A = LW
A = 120
W = L - 2

120 = L(L-2)
120 = L^2 - 2L
L^2 - 2L - 120 = 0
(L - 12)(L + 10) = 0

L - 12 = 0
L = 12

L + 10 = 0
L = -10 (extraneous solution...will not work)

length (L) = 12 ft
width (W) = L - 2 = 12 - 2 = 10 ft

likoan [24]
You would eat 3/10 of the box because 3/4 times 2/5 is 3/10. Whenever you see the word "of" it means multiplication.

Answer:

  7π cm² ≈ 22.0 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is the difference between the area of Circle B and the areas of Circle C and Circle O. That is, those white areas are subtracted from the area of Circle B to get the shaded area.

The formula for the area of a circle is

  A = πr²

Using this, we find ...

  Circle B area = π(3 cm)² = 9π cm²

  Circle C area = Circle O area = π(1 cm)² = π cm²

Then the shaded area is ...

  Shaded Area = Circle B area - Circle C area - Circle O area

  = (9π cm²) - (π cm²) - (π cm²)

  = 7π cm² ≈ 22 cm²
