Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w in

Length = w + 5 in

Area of rectangle = 150 square inches

length * width = 150

(w +5) * w  = 150

w*w + w*5 = 150

w² + 5w -150 = 0

Sum = 5

Product = -150

Factors = 15 , -10

w² + 5w - 150 = 0

w² + 15w - 10w - 10*15 = 0

w(w + 15) - 10(w - 15) =0

(w + 15)(w -10)= 0

Ignore w +15 because measurement won't come in negative

Therefore, w - 10 = 0

                    w = 10 inches

length = w + 5 = 10 +5 = 15 inches

Length = 15 inches

Width = 10 inches

Answer:

Width: 10 inches

Length: 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w.

Since the length is 5 inches longer than its width, the length = w +5.

Area of rectangle = length x width

w (w +5) = 150

w^2 + 5w = 150

w^2 + 5w -150 = 0

Using quadratic formula,

w = 10 or -15

Since the width cannot be negative,

the width is 10 inches.

Now just substitute w=10 into length = w +5.

length = 10 + 5

= 15 inches

What is the common ratio of 2, 10/3, 50/9
mojhsa [17]

The common ratio of 2, 10/3, 50/9 is \frac{10}{6}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, series of elements are 2, \frac{10}{3}, \frac{50}{9}

We have to find the common ratio of the above given series.

We know that, common ratio of an G.P is division of any number in that series with the previous number of the series.

So, now take \frac{10}{3} and 2

\text { Then, common ratio }=\frac{\frac{10}{3}}{2}

\begin{array}{l}{\text { Common ratio }=\frac{10}{3} \times \frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\text { Common ratio }=\frac{10}{3 \times 2}=\frac{10}{6}}\end{array}

Hence, the common ratio of the given series is \frac{10}{6}
