Answer:

Length: 17 yards

Width: 15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

If the length is 2 yards longer than the width, then the width is w, and the length is w+2

Equation for perimeter is P =2l+2w, where:

P = Perimeter

l = length

w = width

Plug in the values:

64 = 2(w+2) + 2w

Distribute:

64 = 2w + 4 + 2w

Combine like terms:

64 = 4w + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides:

60 = 4w

Divide 4 from both sides:

15 = w

So if w = 15, then

Width = w, which is 15 yards.

Length = w+2, which is 15+2 = 17 yards.

Hope this answer helped! :)

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department received 58,000 liters f
SashulF [63]

Answer:

52,000 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the Bottling Department completed 56,000 liters, but this is not the total amount of production started and completed, because there are 4,000 liters that are equivalent to work-in-process. In other words, those 4,000 liters equals a partially finished product that is awaiting further processing.

Because we want to know what the final finished product is, we simply subtract these 4000 liters.

Mathematically:

L = 56,000 - 4,000

L = 52,000

Solve the polynomial inequation and graph the solution set on a number line. Express the solution in interval notation.
kirill [66]
Solving a polynomial inequation

Solving the following inequation:

(x - 8) (x + 1) > 0

We are going to find the sign both parts of the multiplication,

(x - 8) and (x + 1), have when

x < - 8

-8 < x < 1

1 < x

Then we know (x - 8) (x + 1) > 0 whenever (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive

We can see in the figure (x - 8) (x + 1) is positive when x < -8 and x > 1

Then

The distance around a circular park is 176 yards. What is the area of the park? Use 22/7 for π.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

2464 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the circle circumference formula: 2πr

2·\frac{22}{7}·r=176

\frac{44}{7}r=176

r=176·\frac{7}{44}

r=28

Area of circle formula: πr²

\frac{22}{7}·r²

\frac{22}{7}·28²

\frac{22}{7}·784

=2464 yd²
