Answer:
x = 4.0 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle is given by
lw = A
11.8x = 47.6
Divide each side by 11.8
11.8x/11.8 = 47.6/11.8
x =4.033898305
To the nearest tenth
x = 4.0
algebraic equation; 11.8x = 47.6
width = 4.0
solve the algebraic equation to get x, the width.
divide both sides by 11.8 and you will get 4.0338.....
round off to nearest tenths to remain with 4.0
4 3/12
= 4.25 = 4 1/4 = 4 3/12
Use Pythagoras Theorem.
Hope this helps.
