Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2=(3root2)^2
2x^2=9(2)
x^2=9
x= 3,-3
x=3 because your side length can’t be negative.
L= length= 1 1/2 yards
A= area= 3 1/2 yards^2
w= width
Area= length * width
plug in numbers you know
3 1/2= (1 1/2)(w)
convert to improper fractions
(3*2+1)/2= ((1*2+1)/2)(w)
7/2= 3/2w
divide both sides by 3/2
7/2 ÷ 3/2= w
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/2
7/2 * 2/3= w
(7*2)/(2*3)= w
14/6= w
reduce by 2
7/3= width as improper fraction
OR
2 1/3= width as mixed fraction
ANSWER: The width should be 2 1/3 yards wide (or 7/3 yards wide).
Hope this helps! :)
The two numbers are very near 7200 and 300. The sum of those is a good estimate of your sum:
... 7200 + 300 = 7500
_____
If you're taught methods of addition that include "make a ten" or "make a hundred", you know you can "borrow" a 1 from 7203 (making it 7202) and loan that 1 to 299 to make it 300. Now, you know your sum is exactly 7202+300 = 7502, with no estimation necessary.
That one looks very difficuly
