<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

Which definition for a ligament did you think was better? Explain. 1- A ligament is made up of tissue that forms a band. 2- A ligament is a band of tough tissue connecting bones or holding organs in place.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

A ligament is a band of tough tissue connecting bones or holding organs in place is the better definition.

Option B

<h3><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>

Ligament is a type of connective tissue which develops from the mesoderm. Its actually a tough band containing mostly collagen tissue. Ligament joins two bones which forms a joint.

Ligament is formed of collagen fibres which run parallel to each other and this forms a band. It's very tough and this is why, it can hold bones together.

Ligaments that hold organs are actually pseudo ligaments which are actually folds of peritonium that holds the organs in place.

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 45 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid

Answer:

Mark as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

by using the formula for area: A= L x W substitute in what you know: A = 54 , the length in terms of the width so use

L=12 + 2W.

Now when everything is plugged in you now have: 54 = (12 + 2W) x W

Then use the Distributive Property to simplify: 54 = 12W + 2W2

Since you know have a quadratic to solve get it in the form ax2+bx + c = 0 so that you can solve it:

You do this by subtracting 54 from both sides and putting the 2W2 first so now it looks like this:

2W2 + 12W -54 = 0

Using the quadratic formula where a =2, b = 12, and c = -54.

Find b2-4ac which is the discriminant:

(12)2-4*2*(-54)=576

Take the square root of 576= 24

Now substitute the rest of the values into the Quadratic Formula:

It will look something like this: W = (-b plus or minus the square root of the discriminant)/2a

The two possible answers are:

W = (-12 + 24)/4 and W = (-12 - 24)/4

W = 12/4= 3 and W = -36/4= -9 (This second answer isn't possible because length can't be negative)

So the answer is:

Width = 3 feet Length = 12 + 2W = 12 + 2*3= 12 + 6 = 18 feet

This checks because A = L x W and 54 = 18 x 3
