Answer:

225 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l and width be w

Condition 1

2l+2w=68 (Perimeter=68)--------(i)

Condition 2

l=3w-2 ---------(ii)

Putting equation (ii) in (i)

2(3w-2)+2w=68

6w-4+2w=68

8w-4=68

8w=68+4

8w=72

dividing both sides by 8

w=9 inches

now putting w=9 in (ii)

l=3(9)-2

l=27-2

l=25 inches

Now

Area of rectangle = l × w

=9 × 25

=225 inches²

Emily knows that the area of a rectangle is 54x9y8 square yards and that it’s length 6x3y4 yards. If she divides the area by the

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Width of the rectangle is: $\mathbf{Width= 9x^6 y^4}$

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = $54x^9y^8$

Length of rectangle = $6x ^ 3y^4$

We need to find width of rectangle.

The formula used is:

$Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width\\Width=\frac{Area\:of\:rectangle}{Length}$

Putting values in the formula to find Width of rectangle

$Width=\frac{Area\:of\:rectangle}{Length}\\Width=\frac{54x^9y^8}{6x^ 3y^4}$

Using the exponent rule: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

and simplifying the terms we get

$Width=\frac{54x^9y^8}{6x^3y^4}\\Width=9x^{9-3} \: y^{8-4}\\Width=9x^6 y^{4}$

So, Width of the rectangle is: $\mathbf{Width= 9x^6 y^4}$

Option C is correct.
