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

The perimeter of the kite is 134 cm. Find the value of x.
frez [133]

Answer:

x = 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 2) + (3x + 2) + (4x - 5) + (4x - 5) = 134 cm

combine like terms:

14x - 6 = 134

add 6 to each side of the equation:

14x = 140

divide both sides by 14:

x = 10
