Pretty sure kL is also 8 since it’s a quadrilateral
Answer:
The amount of floor Mrs.Stewart needs for cups of shortening cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs.Stewart pie dough needs cups of shortening for cups of flour.
Now we assume that the shortening needed for cups of flour is cups.
Accordingly we can arrange the ratios.
Plugging the value of as it is number of cups of shortening Mrs.Stewart have used.
And multiplying both sides with ,we have
Number of cups of flour (x)
So (x)
The amount of floor Mrs.Stewart needed for cups of shortening = .
Width is x.
Length is (x + 1).
Area = length*width
56 = x(x+1)
x² + x - 56 = 0
(x+8)(x-7)=0
x = - 8, or x = 7
"- 8" is impossible for width.
So, width x = 7
Length = (x+1) = 7+1 = 8
