Let wedth = x
Length = 2x+3
Area = 54
Area = l X b
54= (2x + 3) X x
54 = 2 x² + 3x
The equation will be:
2 x² + 3x - 54
2 x² + 12x -9x - 54
2x (x+6) -9(x + 6)
(2x-9) (x+6)
We will use (2x-9)
2x-9= 0
2x = 9
x = 9/2
x = 4.5

Width = 4.5
Length = (2x +3)
Length = (2X 4.5 + 3)
Length = 9.0 + 3 = 12

Answer: Let length = 2x + 3

Let width = x

Area = 54 ft2

length × width = Area

x(2x + 3) = 54

2x2 + 3x = 54

2x2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(2x - 9)(x + 6) = 0

x = 9/2 and x = -6

x = 4.5 and x = -6

We accept x = 4.5 because length cannot be a negative value. Substituting this value into the dimensions:

width = 4.5 ft

length = 2(4.5) + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 ft

Polygon ABCD is dilated, rotated, and translated to form polygon A′B′C′D′. The endpoints of AB are at (0, -7) and (8, 8), and th
Anton [14]

Rotation and translation are rigid transformations, they don't change figure sizes. Dilation change figure sizes increasing or decreasing them by scale factor.

First, find AB and A'B' by the formula:

AB=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}= \sqrt{(8-0)^2+(8-(-7))^2}=\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=\sqrt{64+225}=\sqrt{289}=17,\\ \\A'B'=\sqrt{(x_{B'}-x_{A'})^2+(y_{B'}-y_{A'})^2}= \sqrt{(2-6)^2+(1.5-(-6))^2}=\sqrt{4^2+7.5^2}=\sqrt{16+56.25}=\sqrt{72.25}=8.5.

As you can see AB=2A'B'. This means that the segment AB was decreased twice to form segment A'B'. Then the scale factor is 1/2.
