Answer:

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation</u>:-

Let 'x' be the width

Given data the length of a rectangular patio is 8 feet less than twice its width

2x-8 = length

The area of rectangle = length X width

Given area of rectangle = 280 square feet

x(2x-8) = 280

2(x)(x-4) =280

x(x-4) =140

x^2 -4x -140=0

x^2-14x+10x-140=0

x(x-14)+10(x-14)=0

(x+10)(x-14) =0

x = -10 and x = 14

we can choose only x =14

The width of the rectangle 14

The length of the rectangle 2x-8 = 2(14)-8 = 28 -8 =20

The length of the rectangle 'l' = 20

The width of the rectangle 'w' = 14

A car traveled 330 miles during a 5½ hour period. If the speed at which the car traveled can be represented in the equation d=rt
Alina [70]

Answer:

The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance traveled = 330 miles

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

we need to find the speed of the car .

Solution:

Time Period = 5 \frac12\ hr

Now we can say that;

\frac12\ hr =0.5\ hr

So Time period = 5+0.5 =5.5\ hr

Now we know that;

Distance traveled (d) is equal to Speed (r) multiplied by Time Period (t).

framing in equation form we get;

d=rt\\\\330 =r\times 5.5

Dividing both side by 5.5 we get;

\frac{330}{5.5}=\frac{5.5r}{5.5}\\\\r = 60\ mi/hr

Hence The car was travelling at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
