Area = length x width
21 = length x 5
length = 21/5 = 4.2

The length is inversely proportional to the width because as the length increases the width reduces and vice-versa

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Molly wants her rectangular rooftop garden to have the area = 21 feet²

Width of the rectangular garden is = 5 feet

Let the length of the garden = l feet

Since we know the formula of "area of the garden = Length × width"

Length = \frac{\text{Area of the garden}}{\text{Width}}

This formula represents length of the garden ∝ \frac{1}{\text{Width}}

Length of the garden is inversely proportional to the width of the garden.

(Length increases with the decrease in width)

Now we plug in the values in the formula.

l = \frac{21}{5}

 = 4.2 feet

Option C. is the answer.

Find the sum.
Strike441 [17]

You are gonna use the distributive property.

4(2.5g - 4) + 3(1.2g - 2)

So you are going to multiply 4 with everything inside the first set of parenthesis and your gonna multiply 3 with everything insides the second set of parenthesis.

4 x 2.5g - 4 x 4 + 3 x 1.2g - 3 x 2

10g - 16 + 3.6g - 6

You wanna combine like terms:

10 - 3.6g + 16 - 6

6.4g + 10

You answer is 6.4g + 10.

Hope this Helps!!

Given the following geometric sequence, find the common ratio: {3, 18, 108, ...).
vodomira [7]
Geometric sequences go up due to a common ratio. Here the common ratio can be worked out by dividing a term by its previous term e.g term 2 divided by term 1.

18/3 = 6


Therefore the common ratio is 6.
