You are enclosing a rectangular garden with 180 feet of omamental fencing. The area of the garden is 1800 square feet. What are
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is
P = 2L + 2W. We are given the perimeter as 180 feet, so
180 = 2L + 2W. Solve this for either L or W. I chose W, no reason...
180 - 2L = 2W so
90 - L = W Hold that thought. We'll come back to it in a minute.
Area is
A = LW. We are given the area as 1800 square feet, so
1800 = LW. Sub in 90 - L for W:
1800 = L(90 - L). Distribute to get a quadratic:
Get everything on one side and solve for the length by factoring:
Factor this however you like to factor quadratics, to get the length of
L = 30 and L = 60. First off, the length is longer than the width in general, so if we want to solve for the width, plug in 60 as L in the equation in bold print:
90 - 60 = W and
30 = W
So L = 60 and W = 30

For this sort of problem, you need to be familiar with prefixes.
So:
megabyte = bytes
kilobyte = bytes
and a regular byte would just be
Now, you will need to do a conversion:
I'm going to explain this just in case, but we convert megabytes to regular bytes in the first half by using the information I gave you above. (In one megabyte, there are bytes!)
In the second fraction thought, remember one kilobyte is bytes. However, you usually only see one of each thing on the bottom of fractions, so you need to add a negative sign to the 3. (technically you could just do
, but I think it is more correct to do write it out how I did).
*** They do equal the same thing though! Do whichever way is easier for you!
Now, your answer should be:
kilobytes (1000 kilobytes)
