Let the dimensions be x and y
Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)
Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)
(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5
The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters
Answer: 1 2 3
Step-by-step explanation:
She needs 15 crates of limes
2x6=12
40x6=240 limes required to make 12 liters
240/16=15 crates needed
If x>5......f(x)= x-5
if x <5......f (x)= -x+5
Answer: Approximately 96 square feet
======================================================
Work Shown:
1 ft = 30 cm
1 ft = (5*6) cm
1 ft = 5*(6 cm)
1 ft = 5*(1 board width)
1 ft = 5 board widths
12*(1 ft) = 12*(5 board widths)
12 ft = 60 board widths
12 ft = 1 full wall length
The wall is 12 feet horizontally across and 8 feet tall, so its estimated area is 12*8 = 96 square feet approximately. This is approximate because of the fact we used the approximation of 1 ft = 30 cm.
