The area of a rectangle is A=LW, the area of a square is A=S^2.
W=S-2 and L=2S-3
And we are told that the areas of each figure are the same.
S^2=LW, using L and W found above we have:
S^2=(2S-3)(S-2) perform indicated multiplication on right side
S^2=2S^2-4S-3S+6 combine like terms on right side
S^2=2S^2-7S+6 subtract S^2 from both sides
S^2-7S+6=0 factor:
S^2-S-6S+6=0
S(S-1)-6(S-1)=0
(S-6)(S-1)=0, since W=S-2, and W>0, S>2 so:
S=6 is the only valid value for S. Now we can find the dimensions of the rectangle...
W=S-2 and L=2S-3 given that S=6 in
W=4 in and L=9 in
So the width of the rectangle is 4 inches and the length of the rectangle is 9 inches.
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The associative property of addition states that numbers can be added together regardless of how they are grouped.
Answer A shows a property of multiplication.
Answer B shows the additive identity property.
Answer C shows the commutative property.
However, answer D shows that the numbers can be added regardless of how they are grouped.
Answer:
out of the entire piece 160/200 is shaded, after simplifying it should be 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
count the total, in this case 200 blocks
then count the shaded area, 160
160/200 --> after simplifying --> 4/5
Answer:
$8
Step-by-step explanation:
24 divided by 3 is 8. So $8 per movie ticket
Would simply divide 79.44 by 4
79.44/4= 19.86
