Answer:

Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.

<u>The area is:</u>

  • A = lw = 3x*x = 3x²

<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>

  • w = x - 2

<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>

  • l = 3x + 4

<u>The area is now:</u>

  • (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
  • 3x² +  4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
  • x² - 2x - 8 = 0
  • x² - 2x + 1 = 9
  • (x - 1)² = 3²
  • x - 1 = 3
  • x = 4

The breadth was 4 m and the length  12 m

What is the volume of a cylindrical bucket that is 35 cm tall and has a base with a diameter of 21 cm? Use pi= 22/7 and round yo
Natali [406]
The volume of a cylinder is given by the multiplication of the area of the base by the height of the cylinder.  π×r²(area of the base) × h (height of the cylinder) ⇔
\frac{22}{7}×(\frac{21}{2} )^{2}cm²×35cm=12127.5cm³
(r is half of the diameter. Because we are doing the square of r, the cm also are squared.)
Rounding to the nearest tenth is to round the result so that it maintains a number after the point - the result is 12127.5cm³
