Answer:

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

L = W+17

area = LW = 234

(W+17)W = 234

W²+17W-234 = 0

Quadratic formula

W = [-17 ± √(17² – 4·1(-234))] / [2·1]

 = [-17 ± √1225] / 2

 = [-17 ± 35] /2

 = -26, 9

-26 is an extraneous solution

W = 9

L = W+17 = 26

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

What digits makes 3,71? Divisible by 3 (connections academy unit test)
wlad13 [49]

Since we know that a number is divisible by 3 if the sum of all digits is divisible by 3.

Let us check which digits will make 371? divisible by 3.

3+7+1+0=11

11 is not divisible by 3.

Now let us check other digits as well.

3+7+1+1=12

12 is divisible by 3.

3+7+1+4=15

15 is also divisible by 3.

3+7+1+7=18

18 is divisible by 3 as well.

Therefore, 1, 4 and 7 in tenth place will make our number divisible by 3 and our numbers will be 3711, 3714 and 3717.
