A rectangle and a square have the same area. a. The width of the rectangle is w inches. The length of the rectangle is 15 inches

less than 4 times the width of the rectangle. Write a polynomial to represent the area of the rectangle. b. The side of the square is w inches. Write a polynomial to represent the area of the square. c. Write an equation such that the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the square. d. Solve the equation in part (c) to find the side length of the square. e. What are the length and the width of the rectangle?

Answer:

  a) w(4w-15)

  b) w²

  c) w(4w -15) = w²

  d) w = 5

  e) 5 by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If w is the width, and the length is 15 less than 4 times the width, then the length is 4w-15. The area is the product of length and width.

  A = w(4w -15)

__

b) If w is the side length, the area of the square is (also) the product of length and width:

  A = w²

__

c) Equating the expressions for area, we have ...

  w(4w -15) = w²

__

d) we can subtract the right side to get ...

  4w² -15w -w² = 0

  3w(w -5) = 0

This has solutions w=0 and w=5. Only the positive solution is sensible in this problem.

The side length of the square is 5 units.

__

e) The rectangle is 5 units wide, and 4(5)-15 = 5 units long.

The rectangle and square have the same width and the same area, so the rectangle must be a square.

Last season, your
Katarina [22]

Answer:

55%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent change formula is written like this:

|\frac{change - original }{original}|. In this scenario, the "change" or new value is 31, because it is this season, and the original is last season. Now, 31-20 = 11, and 11/20 = 55%.

Which ordered pair makes both inequalities true?
Tatiana [17]

The ordered pair which makes both inequalities true is: D. (3, 0).

<h3>How to determine ordered pair?</h3>

In Mathematics, an inequality can be used to show the relationship between two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation.

In order to determine ordered pair which makes both inequalities true, we would substitute the points into the inequalities as follows:

At (0, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(0) + 3

0 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

0 < 0 - 2

0 < -2 (false)

At (0, -1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

-1 > -2(0) + 3

-1 > 3 (false).

y < x – 2

-1 < 0 - 2

-1 < -2 (false)

At (1, 1), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

1 > -2(1) + 3

1 > -1 (true).

y < x – 2

1 < 1 - 2

1 < -1 (false)

At (3, 0), we have:

y > -2x + 3  

0 > -2(3) + 3

0 > -3 (true).

y < x – 2

0 < 3 - 2

0 < 1 (true).
