The area of a rectangle = length x width so:
A = <em>l </em>x w

if we know the area of the playground is 20 sq yards, then:

20 = <em>l x </em>w

if the length is 5 times the width, then:
<em>l = 5w
</em>
We can combine these equations by substituting this <em>" l </em>" into the first equation:

20 = 5w x w

Now solve!

20 = 5w x w
combine the w's
20 = 5w²
divide both sides by 5
4 = w²
square root both sides
2 = w

The width of the playground is 2 yards. 

To find the length of the playground, you can plug that back into the equation
<em>l = </em>5w <em>
</em><em>l </em>= 5(2)
<em /><em>l = </em>10
<em>
</em>The length of the playground is 10 yards.<em>

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A). They will all be blue.

Genotype of the parents are BB and bb.

As both are homozygous in nature so, each will produce only one type of gamete.

BB will produce gamete B and bb will produce b as its gamete.

The cross will results in the production of offspring each with genotype Bb.

We know that blue is a dominant trait and thus it will be expressed in heterozygous condition (Bb).

Hence, all offspring would be blue in color.

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

B. active transport

Explanation:

When a substance is to be transported from the area of its lower concentration to the area of its higher concentration, energy is consumed. The process is called active transport as it uses energy to move molecules against the concentration gradient. Membrane transport proteins such as pumps are involved in this type of transport. Therefore, the given bacterium needs to use the process of active transport to absorb the nutrients from the surroundings.

DedPeter [7]

The answer is pronuclei. A pronuclei is the state of the nucleus of either the sperm or the ovum after the sperm has entered the ovum but the two nuclei have not yet fused. When the sperm enters the ovum, the membrane of the sperm pronuclei dissolves hence leaving no barrier for the two genetic materials to combine.
