Answer
Length = 10 ft
Width = 5 ft
Explanation
Area of the rectangle given = 50 ft²
Let the width of the rectangle be x
So this means the length of the rectangle will be 3x - 5
What to find:
The dimensions of the rectangle.
Step-by-step solution:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
i.e A = L x W
Put A = 50, L = 3x - 5, W = x into the formula.
The quadratic equation can now be solve using factorization method:
Since the dimension can not be negative, hence the value of x will be = 5.
Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle will be:
Answer:
5 12 9
Step-by-step explanation:
24/4: 24-12: 12+0: 12/1: 48/4: 72/6:
A. For y= 2x-1, the slope is 2 and the y intercept is -1. Therefore, we should first plot (0,-1). From there, for each increment of x, increase y by 2. For y= 4x-5, the slope is 4 and the y ntercelt is -5. Therefore we should plot (0,-5) and plot an increase of 4 on the y axis per increase of 1 on the x axis. The solution is where the lines cross.
B. (2,3)
Answer: 16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle = bh/2
where b = base = unknown
h = height = 5 3/4 inches
Area = 46 inches²
Therefore, 46 = base × 5 3/4 / 2
Cross multiply
46 × 2 = base × 5 3/4
92 = base × 5 3/4
Base = 92 ÷ 5 3/4
Base = 92 ÷ 23/4
Base = 92 × 4/23
Base = 4 × 4
Base = 16 inches
