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.

I really sorry I have to do this I'm in a test I need help
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.
Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.
Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h. Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14. theta is
0.365 radian. Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is
14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet. This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.
Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.
Answer:
the answer is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportional graph is a straight line that goes through the origin while a non-proportional graph is a straight line that doesn't go through the origin.
y = mx + b
the b represents the y-intercept, so -3 is the y-intercept in the equation y = 3x -3
therefore, the line doesn't go through the origin and is a non-proportional equation
