Answer:
18ft
Step-by-step explanation:
L = length
W = width
l = w + 2ft ; because the is 2 ft longer than width
The area of a rectangle is lw
You can take the first equation ( l = w + 2 ) and plug it in lw
like this: lw ---> (w+2)w = w^2+2w
then from the question you get: w^2+2w=19.25
you use the quadratic formula and get w = 3.5
then from the first equation, you get l = 3.5+ 2 so the length is 5.5
lastly, you use the perimeter formula: 2(l+w) so 2(9) = 18
so 18ft
Answer:
3 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
d=3t is our formula.
d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)
t is the time in minutes
Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:
9 = 3t
to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3
9/3 = 3t/3
3 = t
So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.
