A rectangular lawn has an area of 140 square yards. Its width is 6 yards less

Mathematics

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

Height of window 0.6 feet less than 2.5 times it width height of window 4.9 feet
AURORKA [14]
Suggest you use some punctuation here:  "The h<span>eight of window is 0.6 feet less than 2.5 times it width.  The height of window  is 4.9 feet.  Find the width of the window."

height of window = 4.9 feet = 2.5(width) - 0.6 feet.

simplify this equation by adding 0.6 feet to both sides of the equation:

4.9 feet + 0.6 feet = 2.5 (width); find width:

5.5 feet = 2.5 (width)

Dividing both sides of this equation by 2.5 will result in an equation for the width of the window, in feet.</span>
