The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width. The area is 744 sqaure yards, find the length and width of the rectangle

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

$\\ \: \: \: \: \pink{ \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} = Length × Width }}} \\ \\$

On Substituting the required values, we get;

$\\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf {x}^{2} + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \: or \: - 31 \\ \\$

As we know that width of the rectangle can't be negative. So x = 24

Hence,

Width of rectangle = x = 24 yards
Length of the rectangle = x + 7 = 31 yards

$\therefore$ Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

What is the area of this figure? Enter your answer in the box.

earnstyle [38]

To find the area you do base times height. Base is the number across,and height is the number that is up and down.So in this case you will multiply 9 and 5 and 9 and 7 and get 45 and 72.Then you will add 45 and 72 together and get 117. So the area is 117. Answer 117. Hope this helps :D.

How many quarter hours are in 5 hours?

nikklg [1K]

There is a few ways to get the result.
Lets try this.
First calculate how many minutes are in the 5 hours.
60min*5=300min - in 5 hours
Now, knowing that quarter is 15min we can divide 300 by 15 to get the result, so
300:15=20 - its the result.
