Our equation for the area of a rectangle is l x w = A (length times width equals area)
We know that l=w+20 so we can plug this into our equation.
It is now, (w+20) x w =800
We can then solve for w
w^2 +20w =800
We can subtract 800 on each side to get
w^2 +20w - 800 =0
We then factor to get
(w-20)(w+40)=0
This gives us w =20 and w = -40
Width cannot be negative so our width will be 20 feet
Since our length is 20 more than this, then our length will be 40feet
So the dimensions of the rectangle are 20 ft wide by 40 ft long

MATH.... TRIANGLE JKL HAS VERTICES...
7nadin3 [17]
<h3>Answer: Choice (d)</h3>

Explanation:

To reflect over the y axis, we apply this rule

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

which says to flip the sign of the x term but keep the y coordinate the same.

So that means something like J(-2,5) becomes J ' (2, 5). The other points are handled in the same fashion and that leads us to choice (d). Points on the y axis will stay where they are.
