11 3/8 would be the simplified version and 91/8 would be the other way.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9.013 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is length x width.
Let the width = x
The length would be x +7. ( 7 inches longer than the width)
Area = 20
Set up the formula:
20 = x * x+7
Simplify the right side:
20 = x^2 + 7x
Subtract 29 from both sides:
X^2 + 7x -20 = 0
Solve using the quadratic equation
X = -b + sqrt(b^2 -4ac) / 2a
X = -7 + sqrt(7^2-4(1)(-20) / 2(1) (exact answer)
X = 2.178908 ( as a decimal)
The width is 2.178907 inches (round as needed)
The length would be 9.178907 inches ( round as needed.)
Depending on how you round, when you multiply them together you get approximately 20 square inches.
Here's the equation,please do ask if you don't understand. Sorry for my terrible hand writing ^^; hope it helps!
