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

In graph, the area below f(x) is shaded and labeled A, the area below g(x) is shaded ad labeled B, and the area where f(x) and g
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The graph represents the system of inequalities y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure

∵ The direction of each line is to left

∴ The slopes of the lines are negative

∵ The slope of the line is the coefficient of x

∴ The coefficient of x in each inequality is negative ⇒ (1)

∵ The two lines intersect the y-axis at the point (0, 2)

∴ The y-intercept of the two lines is (0, 2)

∵ The y-intercept is the numerical term in the equation

∴ The numerical term in each inequality is 2 ⇒ (2)

∵ The two lines are solids

∵ The shaded area of each one is under the line

∴ The sign of inequality in both equations is ≤ ⇒ (3)

→ Look at the answer and find which one has the 3 conditions above

∵ y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2

∴ m = -3 and m = -1 ⇒ negative coefficients of x

∴ b = 2 ⇒ numerical term

∵ The sign of inequality is ≤

∴ The graph represents the system of inequalities y ≤ -3x + 2 and y ≤ -x + 2

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

  36 ft by 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to find dimensions of a rectangle such that the perimeter is 104 ft and the area is 576 ft. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is 52 ft.

The area is the product of length and width, so if w represents the width, we have ...

  w(52 -w) = 576

  w² -52w = -576 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, multiply by -1

  w² -52w +26² = 26² -576 . . . . . .  complete the square

  (w -26)² = 676 -576 = 100

  w = 26 ±√100 =  {16, 36}

If the width is the short dimension, it is 16 feet. Then the length is 36 feet.
