Answer: The length is 13 inches and the width is 11 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the rectangle.
Let W represent the width of the rectangle.
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = LW
The area of the rectangle is 143 square inches. This means that
LW = 143 - - - - - - - - - - - - --1
The rectangle's length is 2 in more than its width. This means that
L = W + 2
Substituting L = W + 2 into equation 1, it becomes
W(W + 2) = 143
W² + 2W - 143 = 0
W² + 13W - 11W - 143 = 0
W(W + 13) - 11(W + 13) = 0
W + 13 = 0 or W - 11 = 0
W = - 13 or W = 11
Since the width cannot be negative, it means that W = 11
L = W + 2 = 11 + 2
L = 13
To find a missing side of a right triangle use the Pythagorean theorem
A2+b2=c2
C is the hypotenuse (long side)
Plug into the equation
11^2+b2=12^2
121+b2=144
So subtract 144-121 to get the missing side you get 23
Take the square root
It will be 4.7
If they want it rounded
X=5
If I had any mistakes in my answer I am sorry but everything should be correct
Answer:
54 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the slower speed. The product of speed and time is distance, which did not change between the two trips. So, we have ...
1.8(s +6) = 2(s)
10.8 = 0.2s . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 1.8s
54 = s . . . . . . . . divide by 0.2
