Answer: Length = 11

              Width = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the unknown length.

Let x - 2 represent the unknown width.

The perimeter is equal to 2 times x + (x -2)

Equation:

2 (x + (x - 2)) = 40

x + (x - 2) = 40/2

x + x - 2 = 20

2x - 2 = 20

2x -2 + 2 = 20 + 2

The length is: 2x = 22 -> x = 22/2 -> x = 11

The width is: x - 2 = 9

Ganezh [65]

Answer: area is 286.16 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the sand pit is 29.2 feet and the width is 9.8 feet.

L= 29.2 ft

W = 9.8 ft

To find out the area, all we have to do is multiply the lenght by the width:

And do not forget that to calculate the area, all units must be the same and for the area, it is always the unit squared, in this case, feet square or simply (ft²).

A = l*w

A = 29.2 * 9.8 = 286.16 ft²

What is algebra? What do you do with algebra?
tigry1 [53]

Algebra is a very important branch of math.

Algebra is a lot like arithmetic which means it follows all the rules of arithmetic, and it still uses the four main operations that arithmetic is built on.

In arithmetic, the only thing that was unknown was the answer to the problem. For example, 39 + 2 = 41.  In algebra, we use a variable to represent the number. A variable is a letter that represents any number. The most common variable is "x".
