Vince has a rectangular rug in his room with an area of 10 ft the length of the rug is 18 inches longer than the width what coul

aev [14]

The length of the rug is 4 ft.

The width of the rug is 2.5 ft.

Explanation:

The area of the rug is 10 ft.

The length of the rug be l.

Let us convert the inches to feet.

Thus, $18 inches = 1.5 ft$

Thus, the length of the rug is $l=1.5+w$

Let the width of the rug be w.

Substituting these values in the formula of area of the rectangle, we get,

$A=length\times width$

$10=(1.5+w)(w)\\10=1.5w+w^2\\w^2+1.5w-10=0$

Solving the expression using the quadratic formula,

$w=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}$

Substituting the values, we have,

$$w=\frac{-15 \pm \sqrt{15^{2}-4 \cdot 10(-100)}}{2 \cdot 10}\\$

$w=\frac{-15 \pm \sqrt{4225}}{20}$

$w=\frac{-15 \pm 65}{2 0}$

Thus,

$w=\frac{-15 + 65}{2 0}\\w=\frac{50}{20} \\w=2.5$ and $w=\frac{-15 - 65}{2 0}\\w=\frac{-80}{20} \\w=-4$

Since, the value of w cannot be negative, the value of w is 2.5ft

Thus, the width of the rug is 2.5ft

Substituting $w=2.5$ in $l=1.5+w$ , we get,

$l=1.5+2.5\\l=4$

Thus, the length of the rug is 4 ft.

How many ways can the words in d-r-a-g-o-n-f-l-y be arranged

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

362880 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The word dragonfly has 9 different letters.

So, to find how many ways this word can be arranged, we just need to calculate the factorial of 9:

First letter has 9 possibilities

Second letter has 8 possibilities (one used)

Third letter has 7 possibilities (two used), and so on.

So the number of ways is:

9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362880 ways
