Answer:

Width is 10ft and length is 6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a shape is the amount inside a shape. It is found using multiplication or A = l*w. Since the width is w and the length is 4ft less than its width or w - 4, use these expressions in the area formula to find their amount.

A = l*w\\60 = w(w -4)\\60 = w^2-4w

Subtract 60 from both sides and factor the quadratic to solve for w.

w^2 -4w - 60 = 0\\(w-10)(w+6) = 0

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 10 = 0 so w = 10

w + 6 = 0 so w = -6.

Since w represents a length or distance it cannot be negative, this means the width is 10. The length which is w - 4ft is 10 -4 = 6. The length is 6 ft.

If f(a)=(a•a•a)-(a•a) + a-1 what is the value of f(-3)?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

-40

Step-by-step explanation:

f(a) = a³ - a² + a - 1

f(-3) = (-3)³ - (-3)² + (-3) - 1

f(-3) = (-27) - (9) + (-3) -1

f(-3) = -27 - 9 -3 - 1

f(-3) = -40

You gave your little sister a good push on a swing and it made an arc of 12 ft. On the third swing it made an arc of 8.67 ft. Ho

10.2 ft Ans.

We solve this using geometric series.

A1 = 12 ft
A2 = ?
A3 = 8.67ft
Now, for geomteric progression,

\frac{A1}{A2} =  \frac{A2}{A3} 




\frac{12}{A2} = \frac{A2}{8.67}

A2 * A2 = (A2)^{2}  =  \sqrt{12 * 8.67 } 
 
A2 = 10.2 ft
