Answer:

width=6cm, lenth is 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle be x cm

Twice width=2x cm

length=2x-5 cm

Area of the rectangle= L× W =42cm²

(2x-5) × x =42

x(2x-5)=42

2x²-5x-42=0

solving the quadratic equation

x=6cm

width=6cm

length= (2×6)- 5 =7cm

Use 3.14 for pi. ROUND YOUR FINAL ANSWER TO THE NEAREST TENTHS PLACE!
Natasha2012 [34]

The area of the given circle is 95 square ft.

Calculation for the Area of the Circle:

It is given in the diagram that,

The diameter of the circle, d = 11 ft.

Now, we know that the radius of a circle is equal to half of the diameter.

Therefore, radius of the given circle, r = 11/2 ft.

The formula for the area of the circle is given as follows,

A = π × r²

Substituting the values, π = 3.1, and r = 11/2, we get,

A = (3.14) × (11/2)²

A =  (3.14) × 30.25

A = 94.985

A ≈ 95

Hence, the area of the given circle with diameter 11 ft. comes out to be 95 ft².
