For the carpet:
Given:
Area = x^2 + x - 20 ft^2
Length = x+ 5 ft
As a carpet is rectangular, the area is defined as the product of the length and the width. To obtain an expression of the carpet's width, the area is to be divided by the length, which is shown below:
__x_-_4___x + 5|x^2 + x - 20 x^2 + 5x -------- -4x - 20 -4x - 20 -------- 0
Therefore, the expression of width = x - 4.
Applying the value of x = 20 to obtain the measurements of the carpet, we obtain the following:
Width = x - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16ft
Length = x+ 5 = 20 + 5 = 25ft.
Therefore, the carpet is 25ft x 16ft.
For the wall:
The same principles apply to the wall as it is also assumed to be rectangular.
Given:
Area = <span>x^2 + 17x + 30 ft^2
Width = x + 2
To obtain the expression for the wall's length, Area is to be divided by the Width, which is shown below:
__x_+_15______x + 2|x^2 + 17x + 30 x^2 + 2x -------- 15x + 30 15x + 30 --------- 0
Therefore, the expression for the wall's length is x + 15.
Applying the value of x = 20 to obtain the wall's dimensions:
Length = x + 15 = 20 + 15 = 35ft.
Width = x + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22ft.
Therefore the wall has measurements of 35ft x 22ft.</span>
The answer is 10 because x is = to 12 because it is a square and the first two sides add up to 20
Ok so what you need to do is first find the area of the circle using π r^2. So π12^2 or π144= 452.389342117 This is the area of the whole circle. To find the area of the sector you have to multiply the total area by 172/360 or 0.47777777777 This will get you 216.141574567 round as necessary but your answer is <span>216.141574567units^2</span>
