Hey there! :)
Answer:
Length = 24 meters.
Width = 8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that to find the area of a rectangle, the formula is as shown:
A = l × w
In this case, the length is 3 times the length of the width, or 3 : 1.
Let w = width, and
3w = length.
Find the value of w by plugging in these values into the equation:
192 = 3w · w
192 = 3w²
Divide both sides by 3:
64 = w²
Square root both sides:
w = 8 meters. This is the width.
The length is equivalent to 3w, so:
3(8) = 24 meters.
Answer:
40x30= 1200, 20x15=300, 300/1200= 1/4.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can also visualize it. Imagine a field 40’ long and the boy cut the top 20’ of it but left 20’ of the bottom, he would have cut half of it at this point. Now it’s 30’ wide and he cut the left 15’ of what’s remaining but left the right 15’ uncut. So now there’s a 20’x15’ bottom right corner left uncut. There are 4 sections that are 20’x15’ and he left one out of four uncut, otherwise written as 1/4.
Endpoint T would be at the coordinates (4, -11)
