Answer:

3 ft by 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the area as 24 square feet which means that

L×w= 24....eqn(1)

We were given the perimeter as 22 square feet which means that

22= 2(L +w).......eqn(2)

If we divide both cause by 2 in eqn(2) we have

11= L+ w .....eqn(3)

W= 11-L.........eqn(4)

Substitute eqn(4 into eqn(1)

L× (11-L)=24

-L^2 +11L-24=0

If we factorize

(L-8)(L-3)

L=3 or 8

From eqn4)

W=11-L

At L=3

W=11-3=8

Hence, the dimension is 3 ft by 8 ft

eduard

Answer:

809.4cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Systematic error = 3.8cm (The measured length is always more than the actual length.)

Most probable dimension :

Width = 85.7 cm

Length = 123.5 cm

Hence most probable area of Rectangle :

Area = Length × Width

Area = 85.7cm × 123.5cm = 10583.95 cm²

Dimension due to Systematic error :

Length = (85.7cm + 3.8cm) = 89.5cm

Width = (123.5cm + 3.8cm) = 127.3cm

Area = Length × width

Area = ( 89.5cm × 127.3) = 11393.35cm²

Systematic error of the area :

value of area with Systematic error - Probable value of area :

11393.35cm² - 10583.95 cm² = 809.4cm²

What are the values of v and w?
telo118 [61]
W is 61 because both sides are the same, the two lower angles are the same.

Then 3 angles equal 180.

61 + 61 + v = 180

122 + v = 180 (subtract 122)

V = 58
