Width = W

Length = 2 times the width plus 3 feet = 2W + 3

Area of triangle A = L * W

A = W (2W + 3)

20 = 2W^2 + 3W

2W^2 + 3W - 20 = 0

(W + 4) (2W - 5) = 0

W + 4 = 0; W = - 4 (width cannot be negative, excluded)

2W - 5 = 0

2W = 5

W = 2.5

L = 2W + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8

Answer:

Width = 2.5 feet and Length = 8 feet

Hope it helps.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{11 km/h}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The situation after 15 min:

(a) Distance travelled by simulated biker:

15 min =¼ h

$\text{Distance} = \dfrac{1}{4}\text{ h} \times \dfrac{\text{20 km}}{\text{1 h}} = \text{5 km}$

(b) Distance travelled by Julian

Julian is 2¼ km behind the biker. The distance he has travelled is (5 - 2¼) km

5 - 2¼ = 5 - ⁹/₄ = ²⁰/₄ - ⁹/₄ = ¹¹/₄ = 2¾

Julian has travelled 2¾ km in ¼ h.

2. Julian's average speed

$\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \dfrac{2\frac{3}{4}\text{ km}}{\frac{1}{4}\text{ h}} =\dfrac{11}{4}\text{ km}\times \dfrac{4}{\text{1 h}} = \textbf{11 km/h}\\\\\text{Julian's average speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11 km/h}}$}$
