Answer:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = L W

where A = 55 yard

           L = 3W - 4

find: Length

        width

solution:

A = L W

55 = (3W - 4) W

55 = 3W² - 4W

3W² - 4W - 55 = 0

use quadratic equation to solve for W:

W = <u> - (-4) ± √(-4)² - 4(3)-55 </u>

                    2(3)

W = 5,  W = -11/3

substitute W=5 to equation L = 3W - 4 to solve for L

L = 3W - 4

L = 3(5) - 4

L = 15 - 4

L = 11

therefore, the dimensions of a rectangle:

length = 11 yard

width =  5 yard

Which number produces an irrational number when multipled by 1/4
BabaBlast [244]

Answer: Any irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers where the denominator is different from zero, it is also characterized by the fact that its decimal expression is neither exact nor periodic.

As an example of this we have \pi = 3.141592653 ...

On the other hand, it is necessary to know the following:

-The multiplication of two rational numbers results in a rational number.

-The multiplication of a <u>rational number</u> by <u>any irrational number</u> results in an <u>irrational number.</u>

This means that if we multiply 1/4 (which is rational) by any irrational number, the result will be irrational.

Therefore, the answer is: Any irrational number.
