Answer: The length is 15 yards so the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

If  the length is 3 more than the width  the we will represent it by the equation L = w+3    where w is the width and to find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length by the width. so the length is w+3 and the width is w so

w(w+3) = 180   solve for the w

w^2 + 3w = 180     subtract 180 from both sides

w^2 + 3w -180 = 0    find two numbers that their product is -180 and add to 3.

  the number 12 and -15 works out because -12*15= -180  and -15+ 12 =3

We will now have a new quadratic equation as

w^2 - 12w + 15w - 180 = 0  factor by grouping

w(w-12) 15(w-12)= 0     factor out w-12

(w-12)(w+15) = 0    set them both equal  zero.

w -12 = 0      or  w+15= 0  

w =  12      or  w = -15

Since we know that -15 can't represent a distance, then 12 is the width .  

So if we are to find the length and it gives us the information that the length is 3 yards more that the width then we will add 3 to the width to equal the length.

L= 12 +3

L = 15

(3x) + (x+60) = 180

4x + 60 = 180

Subtract 60 from both sides

4x = 120

Divide 4 from both sides

x = 30

???? i am confusion ????
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

<h2>x = 4.8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{x}{-12}=-0.4\qquad\text{multiply both sides by (-12)}\\\\-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{-12\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(-12)(-0.4)\\\\x=4.8

The equation of a circle whose center is at ( 4,0 ) and radius is length 2 ( square root ) 3
Vesna [10]
The equation of a circle:
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
(h,k) - the coordinates of the center
r - the radius

The center is (4,0), the length of the radius is 2√3.
(x-4)^2+(y-0)^2=(2\sqrt{3})^2 \\&#10;\boxed{(x-4)^2+y^2=12}
