Answer:
4.5/2 which is 2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
A milliliter is a thousandth of a liter. 1,000 milliliters (mL) are in a liter. So, multiply 0.1 by a thousand to find the answer. The answer is 100.
Let 
be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce 
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
Width = W
Length = 2 times the width plus 3 feet = 2W + 3
Area of triangle A = L * W
A = W (2W + 3)
20 = 2W^2 + 3W
2W^2 + 3W - 20 = 0
(W + 4) (2W - 5) = 0
W + 4 = 0; W = - 4 (width cannot be negative, excluded)
2W - 5 = 0
2W = 5
W = 2.5
L = 2W + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 8
Answer:
Width = 2.5 feet and Length = 8 feet
Hope it helps.
