The area of the square is 4
and the area of the triangle is 2
4+2=6
the area is 6
<u>well 8 divided by 4 is 2 and 11-8+2 is 5 and 5 times 4 is 20 so 20 is the answer
</u>
Are you saying that $1050 was the initial amount of money in the savings account? If so then you'd find 84% of 1050, which is 1050*.84. (.84 is the decimal version of 84%)
You can write two equations using the given information:
.. L = W +8
.. L * W = 609
Using substitution, you get a quadratic.
.. (W +8) * W = 609
.. W^2 +8W -609 = 0
Not surprisingly, you're looking for factors of 609 that differ by 8.
.. 609 = 1*609 = 3*203 = 7*87 = 21*29
The last two are the factors of interest.
.. (W +29)(W -21) = 0
The width of the rectangle is 21 feet, the length is 29 feet.

Sometimes it is easier to work with the average dimension. Here, let that be x. Then you have
.. (x +4)(x -4) = 609
.. x^2 -16 = 609
.. x^2 = 625 = 25^2 . . . . . . . one of your memorized math facts
So, the dimensions are
.. 25 +4 = 29 by 25 -4 = 21, that is, 29 ft by 21 ft.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a₂ = 9
a₃ = a₂-1.5
a₄ = a₃-1.5
a₅ = a₄-1.5
etc.
The terms have a common difference of -1.5, so the sequence is arithmetic.
