<h2>Length = 11</h2><h2>Width = 6</h2>

The area of a rectangle is 66 ft^2:

L * W = 66

Length of the rectangle is 7 feet less than three times the width:

L = 3W-7

Substitute L in terms of W:

(3W-7) * W = 66

Factorise the equation:

3W^2 -7W = 66

3W^2 - 7W - 66 = 0

Factors of 66 =

1 66, 2 33, 3 22, 6 11

(3W + 11) (W - 6) = 0

Solve for W:

3W + 11 = 0

3W = 11

W = 3/11

W - 6 = 0

W = 0 + 6

W = 6

Using the original equation, find L:

L = 3W-7

L = 3(6)-7

L = 18-7

L = 11

L * W = 66

11 * 6 = 66

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length * width =Area

3(x-7)*x=66

x^2-7x-22=0

Solve for 'x' using quadratic formula

Now width=9.35234995ft

Length=7.05704985ft

Item 20 A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the sc
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is <u>1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school banner and has a length of 17 inches.

Now, to find the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign.

Dimensions of school banner :

Length = 54 inches.

Width = 36 inches.

Dimension of school sign:

Length = 17 inches.

So, to we find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:

Let the width be x.

So, 54 is equivalent to 36.

Thus, 17 is equivalent to x.

\frac{54}{36} =\frac{17}{x}

By cross multiplying we get:

54x=612

Dividing both sides by 54 we get:

x=11.33\ inches.

Thus, the width of sign = 11.33 inches.

Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:

Area of the school banner : Area of the school sign.

= 54\times 36:17\times 11.33

= 1944:192.61

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.

Ok so add all of them together and you get 305 then divide it by how many numbers there are for the mean and you get 61 then add all of the diffrences from each number to the mean and we get 6 then 61 divided by 6 gets us 10.1 but round it to 10. hope this helped.

weqwewe [10]

Answer: -15 meters


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The Tunnel of Fear ride climbs straight up to its peak above the ground = 50 meters or +50 meters

Then, it drops into an underground tunnel  = 65 meters or -65 meters

Thus, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= +50-65=-15 meters

Hence, the elevation of the tunnel relative to the ground= -15 meters.
