This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:

Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots
such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:


Thus a quadratic equation with 
Then


Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.

The -2 has a multiplicity of 2
Since the order of (x+2) is squared, i.e. power is 2
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:

Radius= diameter ÷2
r= 32 ÷2
r= 16

Substitute r= 16,


Divide the denominator and numerator by 128:

Thus, the answer is B.
The true statement about the circle with center P is that triangles QRP and STP are congruent, and the length of the minor arc is 11/20π
<h3>The circle with center P</h3>
Given that the circle has a center P
It means that lengths PQ, PR, PS and PT
From the question, we understand that QR = ST.
This implies that triangles QRP and STP are congruent.
i.e. △QRP ≅ △STP is true
<h3>The length of the minor arc</h3>
The given parameters are:
Angle, Ф = 99
Radius, r = 1
The length of the arc is:
L = Ф/360 * 2πr
So, we have:
L = 99/360 * 2π * 1
Evaluate
L = 198/360π
Divide
L = 11/20π
Hence, the length of the minor arc is 11/20π
