Answer: the length of the longer side of the slab is 33 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length(longer side) of the concrete slab.

Let W represent the width(shorter side) of the concrete slab.

The length of a concrete slab is three more than three times the width. This would be expressed as

L = 3W + 3

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = Length × Width

It's area is 330 square feet. This means that

LW = 330 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting L = 3W + 3 into equation 1, it becomes

W(3W + 3) = 330

3W² + 3W = 330

3W² + 3W - 330 = 0

Dividing through by 3, it becomes

W² + W - 110 = 0

W² + 11W - 10W - 110 = 0

W(W + 11) - 10(W + 11) = 0

W - 10 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 10 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 10

L = 3W + 3 = (3 × 10) + 3

L = 30 + 3 = 33

Answer:

Width: 10.5 feet

Length: 31.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent width of the concrete slab.

We have been given that the length of a concrete slab is three more than three times the width. So length of the slab would be 3x.

We are also told that the area of slab is 330 square feet. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x\cdot 3x=330

3x^2=330

x^2=\frac{330}{3}

x^2=110

Now, we will take square root of both sides.

\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{110}

x=10.488\approx 10.5

Therefore, the width of slab is approximately 10.5 feet.

The length of the slab would be 3x\Rightarrow3(10.5)=31.5.

Therefore, the length of slab is approximately 31.5 feet.

Solve using a proportion.
Advocard [28]

Answer:

t = 24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the trapezoids are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{t}{c} = \frac{u}{d}

Substitute in given values

\frac{t}{0.4} = \frac{15}{0.25} ( cross- multiply )

0.25t = 6 ( divide both sides by 0.25 )

t = 24

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

If their average is 6 and there are three numbers in total, the total sum of the three numbers would be:

6×3 = 18

You know that two of them is 6 and 7, so you can find the last number easily.

18-6-7 = 5
