Answer:

Length= 17 ft; Width= 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

L= length

w= width= L-3

A= area= 238 ft^2

LENGTH

Area Formula

A= LW

substitute w value

238= (L)(L- 3)

multiply L by parentheses

238= L^2 - 3L

subtract 238 from both sides

0= L^2 - 3L - 238

factor

0= (L + 14)(L - 17)

set each parentheses equal to 0

0= L + 14

-14= L

OR

0= L - 17

17 ft= L

*Since the measure of a rectangle would not be negative, L= 17 ft

WIDTH

w= L - 3

w= 17 - 3

w= 14 ft

ANSWER: Length= 17 ft; Width= 14 ft

Multiply <br> (-3/4) x (-2/9)
xeze [42]

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you simply multiply numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator, and if possible, you later simplify the answer.

\frac{-3}{4} * \frac{-2}{9} = \frac{6}{36}

\frac{6}{36} / 6 = \frac{1}{6}

Hope it helped,

What is the volume of the following triangular prism?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

<h2>288 ft³</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a volume of a prism:

V=BH

where

<em>B</em><em> - area of a base</em>

<em>H</em><em> - height of a prism</em>

<em />

In the base we have the right treiangle. The formula of an area of a right triangle is:

A=\dfrac{ab}{2}

where

<em>a, b</em><em> - are legs</em>

We have

a=6\ ft,\ b=8\ ft

Substitute:

B=\dfrac{(6)(8)}{2}=\dfrac{48}{2}=24\ ft^2

Calculate the volume.

Substitute

B=24\ ft^2,\ H=12\ ft

V=(24)(12)=288\ ft^3
