Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 8 1/3 % of x

24 = (25/3 * 1/100)x

25/300 x = 24

x = 24 * 300/25

x = 7200/25

x = 288

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width. If the area is 6ft, then what are the exact length and widt

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Exact dimensions:

$width=-1+\sqrt{7}$

$length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2$

$length=1+\sqrt{7}$

Approximate dimensions:

$width=1.64575ft$

$length=1.64575+2$

$length=3.64575ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume width of rectangle is w ft

The length of a rectangular flower bed is 2ft longer than the width

so,

length =w+2

$L=w+2$

now, we can find area

$A=L\times W$

now, we can plug it

$A=(w+2)\times w$

$A=w^2+2w$

we are given area =6

so, we can set it equal

and then we can solve for w

$w^2+2w=6$

$w^2+2w-6=0$

we can use quadratic formula

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

now, we can compare and find a,b and c

a=1 , b=2 , c=-6

$w=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{2^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-6\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}$

$w=-1+\sqrt{7},\:w=-1-\sqrt{7}$

we know that dimension can never be negative

so, we will only consider positive value

Exact dimensions:

$width=-1+\sqrt{7}$

$length=-1+\sqrt{7}+2$

$length=1+\sqrt{7}$

Approximate dimensions:

$width=1.64575ft$

$length=1.64575+2$

$length=3.64575ft$
