The dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.

How to find the dimensions of the garden?</h3>
Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(L + W)
And the area is:
A = L*W
In this case, we know that the area is 8 square feet and the perimeter is 12 ft, then we have a system of equations:
12ft = 2*(L + W)
8ft² = L*W
To solve this, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, I will isolate L on the first one:
12ft/2 = L + W
6ft - W = L
Now we can replace that in the other equation to get:
8ft² = (6ft - W)*W
This is a quadratic equation:
-W^2 + 6ft*W - 8ft² = 0
The solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula:
Then we have two solutions:
W = (-6 - 2)/-2 = 4ft
W = (-6 + 2)/-2 = 2ft
If we take any of these solutions, the length will be equal to the other solution.
So the dimensions of the rectangle can be a length of 2ft and a width of 4ft.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 of the stones in Johnny's bowl are red and 5/6 of the stones are white.
The fraction of stones that are red or white is obtained by adding the fraction that are red with the fraction that are white. That is:
The fraction of the stones that are red or white is .
1. 5(5 + w) = 25 + 5w
2. 1.5(3 - 8c) = 4.5 - 12c
You simply use the distributive property to distribute the number outside of the parentheses to each term within the parentheses.
Answer:
it's A.
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically an open circle means < or >
a closed circle (the filled in one) means greater/least than or equal to
the sign > with an equal sign under it
hope this helps I forgot too for a minute lol
