Answer:

Length=x+2

Width=2x-1

Area of garden =length×width

88sq.ft=2x-1 × x+2

88sq ft=2x^2+3x-2

2x^2+3x-2=88

2x^2+3x-2-88=0

2x^2+3x-90=0

2x^2+(15x-12x)-90=0

x(2x+15)-6(2x+15)=0

(x-6)(2x+15)=0

x-6=0

x=6 eq.1

2x+15=0

2x=-15(since length cant come in negative so it would not be the value of x)

Since x=6 according to eq. 1 ,therefore

Length =x+2

Length=6+2

Length=8..

Find the area of the parallelogram shown below and choose the appropriate result.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile² ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a parallelogram is A = b1 × h1 = b2 × h2, where

b1 and b2 are two adjacent sides of it

h1 and h2 are the heights perpendicular to these bases

In the given figure

∵ There is a parallelogram

∵ One of its bases is 0.25 mile

∴ b1 = 0.25 mile

∵ the height of this base is 0.75 mile

∴ h1 = 0.75 mile

→ By using the rule of the area above

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.25 × 0.75

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.1875 mile²

∴ The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile²

The ratio of fiction to nonfiction books in a classroom library is 2 to 3 . If there are 24 books nonfiction books in the classr

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of fiction to nonfiction books in a classroom library is 2 to 3, then the total ratio of both books will be 2+3 = 5. If there are 24 books non fiction books in the library, to get the amount of fictionbooks that are there we will follow the following steps.

First we will calculate the total number of books in the shelf;

3/5 * Total number of books = total non fiction books

3/5 * Total number of books = 24

3*Total number of books = 5*24

3*Total number of books = 120

Total number of books = 120/3

Total number of books = 40

Therefore there are 40 total of books on the shelf.

Total number of fiction books = 2/5 * 40

Total number of fiction books = 2* 8

Total number of fiction books = 16 books

<em>Hence there are 16 fiction books on the shelf.</em>
