Answer:

L = 18 and w = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is 2 more than the width or 2 + w and the width is w, substitute these values and A = 288 to solve for w.

A = l*w\\288 = w(2+w)\\288 = w^2 + 2w

To solve for w, move 288 to the other side by subtraction. Then factor and solve.

w^2 + 2w  - 288 = 0 \\(w +18)(w-16) = 0\\

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

w - 16 = 0 so w = 16

w + 18 = 0 so w = -18

Since w is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then w = 16 is the width of the rectangle.

This means the length is 16 + 2 = 18.

There are 34 Pre-K children and 29 kinder garden children on the playground, some boys and some girls. The ratio of boys to girl
Natali [406]

There are 27 boys on the playground.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of Pre-K children = 34

No. of kindergarten children = 29

Total no of children = 29+34 = 63

Ratio of boys to girls = 3:4

Total ratio = 3+4 = 7

Therefore,

boys proportion = \frac{3}{7}

Total number of boys = \frac{3}{7}\ of\ total\ number\ of\ children

Total\ number\ of\ boys = \frac{3}{7} *63\\Total\ number\ of\ boys = \frac{189}{7} \\Total\ number\ of\ boys = 27

There are 27 boys on the playground.

The scale of a map is 6 km = 4 mi. What is the length on the map if the actual is 40.1<br> miles.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

60.15 km

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 km on the map represents 4 mi on land, then we'd get the answer by using the relation

6 km -> 4 mi

x km -> 40.1 mi

Where x km is the length on the map we're looking for. If we cross multiply

6 * 40.1 = 4x

240.6 = 4x

x = 240.6/4

x = 60.15 km.

That is the length we're looking for
