Answer:

l = 7 in; w = 3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is

A = lw

Data:

A = 21 in²

l = w + 4

Calculation:

                 21 = (w + 4) × w

                 21 = w² + 4w

w² + 4w - 21 = 0

(w + 7)(w - 3) = 0

w + 7 = 0     w - 3 = 0

      w = -7         w = 3

We reject the negative value, so w = 3 in.

21 = l × 3

l = 7

The rectangle is 7 in long and 3 in wide.

Answer:

If I'm correct, the answer should be  negative 40/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you first combine multiplied terms into a single fraction, then you multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators. Now you simplify it, by canceling multiplied terms that are in the denominator and then you multiply the numbers. Now you will divide both sides of the equation by the same term. Finally, you will simplify the equation.

(Hope this helps) I had to get a little help myself on this problem)

Marcia is 1.5 meters tall. she casts a shadow that is 2 meters long. a nearby building casts a shadow that is 24 meters long. ho
ankoles [38]
Ratio and proportion

height:shadow=1.5:2

for the building, shadow=24

1.5:2=h:24
1.5/2=h/24
multiply both sides by 24
36/2=h
18=h
the building is 18 meters
