The correct question is
The raised vegetable garden in Susan's yard is in the shape of a rectangular prism with a volume of 48 cubic feet and a height of 3/4 foot. <span>The base of the rectangular prism is not a square and the width is greater than 2 feet. What is the length and width of the rectangular prism?
let
x-------> the length of the base of the rectangular prism
</span>y-------> the width of the base of the rectangular prism
<span>
we know that
volume of the prism=area of the base*height
volume=48 ft</span>³
<span>height of the prism=3/4 ft
area of the base=volume/height--------> 48/(3/4)---> 48*4/3----> 64 ft</span>²
<span>
area of the base=64 ft</span>²
<span>area of the base=x*y
64=x*y--------> equation 1
y=x+2--------> equation 2
substitute equation 2 in equation 1
64=x*[x+2]-----> 64=x</span>²+2x------> x²+2x-64=0
<span>
using a graph tool----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure
the solution is
x=7.062 ft
y=x+2-----> y=7.062+2-----> y=9.062 ft
the answer is</span>
the length of the base of the rectangular prism is 7.062 ftthe width of the base of the rectangular prism is 9.062 ft<span>

The 2 angles add up to 90 degrees so
x + y = 90, also:-
x - y = 72 (given)
adding the 2 equations:-
2x = 162
x = 81
and therefore
y + 81 = 90
y = 9
Answer the 2 angles are 81 and 9 degrees
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
EG = 59
EF = 8x - 14
FG = 4x + 1
to find the value of x
EF + FG = EG (same line)
8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59
12x -13 = 59
12x = 59 + 13
12x = 72
x = 72 ÷ 12
x = 6
You can even cross check for correct answer
EF + FG = EG
instead of x place the x's value we got
8x - 14 + 4x + 1 = 59
8 (6) - 14 + 4 (6) + 1 = 59
48 - 14 + 24 + 1 = 59
34 + 25 = 59
59 = 59

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
butterfly = x minutes
breast = y minutes
total is 50 minutes
breast stroke = butterfly +20
Part A
x+y = 50
y = x+20
Part B
Substitute the second equation into the first
x+ (x+20) = 50
2x+20 = 50
2x+20-20 = 50-20
2x = 30
2x/2 = 30/2
x = 15
y = x+20
y = 20+15
y = 35 minutes
35 minutes on the breast stroke
Part C
45 minutes on the butterfly is not reasonable
We only have a total of 50 minutes
50-45 = 5
But he spend more time on the breast stroke ( 20 minutes more), but if he spend 45 minutes on the butterfly, he would have to spend less on the breast stroke.
