Width: x
Length: 2x
Area=x(2x)=2x^2
2x^2=200
x^2=100
x=10 or -10(reject as x>0) [width cannot be less than 0, doesnt make sense]
Perimeter
=x+x+2x+2x
=6x
=6(10)
=60 yd
Answer:
5 to 6 or 5:6 or 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
30/36 = 15/18 = 5/6
In doing this you can use the factoring method to do this faster. Start by dividing both sides by two to simplify the equation. X^2 now equals 100.
You can move 100 to the other side of the equation so that x^2-100=0. You can now factor and solve using the zero product property.
x^2-100=0
(x+10)(x-10) = 0
x equals 10 and -10.
