The area of a surface is the number of square units present in the surface. For a rectangle, it is calculated from the product of the length and the width. To determine the length and width of the lot given above, we first assume that it is in a rectangular shape which is defined by its length and its width. We are given the following:

Area = 4200 square feet
Length = 4x - 20 feet
Width = x feet

From the definition of the area of a rectangle,

Area = length x width
4200 = (4x -20) (x)
4200 = 4x^2 - 20x
4x^2 - 20x - 4200 = 0
4(x^2 - 5x - 1050) = 0
x^2 - 5x -1050 = 0

Factoring the equation would lead to:
(x - 35) (x +30) = 0
x -35 = 0 ; x = 35
x + 30 = 0 ; x = -30

The width should not be a negative value so the width would be equal to 35 feet. So, the length would be 

Length = 4(35) - 20 = 120 feet

What is the value of log279?<br> -3/2, -2/3, 2/3, 3/2
kaheart [24]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

log27(9)

Factor the number: 27=3³

= log3³(9)

Apply log rule: loga^b(x) - 1/b loga(x).

log3³(9) =1/3 log3³(9)

=1/3 log3³(9)

Factor the number: 9=3²

=1/3 log3³(3²)

Apply log rule: loga(a^b) =b

log3 (3²) =2

1/3×2

=2/3

John put away 36 of 48 shirts in his closet. Don has 84 shirts. If he put away the same percent, how many shirts did Don put in
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

63

Step-by-step explanation:

John's percentage:

36 and 48 have a common factor of 12 so divide both of them by 12.

36/12= 3 and 48/12=4 therefore

so 36/48= 3/4 which is 75% but we don't need to focus on the percent.

Don's no. of shirts:

we know Don has 84 shirts so we say

3/4 of 84= no. of shirts that Don put in his closet

84/4=21 21x3=63

Don put 63 shirts in his closet.

Hope that helped! Anymore questions just ask! :)
