in feet, of the basketball section?

we have

A=1.25W^2\\A=245\ ft^2

so

245=1.25W^2

solve for W

W^2=245/1.25\\W^2=196\\W=14\ ft

Find the value of L

substitute the value of W in the equation B

L=1.25(14)=17.5\ ft

therefore

The dimensions are :

Length: 17.5 feet

Width: 14 feet

Joaquin can send up to 250 to text messages each month so far this month he has sent 141 text messages let t represent the numbe
guapka [62]

Question is Incomplete,Complete Question is given below;

Joaquin can send 250 text each month so far this month he has sent 141 text message let T represent the number of text messages Joaquin can send during the rest of the month. Write an inequality to model the situation. Solve the inequality for t.

Answer:

The Inequality modelling the situation is 141+t\leq 250.

Joaquin can send at the most 109 messages for the remaining of the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of messages already sent = 141

Total number of messages he can send = 250

We need to write the inequality to model the situation and solve for the same.

Solution:

Let remaining number of messages he can send be 't'.

Now we know that;

Number of messages already sent plus remaining number of messages he can send should be less than or equal to Total number of messages he can send.

framing in equation form we get;

141+t\leq 250

Hence The Inequality modelling the situation is 141+t\leq 250.

On Solving the above equality we will find the value of 't'.

Now we will subtract both side by 141 using subtraction property of inequality we get;

141+t-141\leq 250-141\\\\t\leq 109

Hence Joaquin can send at the most 109 messages for the remaining of the month.
