The area of a rectangle is <em>L x W</em>. We have to get the value of x first so that we can find the area of the rectangle.
To get the value of x given: <span>a. 12 & X
b. X-2 & 16 </span>
solution: 12x (x) = (8-2 ) 16 12x = 16x-32 32 = 16x-- 12x <u>32 </u> = <u>4x</u> 4 4 8 = x
Checking:
a. 12 & X b. X-2 & 16
Area of a rectangle = L x W Area of a rectangle = L x W =12 x 8 = (8-2) 16 Area of a rectangle = 96 = 6 (16) Area of a rectangle = 96
It has been determined that the number of fish f(t) that can be caught in t minutes in a certain pond using a certain bait is f(t) = .25t + 1, for t > 10. Find the number of fish that can be caught if you fish for 15 minutes. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
