L=Length of the rectangular patio

A=Area of the rectangular patio

W=Width of the rectangular patio

f=foot

------------------------------------

L=25/2f

A=(103+1/8)f²=(824/8+1/8)f²=825/8f²

-----------------------------

Now, A=L*W=825/8f²

-------------------------------

<em>USE BODMAS</em>

Therefore:

25/2fW=825/8f²

So...

W=(825/8f²)/(25/2f)

=33/4f

You just do the area divided by the length, and you get the width, or area divided by width to get the length for future notice. 103 1/8 divided by 12 1/2 might not be 8 1/4! :D

The law of an object moving with constant acceleration is

$s(t)=s_0+v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Where $s$ is space, $t$ is time, $s_0$ is the initial position, $v_0$ is the initial velocity and $a$ is the acceleration.

In this case, if we choose a reference grid with the vertical axis pointing upwards, the acceleration of gravity will point downwards (and thus be negative). The initial position is zero, because the rocket is on the ground, and the initial velocity is 100 (positive because pointing upwards).

So, its law is

$h(t)=100t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

(I changed $s$ for $h$ since the rocket is moving vertically, so its position is actually its height. Also, g is the acceleration due to gravity).

The rocket hits the ground if its height is zero, so if we set $h=0$ we have

$0=100t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2 \iff t(100-\dfrac{1}{2}gt)=0$

Solving for t, we have either t=0, or

$100-\dfrac{1}{2}gt=0 \iff 100=\dfrac{1}{2}gt \iff 200=gt \iff t=\dfrac{200}{g}$

The solution t=0 means that at the beginning the rocket is on the ground. So, we're interested in the other solution. Considering that g is about 32.2 feet/s^2, we have

$t=\dfrac{200}{g}\approx \dfrac{200}{32.2}\approx 6.21$
