This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots 
such that 
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:
Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then
Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

Answer:
slope = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of three or more points are said to be collinear if they all lie on the same straight line.
We have been given the following collinear set of points;
P(0, 3), Q(2, 0), R(4, -3)
This implies that P, Q, and R lie on the same line.
The slope of a line is defined as; (change in y)/(change in x)
Using the points P and Q, the slope of the line is calculated as;
(0-3)/(2-0) = -3/2 = -1.5
Like earlier take the bigger shape and divide the smaller one.
8.4 divide by 4 and you get 2.1.
Answer:
4) reflexive property of congruence
5) SAS theorem
6) property of Congruent triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In ΔXYZ, line YW ⊥ XZ
Also XW≅ZW
Now
4) by reflexive property of congruence that states that any line,object or figure is congruent to itself
hence YW≅YW
5) By SAS theorem that states that if the two corresponding sides and the angle between those sides of two triangles are congruent then the two triangles are said to be congruent.
Hence ΔWXY≅ΔWZY
6) By property of Congruent triangles that states that if two triangles are congruent then their corresponding sides are also congruent.
Hence XY≅ZY !
