Answer:

length : 10 yard

width: 14  yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the yard.

Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.

With width x length=area,

l (2l -6) = 140

2l^2 - 6l = 140

2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0

Using the quadratic formula,

we can determine l = 10 or -7

since the length should not be negative,

the length is 10 yard.

Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.

width = 2(10)-6

= 14 yard

Answer:

m<A = 70 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 deg. Add the three measures and set equal to 180. Solve for x. then use the value of x and the expression for m<A to find the measure of angle A.

m<A + m<B + m<C = 180

5x - 25 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 5 = 180

10x - 10 = 180

10x = 190

x = 19

m<A = 5x - 25 = 5(19) - 25 = 95 - 25 = 70

Answer: m<A = 70 deg
