Answer:
length : 10 yard
width: 14 yard
Step-by-step explanation:
Let l be the length of the yard.
Since the width is 6 yards less than twice its length, we can say the width is 2l-6.
With width x length=area,
l (2l -6) = 140
2l^2 - 6l = 140
2l^2 - 6l - 140 = 0
Using the quadratic formula,
we can determine l = 10 or -7
since the length should not be negative,
the length is 10 yard.
Now substitute l=10 into 2l-6.
width = 2(10)-6
= 14 yard
The answer is 1/2. The purple shape is half the size of the black shape.
Well, since we have not actually done this experiment, we cannot use a experimental probabiltity, so we can say the correct answer is: <span>
