Answer:
The answer to your question is: length = 14 ft; width = 3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Area = 42 ft²
length = 8 + 2w
w = width = ?
length = ?
Formula
Area = length x width = l x w
Substitution
42 = (2w + 8)w
42 = 2w² + 8w
2w² + 8w - 42 = 0
Dividing by 2
w² + 4w - 21 = 0 Factorize
(w + 7) (w - 3) = 0
w1 = -7 w2 = 3
It's not possible to have negative widths
So the answer is w = 3 ft
length = 2(3) + 8
length = 6 + 8
length = 14 ft
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Joint variation means that w=kxy where k is constant.
Finding k:
12=k*2*18
12=36k
k=1/3
Now plug in second set of values
16= 1/3*6*y
16=2*y
y=8
Final answer: 8
