The original are would be 48.
Since we know that the length and width are two consecutive even integers, we can model them as follows:
Width = x
Length = x + 2
This works because no matter what even number is put in for x, the length will also be even.
Now we know if we subtract 3 from the width, we have a new rectangle that gives us an area of 24 inches. Therefore, our new triangle has the following:
Width: x - 3
Length: x + 2
Area: 24
And we can plug this into the equation.
Length* Width = Area
(x + 2)(x - 3) = 24
x^2 - x - 6 = 24
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
This is not a quadratic that we can factor to show the following:
(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0
This gives us the answers of x = 6 and x = -5. Since a side can't be negative, we throw out the x = -5 and the answer is x = 6.
So if we go back to the original rectangle, we know:
Width = x = 6
Length = x + 2 = 8
Area = 6*8 = 48
Answer:
- 1/4 of a pound
- 4/15 of the flat
Step-by-step explanation:
For number 1:
- 3/4 ÷ 3 = 0.25
- 0.25 = 1/4
For number 2:
- 4/5 ÷ 3 = 4/15
I hope this helps!
Here is how you find the answer.
Do remember that the term Bisect means to cut it in half.
So here it goes.
<span>5x = 3x + 10
5x - 3x = 10
2x = 10
x = 5
Then, substitute the values, so 5*5 or 3*5+10
Then, the answer for each smaller angle is 25.
</span>Remember bisect? so 25 x 2 so the final answer is 50.
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. Thanks for posting your question!
