A = L * W
A = 70

70 = L * W

P = 2(L + W)
P = 34

34 = 2(L + W)
34/2 = L + W
17 = L + W
17 - W = L

70 = L * W
L = 17 - W

70 = W(17 - W)
70 = -W^2 + 17W
W^2 - 17W + 70 = 0
(W - 10)(W - 7) = 0

W - 10 = 0        L = 17 - 10
W = 10              L = 7

W - 7 = 0          L = 17 - 7
W = 7               L = 10

so either the width is 10 meters and the length is 7 meters OR the width is 7 meters and the length is 10 meters

Mila [183]

Answer:

$560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P= $500

Interest rate, r = 12% per year

Amount in account after 1 year

Time = 1 year

Using the relation :

A = P(1 + rt)

A = final amount in account

A = $500(1 + 0.12(1))

A = $500(1 + 0.12)

A = $500(1.12)

A = $560
