Below is an image of the table cloth with its measurements
The formula for Area is:
A = length x height
The length of this shape is 8 feet
The height of this shape is 4 feet
so...
A = 8 x 4
A = 32
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x−9)=4(9+1/3x).
Divide each side by 4
(x−9)=(9+1/3x)
Subtract 1/3 x from each side
x - 1/3x -9 = 9+1/3x -1/3x
2/3x -9 = 9
Add 9 to each side
2/3x -9+9 = 9+9
2/3x = 18
Multiply each side by 3/2
3/2 * 2/3x = 18*3/2
x = 27
P is the independent variable and b is the dependent variable
The area of the blanket - 24 ft²
length being longer than the width means that blanket is a rectangle
width of the blanket = x
length of blanket = x +2
area = length * width
area = x * (x+2)
= x² + 2x
since area = 24
x² + 2x = 24
x² + 2x - 24 = 0
we have a quadratic equation and we need to now solve for x
x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
x (x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = 0
(x-4) (x+6) = 0
x-4 = 0 or x + 6 = 0
x = 4 or x = -6
x could be either 4 or -6. since dimensions cannot have negative values,
x ≠ -6
therefore x = 4
width = 4 ft
length = 6 ft
