Answer: The length is 6 feet and the width is 10 feet.
Step-by-step explanation: The question has specified the area as 60 (square feet) and the length and width are yet unknown. However we know that the length is 4 feet less than the width. What this means is that, if the width is W, then the length is W - 4.
We can now write an equation for the area of the rectangle as follows;
Area = L x W
60 = (W - 4) x W
60 = W^2 - 4W
If we rearrange all terms on one side of the equation, we now have
W^2 - 4W - 60 = 0
This is a quadratic equation and by factorizing, we now have
(W + 6) (W - 10) = 0
Hence,
Either W + 6 = 0 and then W = -6
Or W - 10 = 0 and then W = 10
We know that the side of the rectangle cannot be a negative value, so we go with W = 10.
Having calculated W as 10, the length now becomes
L = W - 4
L = 10 - 4
L = 6
Therefore, length = 6 feet and width = 10 feet
8 + 11 = 40
there is a pattern. 1+4=5, the answer from the previous equation 5+2+5=12, 12+3+6=21, 21+8+11=40.
8+11=40
Answer:
38.9?? or 40??
Step-by-step explanation:
you put the base and the height together then multiply it by 2
The answer would be OC, most triangles, like right triangles have equivalent sides. 12, 12, 12in
(21 + 34 + x + 25 + 37 + 22) / 6 = 30
(139 + x) / 6 = 30 .....multiply both sides by 6
139 + x = 30 * 6
139 + x = 180
x = 180 - 139
x = 41......so during week 3, she rode her bike 41 miles
