Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

put unknown as y

area of rectangle = width × long

y(y - 2)=48

y² -2y =48

u can use scientific calculator to find this

y²-2y-48=0

(y-8)(y+6)=0

y=8 y=-6

take the positive value and ignore the negative value

width=y-2 long=8

8-2=6

I hope this help you :)

How to explain why a trapezoid is a quadrilateral but a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid
Alex787 [66]

A quadrilateral is any figure with 4 sides, no matter what the lengths of
the sides or the sizes of the angles are ... just as long as it has four straight
sides that meet and close it up.

Once you start imposing some special requirements on the lengths of
the sides,  or their relationship to each other, or the size of the angles,
you start making special kinds of quadrilaterals, that have special names.

The simplest requirement of all is that there must be one pair of sides that
are parallel to each other.  That makes a quadrilateral called a 'trapezoid'.
That's why a quadrilateral is not always a trapezoid.

Here are some other, more strict requirements, that make other special
quadrilaterals:

-- Two pairs of parallel sides . . . . 'parallelogram'

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'rectangle'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length . . . 'rhombus'
           (also a special kind of parallelogram)

-- Two pairs of parallel sides
AND all sides the same length
AND all angles the same size . . . . 'square'.
           (also a special kind of parallelogram, rectangle, and rhombus)

Maru [420]

Answer:

13/4 * 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it says that her coach wants her to run 2 1/2 TIMES the original 3/4 she had ran. Therefore, you would want to make the fractions into improper fractions, and then multiply, which is how you would get 13/4 * 5/2.
