The length of a rectangle is 4 feet more than 4 times the width. If the area is 48 square feet, find the width and length.

Mathematics

____ [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

L = 16 W=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = x

Length = 4x +4

Area = 48

Area = L times w

48= (4x+4)(x)

48 = 4x^2 +4x

0 = 4x^2 +4x -48

0= 4(x^2 +x-12)

0 = (x+4)(x-3)

x = -4

x=3

Ignore the -4 because it's unrealistic to have negative length width or area

Hence, only solution is 3

Width = 3

Length = 4x + 4 = 4(3) + 4 = 12+4 = 16

Hope this helps!

Please mark brainliest if you think I helped! Would really appreciate!

First find the area of the rectangle  by multiplying the length and width of the rectangle, so 12 x25=300. Then find the area of the triangle, which is length x height/ 2. So 8 x 25=200/2=100. Then add the two answers together to get 400.

A storage tank holds 235,500 in^3 of a chemical. The chemical is dispensed to completely fill 25 identical cylindrical container
ololo11 [35]
Volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr^2h

Since the content of the storage tank completely filled the 25 identical cylinders, this means that the volume of the 25 cylinders combined is equal to the volume of the storage tank.

25(πr^2h) = 235,500
πr^2h = 235,500/25 = 9,420
h = 9,420/(3.14 x 5^2) = 9,420/78.5 = 120.

Therefore, the height of the cylinderical containers is 120 in

When Famke charges her phone, it gains 222 percentage points each minute. When Famke uses her phone, it loses 555 percentage poi
Charra [1.4K]
To answer this you can use a guess and check strategy.

Start with 5 minutes using it (25% lost) and 10 minutes charging (20% gained).

Try 7 minutes using it (35% lost) and 14 minutes charging (28%).

Next, 9 minutes (45%) and 18 minutes(36%).

10 minutes (50%) and 20 minutes (40%). This is the difference.

She used it for 10 minutes and charged it for 20 minutes.
