Answer: Length = 28 feet and width = 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of the wall.

Then, Length of the wall =  10+2x

Since , Area of rectangle = length x width

Then, as per given,

252= (10+2x)x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 252=10x+2x^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x^2+10x-252=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+5x-126=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+14x-9x-126=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x+14)-9(x+14)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (x+14)(x-9)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=-14 \ or \ x= 9

Since width cannot be negative , so x = 9

So width = 9 feet and length = 10+2(9)=10+18 = 28 feet

Hence, length is 28 feet and width is 9 feet of the wall of the barn.

name the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units use only whole numbers
AysviL [449]
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(w+l)
We can find the lengths by setting the equation equal to 12.
12=2(w+l)
12÷2=(2(w+l))÷2
6=w+l
6=1+5
6=2+4
6=3+3
These are the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units.
You're probably wondering why the third one has two of the same number, because that's usually how the lengths of sides of squares are, not rectangles.
Well, there's this wonderful thing about the rules of shapes.
<em>Squares ARE rectangles.
</em>Because they follow the rules for a rectangle, squares are also classified as rectangles.
So, the rectangle side lengths are as follows:
1 unit by 5 units
2 units by 4 units
3 units by 3 units

Kari is adding a ribbon border to the edge of her kite. Two sides of the kite measure 9.5 inches each, and the other two sides m
Softa [21]
17.8 multiplied by 2 is 35.6
9.5 multiplied by 2 is 19
Now you take both of them and add them together.
35.6 + 19 = 54.6 

Your answer should be 54.6 inches of ribbon.

Hope this helps.
