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

2x-3y=-11. 3x+2y=20 system of equations I'm not good at these at all I still can't solve any of them
baherus [9]
Okay, so you what you would is solve one equation for Y=mx+b and then substitute this equation for Y so the answer would be Y=-3/2x + 20
And then you would do 2x-3(-3/2x+20)=-11 and you solve it for x
But to get y you would substitute what you got for x into ether equations.
