7 0

Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of a rectangle be x.

Width is 1 feet shorter than the length, b = x-1

The area of the rectangle is 12 sq feet.

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = length × width

So,

x(x-1)=12\\\\x^2-x-12=0\\\\x^2-4x+3x-12=0\\\\x(x-4)+3(x-4)=0\\\\(x+3)(x-4)=0\\\\x=-3\ and \ x=4

Neglecting the negative side, the length of the rectangle is equal to 4 feet.

I = sqrt(P/R)

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide both sides by R first

P/R = I^2 R/R

So,

I^2 = P/R

take the square root of both sides

I = sqrt(P/R)

ICE Princess25 [194]

Shawndra is correct

 

She made two statements, and both are true:

 

1. It is not possible to draw a trapezoid that is a rectangle.

This is true because a trapezoid<span> is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides, whereas a rectangle is a parallelogram (i.e. it has two pairs of parallel sides)</span>

 

2. It is possible to draw a square that is a rectangle.

This is true because a rectangle refers to any parallelogram with right angles. A square is also a parallelogram (has two pairs of opposite sides) with right angles. In fact, all squares are rectangles; only that they are a special kind of rectangle, where all the sides are equal in length.
