The length and width of the garden will be obtain as follows:
let the length be x ft, the width will be (x+3.5)ft
area of the bed will be:
A=length*width
11.76=x(x+3.5)
11.76=x^2+3.5x
thus
x^2+3.5x-11.76=0
solving this by quadratic formula we get:
x=[-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a
thus plugging in the values we obtain
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt(3.5^2-4(-11.76*1))]/2
x=[-3.5+/-sqrt59.29]/2
x=[-3.5+/-7.7]/2
x=4.2 or -11.2
thus the length will be x=4.2 ft and the width will be x-3.5=0.7 ft
Answer:
3/ and 2/4X70$= C
Step-by-step explanation:
SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw
SA = 2(15)(2) + 2(15)(6) + 2(6)(2)
SA = 60 + 180 + 24
SA = 264
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
-8x-2y<6
put in x and y and see if it is less than 6
-8(3) -2(2) <6
-24 -4 <6
-28 <6
yes
it is a solution
Answer:
x=36
y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 0 for x to find the y-intercept
0 + 4y = 36
4y = 36
y = 9
y-intercept (0, 9)
Plug in 0 for y to find the x-intercept
x + 4(0) = 36
x = 36
x-intercept (36, 0)
