Given: A= 52ft² and l= 2w-5
know that formula for A= lw, substitute for what you know and solve for w
52=(2w-5)w -> w= -4, w=6.5 but because a width measurement can not be negative, you can eliminate w=-4. so the width is equal to 6.5ft
now input that in the equation for length and solve for l:
l=2w-5=2(6.5)-5=8 
so the length is 8 ft

In a survey 9/25 students ride the bus and 19/50 walk to school. What fraction of students ride the bus or walk?
san4es73 [151]
Well since 19/50 can't be simplified you have to double 9/25 which is 18/50 so then add 18 + 19 = 37 So 18/50 + 19/50 = 37/50 so 37/50 of the students ride the bus or walk to school.

If you place a 39-foot ladder against the top of a 23-foot building, how many feet will
Alborosie

Answer:

31.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 23² = 39²

Subtract 23² from both sides

a² = 39² - 23²

a² = 1521 - 529

a² = 992

Take the square root of both sides

a = 31.496031496

Rounded

a = 31.5 ft
