Width = W
Length = 2 times the width plus 3 feet = 2W + 3
Area of triangle A = L * W
A = W (2W + 3)
20 = 2W^2 + 3W
2W^2 + 3W - 20 = 0
(W + 4) (2W - 5) = 0
W + 4 = 0; W = - 4 (width cannot be negative, excluded)
2W - 5 = 0
2W = 5
W = 2.5
L = 2W + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8
Answer:
Width = 2.5 feet and Length = 8 feet
Hope it helps.
second answer to the left
Answer:
When a figure or shape is dilated , the size of the figure either enlarges or shrank without changing its actual shape.
Shape or figure after dilation is similar to original figure.
If the scale or factor of dilation is greater than 1 the shape enlarges.
If the scale factor lies between 0<scale factor<1, then the figure shrinks i.e size reduces.
So out of all the options given →It has the same shape as the original and is smaller than the original figure.
The equation is
(A ≠ B)
A is the first number, ratio, rate, etc. , and B is the second.
The ≠ symbol means "does not equal", so the equation means:
[ Ratio A is NOT equal to Ratio B. ]
