The length of my rectangular garden is 1 foot more than twice its width. The area of my garden is 55 square feet. What are the d

imensions of my garden?
Mathematics

loris [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Width = 5

Length = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Width, = x

Length = 2x + 1

Area of rectangular garden is given as 55 ft²

Area of a rectangular garden, A = Length * width

Hence,

x * (2x + 1) = 55

2x² + x = 55

2x² + x - 55 = 0

Using the quadratic equation formula :

a = 2 ; b = 1, c = - 55

-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac) / 2a

Using the quadratic equation solver to save computation time :

The roots are :

-5.5 and 5

Dimension can't be negative ; so x = 5

Hence,

width, x = 5

Length, 2x + 1 = 2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

Hence,

Width = 5

Length = 11

What is 50.24 rounded to the nearest tenth
NARA [144]
50.24 rounded to the nearest tenth is 50.2
Since the 4 is less than 5, it can't round the 2 up to 3. The 2 would stay the same.

In ΔPQR, what is the m∠Q?.
charle [14.2K]

The sum of the 3 inside angles of a triangle needs to equal 180:

11x-5 + 6x + 5 + c = 180

Combine like terms:

18x = 180

Divide both sides by 18:

X = 10

Solve for Q:

11x -5= 11(10) -5 = 110-5 = 105 degrees

The mean of 100 observation is found to be 40. If at the time of compution two items were wrongly taken as 30 and 27 instead of
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

40.18

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this question, the mean of 100 observation is found to be 40. This means that the number of values in the set of data is 100. However, at the time of computation two items were wrongly taken as 30 and 27 instead of 3 and 72.

The mean is derived by dividing the sum of values in the data (Σx) by the number of observations (n) i.e.

Mean = Σx/n

For the computation error:

Mean = 40

Let x represent the sun of other 98 values except 30 and 27

n = 100

40 = x + 30 + 27/100

40 = 57 + x/100

Cross multiply

4000 = 57 + x

x = 4000 - 57

x = 3943.

Sum of other 98 values = 3943.

Now, let's find the correct mean with correct values of 3 and 72;

Mean = Σx/n

Mean = 3943 + 3 + 72/100

Mean = 4018/100

Mean = 40.18

PLEASE HELP!!!!<br><br> f(x)= {____for____<br> {____for____
hammer [34]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}3&\text{for}&-5\le x < 0\\1-x&\text{for}&0

Step-by-step explanation:

The left section is defined at x = -5, but not at x = 0, so the interval for that definition is -5 ≤ x < 0. The function value on that interval is constant: 3.

The right section is defined a x = 5, but not at x = 0, so the interval for that definition is 0 < x ≤ 5. That section is a straight line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 1. The function value on that interval can be written -x+1.

Then the piecewise definition is ...

  f(x) = {3, for -5 ≤ x < 0; -x+1, for 0 < x ≤ 5}
