Answer:

w=10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a rectangle with an area of ​​140 square feet whose length (l) is 4 feet more than its width (w) and  knowing that rectangle area is base (b) by height (h) then:

A=b*h\\140ft^{2}= l*w \\

but, l=w+4ft;

140= (w+4)*w=w^{2}+4w\\w^{2}+4w-140=0

applying cuadratic equation

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}; where a=1, b=4 and c=-140

w1=10 and w=-14, we take w1 for being area values

finally:

width = 10 ft

Answer: width = 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = length × width

Let l be length and w be width

l = w + 4 ........equation (1)

From above formula

140 = l × w. ........equation (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

140 = (w+4) × w

w^2 + 4w= 140

w^2 + 4w - 140= 0

By factorization method

(w+14)(w-10)= 0

w=-14 or w= 10

So now width is 10 ft

From equation(1)

l=w+4

l= 10+4

l= 14 ft

Width = 10 ft and length = 14 ft

(w+9) (w+4) find the product of the equation
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

w^2 + 13w + 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying Polynomials (FOIL- Firsts, Outs, Inners, Lasts)

(w+9) (w+4)          Multiply- Firsts (w*w)   Outs (w*4)   Inners (9*w)   Lasts (9*4)

w*w + w*4 + 9*w + 9*4     Multiply the FOIL

w^2 + 4w + 9w + 36          Combine like terms (same variables, numbers)

w^2 + 13w + 39

What is the area of the cross section if the length is 12 cm and the width is 10 cm?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

120 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question;

  • Length is 12 cm
  • Width is 10 cm

We are required  to determine the area of the cross section;

  • Note that the cross section is the plane of a solid that remains constant through the solid.
  • In this case, the cross section is a rectangle whose dimensions are 12 cm by 10 cm.

But Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Therefore;

Area of cross section = 12 cm × 10 cm

                                   = 120 cm²

Thus, area of the cross section is 120 cm²

Find the circumference of the circle. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

c.132

Step-by-step explanation:

so we are given the diameter which is 42m **the diameter is the straight line that passes through the middle of the circle**

but in order to find the circumference we need to find the radius **the radius is always half (1/2,0.5) of the diameter**

so we have to divide 42/2 which equals 21

now we need to set up the formula;

c=2πr/c=2xπxr  **when unknown variables such as 'r' are next to another mathematical numeral such as the pi symbol you don't really have to but the multiplication symbol between them**

c=2π21

=131.946891451

and in your case, it seems we must round to the tenths place so the nine then "becomes a ten" and you're left with 132

good luck :)

i hope this helps

have a good one !!
