X=length
y=width
Area (rectangle)=length x width
we suggest this system of equations:
y=x/5
xy=9/20
solve this system of equations by substitution method:
x(x/5)=9/20
x²/5=9/20
Least common multiple=20
4x²=9
x²=9/4
x=⁺₋√(9/4)
we have two solutions:
x₁=-3/2 it does not validate
x₂=3/2 ⇒y=x/5=(3/2)/5=3/10
The dimensions of the lake are:
lengh=3/2 miles
width=3/10 miles
to check:
Area=3/2 miles x 3/10 miles=9/20 miles².
width is 1/5 the length of the lake ⇒ 3/10 miles=(3/2) /5 miles
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
its kinda obvious
Answer:
The area is 35 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You will need to cut the shape into 3 parts
the 3 by 3
2 by 5
and 4 by 4
after that you multiply the numbers to get the area of the 3 parts.
The final step is to add them all up
