Answer:

The length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the yard

The width can be represented by x - 2, since it is 2 less than the length.

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is width

Plug in the expressions and perimeter:

20 = 2x + 2(x - 2)

Solve for x:

20 = 2x + 2x - 4

20 = 4x - 4

24 = 4x

6 = x

So, the length is 6. Plug this into x - 2 to find the width

x - 2

6 - 2

= 4

So, the length is 6 feet and the width is 4 feet

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Teresa is building a scale model of the JP Morgan chase Tower in Houston.

Her scale model, 1.5 inches represents 61 meters.

The actual building is 305 meters tall,

First find how many 61's are there in 305.

For this divide 305 by 61.

\frac{305}{61}= 5

Actual building is 5 times taller than 61. Thus the model should be 5 times taller than 1.5.

multiply 1.5 with 5 gives us:

1.5\times 5=7.5

Hence, Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.
